The Role

As a Benefits Consultant, you will drive new revenue by identifying, prospecting, and closing sales of comprehensive employee benefit plans (medical, dental, vision, 401(k), voluntary benefits) to small and mid-sized business (SMB) clients. Leveraging our core payroll platform, you will serve as a trusted advisor, helping business leaders design competitive, cost-effective benefit strategies that attract and retain top talent.

• Conduct deep-dive discovery meetings with HR leaders and business owners to evaluate current benefit structures and present tailored, competitive solutions.

• Collaborate with underwriting partners and insurance carriers to build tailored benefit packages.

• Ensure smooth onboarding for new accounts by working alongside the client implementation and account management teams.

• Stay ahead of industry trends, state/federal compliance regulations (e.g., ACA, ERISA), and competitive dynamics to position our platform effectively.

• Perform other related duties as assigned.

What You Bring

• Exceptional negotiation, presentation, and interpersonal skills, attention to detail, strong problem-solving capabilities, and clear written/verbal communication skills.

• Adaptable and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, startup-like environment.

• Team-oriented, resilient, proactive and solutions-focused.

• Customer-service mindset: clear communication, patience, and professionalism when working with stakeholders.

• Ability to manage multiple requests and prioritize effectively.

• Must be highly organized, dependable and self-disciplined with a strong work ethic.

Education and Experience

• 3+ years of successful B2B consultative sales experience in employee benefits brokerage, PEO, or payroll services.

• Active Life & Health Insurance license required (or required within 30 days of hire).

• Proven history of meeting or exceeding sales quotas and managing a multi-stage sales pipeline.

• Familiarity with payroll integrations, HRIS, or benefits administration technology platforms.
