Benefits Manager

Our client, a growing organization based in the Charlotte, NC area, is seeking an experienced Benefits Manager to own the design, administration, and vendor management of its employee benefits programs.

• Partner cross-functionally with regional HR managers to ensure consistent benefits delivery

• Lead plan design for the upcoming year in close collaboration with the CPO

What You Bring
