Position Overview

We are hiring a Vice President of Employee Benefits to lead growth in this vertical and help shape the future of the firm.

• Collaborate with ERS leadership on delivery, carrier negotiations, and positioning
• Contribute to the long-term strategy and infrastructure needed to scale the benefits practice
• Serve as a foundational leader and voice for the firm’s EB growth

Qualifications

• Must hold a valid Life & Health Insurance License (active and in good standing)
• 7+ years of experience in employee benefits — with a strong background in sales or strategic account leadership
• Demonstrated ability to win and grow business independently
• Private equity or middle-market experience preferred, but not required
• Entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable with ambiguity, driven by ownership
• Excellent communication and executive presence — confident engaging CFOs, CEOs, and HR leaders
