You're not just designing benefits—you’re architecting wellbeing for thousands of employees. In this strategic leadership role, you'll own the full spectrum of benefits programs for a multi-state healthcare organization with over 100 care sites and 1,500 physicians.
This is for leaders who want to influence health, retirement, and wellbeing outcomes at scale—not just administer plans.
You’ll serve as the enterprise-wide leader of benefits strategy, implementation, and compliance. This is your chance to:
- Design and implement benefit programs (healthcare, 401k, wellness, time off) that attract, retain, and engage employees.
- Own the end-to-end strategy and execution across 6 states and 23,000 employees.
- Align benefits offerings with broader talent strategies and business goals.
- Oversee vendor relationships: carriers, brokers, TPAs, consultants.
- Leverage data to manage cost, assess plan effectiveness, and drive continuous improvement.
- Ensure year-over-year benefits competitiveness through innovation and analytics.
- Maintain full compliance with federal and state regulations—including ACA, SOX, and M&A scenarios.
- Lead the annual Open Enrollment cycle, including all systems and communications.
- Partner with Legal and Finance teams on risk, reporting, and audits.
You’ve led benefits strategy across a large, complex, multi-site organization. You’re data-savvy, vendor-smart, and financially sharp. You thrive in fast-paced, high-change environments. You’re both strategic and tactical—with a mindset for innovation, not maintenance.
- 10+ years in HR or benefits leadership, ideally in hospital or multi-site healthcare systems
- Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, or Accounting (CEBS or CBP preferred)
- Experience with M&A, SOX, ACA, and vendor evaluations/RFPs
- Advanced Excel skills + ERP/HRIS tools (Lawson preferred)
- Strong leadership presence, stakeholder communication, and execution under pressure
- Hospital-based or healthcare services experience
- Financial acumen and budgeting experience
- Able to start by July 1st and relocate if needed
- Known for building scalable systems that serve real people
