Job description

A path for every ambition. At HUB, we believe the best work happens when people are given real space to grow and then given the autonomy to exercise it.

We’re creative thinkers and determined doers, guided by values that show up in how we work together: with empathy, adaptability, accountability and a genuine commitment to one another’s success. We foster bold ideas, celebrate curiosity and share what we know. Because when people grow, the work they do grows with them.

Whether you’re starting out or leveling up, you’ll find the resources to evolve, the support to take on more and a team ready to back you at every stage. Your ambition has a home here. We currently have an opportunity for a Benefits Consultant to join our Employee Benefits team in our Pittsburg, PA office on a Hybrid work schedule.
