Benefits Specialist

Benefits Administrator | Multi-Client PEO Benefits + Compliance If you know benefits administration, you've probably spent time on teams that treated it like just another HR task — until an enrollment broke, a carrier file was wrong, or an ACA deadline got close. You're the one who knows eligibility rules, QLE timing, COBRA windows, and why the payroll deduction has to reconcile. And you have watched that expertise get buried under generalist work. This seat is built around the part you're good at. Market HR Services runs benefits for multiple client companies in a PEO / multi-employer environment out of Wichita, KS, and benefits administration is now one of our highest-priority hires. We need a real benefits administrator — not extra HR help. You will own multi-client benefits administration in iSolved, including plan setup and administration, open enrollment across multiple client companies, eligibility tracking, new-hire enrollments, qualifying life events, and terminations. You will coordinate with carriers, brokers, and TPAs, troubleshoot benefit-system errors, audit benefit data, and keep payroll deductions and contributions accurate. You will generate client reports on utilization, cost, and participation, and support ACA reporting and audit requests. Compliance is part of the seat, not a separate lane. ERISA, ACA, COBRA, FMLA, HIPAA, state leave rules, and annual filings. You don't have to be a lawyer, but you do have to know when accuracy, documentation, and escalation matter. This is a hands-on administrator role. The real failure point is back-office precision under volume, so the work rewards someone who lives in the systems and the details and closes loops without being chased. You are a strong fit if you have: 2+ years of benefits administration with real compliance exposure (eligibility, enrollment, terminations, ACA support, audits, documentation). HRIS / benefits-platform experience, ideally across multiple employers or client companies (PEO / ASO). iSolved is a plus. Strong Excel and analytical discipline for data audits, cost and participation reporting, and deduction handoffs. The detail and priority discipline to juggle enrollment, QLEs, carrier requests, and system corrections without leaving anything open. This role is in-office in Wichita during the 2–3-month onboarding period, with limited hybrid flexibility available once you have mastered the system; it is not a remote role. This is an execution seat, not a strategic or manager-only lane — if you want light HR generalist work or single-employer simplicity, this will frustrate you. Compensation runs $68,000–$82,000, with SHRM-CP/PHR and CEBS credentials moving you up the band. Benefits include 401(k) with match, health, dental, vision, HSA / FSA, life, PTO, and tuition reimbursement. If you want benefits work where system depth, compliance judgment, and clean execution actually matter — let's talk. #J-18808-Ljbffr
