About the role

Armada seeks a Benefits Manager to own and operate the US benefits program, ensuring enrollment, renewals, broker/carrier management, compliance, and employee relations, with cross-functional partnership to HR, Payroll, Finance, Legal, and Global Mobility.

Responsibilities

  • Own benefits administration end to end. Manage the full benefits lifecycle for US employees, including new hire enrollment, qualifying life events, changes, COBRA, and offboarding, resolving issues accurately and on time.
  • Run open enrollment. Coordinate with the broker and carriers and deliver clear employee communications.
  • Manage brokers, carriers, and vendors. Serve as the day-to-day owner of Armada's benefits partners, hold them to service levels, escalate service issues, and support renewal and marketing analysis with recommendations on cost and quality trade-offs.
  • Keep the program compliant. Own the compliance calendar and maintain compliance with US benefits requirements, including ERISA, ACA reporting, COBRA, HIPAA, Section 125, 401k audit, nondisrimination testing, and state-level mandates, escalating novel or evolving risks.
  • Handle benefits-related employee questions. Act as the go-to resource for benefits questions and concerns, handling sensitive situations such as medical leave, family changes, or loss with discretion and empathy.
  • Partner on payroll and budget accuracy. Work with Payroll and HR Operations to make sure deductions, employer contributions, and carrier feeds are accurate and reconciled every pay period. Partner with Finance on benefits invoices, budgeting, and forecasting.
  • Support benefits beyond the US. Partner with our EOR providers to make sure benefits for employees outside the US are compliant with local requirements and consistent with Armada's approach.
  • Build processes that scale. Document and improve benefits processes and policies so they are clear, repeatable, and audit-ready, using automation and AI tools where they add real efficiency.

  • Hands-on ownership of open enrollment for a US employer, ideally in a high-growth company
