Benefits Program Manager (Temporary Non-Benefited)

Benefits Program Manager (Temporary Non-Benefited)

We're looking for an experienced and collaborative professional to join our team as a Benefits Program Manager (Temporary, Full-Time). In this role, you'll help design and deliver employee benefit and pay programs that support our workforce and keep our organization running smoothly. This role is especially important during a time of change—you'll help ensure that new or updated programs are thoughtfully built, accurately implemented, and clearly communicated. Your work will directly support employees' access to benefits and pay, making a meaningful impact on their overall experience. The role offers an annual salary rate of $86,773, adjusted proportionally to reflect the 8-month term of the position.

You'll work across teams to bring new or improved benefit and pay programs to life—from planning through launch. In this role, you will:

• Help design and implement new or updated employee benefit and pay programs
• Configure and test systems to ensure programs are set up correctly
• Partner with teams across HR, Payroll, Finance, IT, Legal, and others to coordinate implementation
• Work closely with external vendors to support program setup and delivery
• Ensure programs meet compliance and regulatory requirements
• Support clear and effective communication so employees understand changes
• Identify and resolve issues to ensure a smooth rollout and transition

This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys both strategy and hands-on work, and who can connect the details of systems and processes with the bigger picture of employee experience. You may be successful in this role if you:

• Have strong experience in benefits administration, compensation, or related HR work
• Are comfortable working with HR systems and enjoy problem-solving in technical environments
• Pay close attention to detail and take pride in getting things right
• Communicate clearly and collaborate well with a variety of teams
• Can manage multiple priorities and stay organized in a fast-moving environment
• Bring a thoughtful, solutions-focused approach to your work

At Roswell Park, every role plays a part in advancing cancer research, care, and innovation. Even in a temporary role, your contributions help support the people who make that mission possible. Here's what makes this a great place to work:

• Purpose-driven work: Your efforts help support employees who are dedicated to improving and saving lives
• Collaborative culture: Work alongside teams that value partnership, respect, and shared success
• Meaningful impact: Play a key role in shaping programs that directly affect employees' well-being
• Professional growth: Gain valuable experience in program design, systems, and cross-functional collaboration

If you're someone who enjoys bringing structure to complex work and making a real difference behind the scenes, we'd love to have you on the team.

Required Education and Experience: Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Finance, Management Information Systems, or a related field, and the equivalent of five (5) years of full-time progressive experience in benefits administration and implementation, including HRIS supported environments.
