• Effective stakeholder management, judgment, discretion, attention to detail, and ability to manage competing priorities.
• Typically requires 8 or more years of progressively responsible experience in retirement-plan management, retirement consulting, or a closely related discipline.

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field, or equivalent relevant professional experience.

• Timely completion of applicable compliance deliverables and effective resolution of audit findings and operational risks.
• Well-documented governance, clear accountability, and timely escalation of material issues.
