Benefits Coordinator

Overview

We're hiring a Benefits Coordinator to support the day-to-day administration of our employee benefits programs and serve as a helpful, reliable resource for employees.


You'll be the person people go to when they have questions, need help, or just want someone to explain things in a way that actually makes sense. You'll handle enrollments, updates, and ensure everything stays accurate and organized behind the scenes.


Benefits can be confusing. Deductibles, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximums... they all sound important, and most people aren't totally sure what the difference is.


That's where you come in.


If you've worked in benefits before (either internally at a company or on the insurance side), you already know how important the details are... and how much people rely on you to get things right.


At the end of the day, this role is about being helpful, being accurate, and making something complicated feel simple.


This role is designated as hybrid. Initial training and onboarding will take place on-site in our Post Falls, ID office to ensure you're set up for success. After approximately the first 30 days, you'll have the flexibility to work remotely up to two days per week, depending on team needs and performance.
