Type of Employment: Contracted W-2
Location: Remote
Pay: $40-45 per hour
Job Summary
We are looking for an experienced Benefits Consultant to work with our team on a contractual basis. This person will be responsible for assisting the day-to-day operations and communication of group benefits programs (group health, dental, vision, short-term and long-term disability, life insurance and accident plan, flexible spending plan and vacation time). Skilled in answering challenging questions, understanding various employee situations and responding to changing circumstances. You must be highly attuned to how people are responding and focus on details of each individual case. They must step back from these cases to see emerging patterns and adjust processes and support mechanisms as needed.
This role will flex between analyst-level execution and manager-level oversight depending on the scope and needs of each project, requiring both hands-on benefits administration and strategic guidance.
At Alliant Human Capital, we value goals, workforce engagement, collaborative thinking, life outside of work, and challenging the status quo. We are a management consulting and professional services firm who specializes in people strategies and organizational solutions that drive performance. We are valued partners with our clients in the areas of strategy, organization, and people – building relationships with a thoughtful, responsive, and authentic approach to business practices. We highly value our employees and believe in a strong work/life balance, all while working remotely.
We are looking for someone who can be responsible for multiple programs, work with numerous individuals (staff, clients, vendors etc.), has professional knowledge in the field of benefits and HR, and can utilize a variety of strategic consulting skills.

- Benefits Data Entry & Maintenance: Manage and update employee benefits information in systems.
- Open Enrollment Support: Assist with data gathering and employee communication during open enrollment periods.
- Compliance Tracking: Monitor compliance with benefits regulations (e.g., ACA, COBRA).
- Benefit Plan Design: Developing customized benefit plans tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. This involves selecting and recommending appropriate medical, dental, vision, retirement, life insurance, and other employee benefit options.
- Open Enrollment Support: Coordinating and facilitating the annual open enrollment process, including developing communication materials, conducting employee education sessions, and addressing individual inquiries and concerns.
- Employee Education and Communication: Developing and delivering educational materials, presentations, and training sessions to help employees understand their benefit options, coverage details, and utilization guidelines.
- Claims and Issue Resolution: Assisting employees in resolving benefit-related issues, such as claim denials, coverage disputes, and billing discrepancies. Liaising with insurance carriers and third-party administrators to ensure timely and accurate resolution.
- Data Analysis and Reporting: Analyzing benefit utilization data, claims data, and employee feedback to identify trends, cost drivers, and areas for improvement. Preparing reports and presentations summarizing findings and recommendations.
Qualifications
- Minimum of 3-4 years of benefits/LOA related experience
- LOA and ADA experience required
- Project management experience required
- Consulting experience preferred
- Strong customer service, data entry, benefits, and HRIS skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
