Job description

Vestwell is the financial technology company powering the new savings economy. Our platform redefines how people save for the critical aspects of life across retirement, education, and healthcare savings needs. Today, Vestwell enables over 350,000 businesses and over 2M active savers, with over $50B in assets saved across all 50 states. Vestwell's platform serves a diverse clientele, including financial advisers, employers, third‑party administrators, financial institutions, payroll providers, government agencies, and individual savers.

Who Are We Looking For?

The Program Management team exists to drive tactical efficiency while always keeping the big picture in mind. Members of the Program Management team are the connective tissue between the client‑facing front end and the operational backend. We use data to identify the initiatives that will have the largest impacts, and manage our roadmap accordingly. We strive to ensure that Vestwell’s operational teams have the tools they need to provide an exceptional experience for partners and clients while working within optimized, repeatable processes that create scalable and predictable timelines. When we’re successful, it allows for proper expectation setting for our clients and reliable revenue recognition for the business.

What Will You Be Doing?

• Partner with stakeholders across business units (ex: sales, finance, service, compliance) to analyze and document how new products and opportunities will impact operational processes and the systems involved, including Special Projects and Pooled Employer Plans (PEP).
• Take that analysis and turn it into actionable requirements that can be handed over to the teams tasked with building and/or implementation.
• Assist in the managing and updating of a long‑term solution roadmap, and contributing to prioritization of the initiatives on the roadmap.
• Evaluate, analyze, and communicate system requirements on a continuing basis, and maintain systems processes as updates are made.
• Author and update internal and external documentation, and formally initiate and deliver requirements and documentation.
• Leverage data and reporting to identify trends, inefficiencies, and prioritization.

Requirements

• Strong written/oral communication and organization skills.
• Drive to lift up team members through collaboration, training, and coordination.
• Love of learning and growth, to continue to level‑up technical and softer skills.
• Stakeholder management: collaborate with stakeholders to gather project requirements and provide teams with required input for implementation.
• Demonstrated ability to balance own workload with team needs and speak up and work with managers to prioritize projects when needed.
• Ability to dig deep into the details of one product or process while keeping the big picture in mind.
• Continued growth in industry and regulatory knowledge, to support prioritization efforts (balancing efficiency with regulatory requirements).
• Proficiency with process documentation and workflow mapping.
• Experience in the retirement, financial services or employee benefit industries.

Additional Requirements

• Understanding of the retirement and employee benefit industry.
• Extensive knowledge of ERISA rules and requirements.
• Familiarity with contracting, agreements and DocuSign.
• Prior experience working in an agile or scrum framework.

This role will be based in either the New York City, Austin, or Scottsdale office, and will be part of Vestwell's hybrid in‑office operation. The expected base salary range for this position is $70K – $80K base. This position is eligible to participate in the Company Bonus Pool and is eligible to receive new‑hire equity in the Company. Salary bands are based on New York and other similar metro areas and may differ based on where the role is ultimately hired.

Benefits

We’re an innovative, high‑growth company with an exciting future ahead. Vestwell prioritizes employee wellbeing through comprehensive health benefits, generous time off, and a dedicated Employee Wellbeing Committee. Our hybrid work model offers flexibility while providing access to our collaborative offices in Midtown Manhattan, Austin, King of Prussia, and Scottsdale. We also offer a competitive 401(k) plan.
