 Renewal & Marketing

•  Support the annual renewal process by collecting data, reviewing carrier proposals, verifying accuracy, and preparing market analyses.
• Assist in negotiating rates and terms with carriers to align with client goals and budget.
• Coordinate implementation for new business and carrier changes, including enrollment files, eligibility transfers, and vendor setup.

 Plan Administration

• Oversee routine administrative tasks including eligibility updates, COBRA notifications (if applicable), evidence-of-insurability (EOI) tracking, and invoice audits.
• Maintain accurate and organized client files, benefit summaries, and compliance documentation.
• Monitor and support ACA reporting, ERISA requirements, Section 125 documentation, and other regulatory deliverables.

 Employee Communications & Education

•  Prepare open enrollment materials including guides, videos, slide decks, and FAQs.
• Conduct open enrollment meetings (virtual or onsite) and ongoing employee education sessions.
• Develop content to support HR teams with onboarding, Q&A, and employee outreach.
