Voluntary Benefits Consultant- Mid Market Leader

Voluntary Benefits Consultant – Mid Market Leader

At Mercer, we deliver innovative solutions that address needs of our clients and their employees. As a Voluntary Benefits Consultant in Mercer's Mid-Market practice (clients with up to 5,000 lives), you will be accountable for account management by driving client satisfaction and revenue growth across an assigned portfolio.

You will assist a group of colleagues who manage requests for inforce clients up to 1,500 lives and, as business needs require, support and oversee additional accounts exceeding 1,500 lives. Leveraging deep voluntary benefits expertise, you will partner with Lead Consultants and Client Managers to design, implement and manage voluntary benefit solutions that align with clients' global benefits strategies and objectives.

You will collaborate closely with regional Health & Benefits colleagues and draw on the resources of our Voluntary Benefits Center of Excellence.
