Compensation Specialist

Job Description

The Contribution Specialist plays a critical role in the end-to-end processing, reconciliation, and quality assurance of employer contributions that fund participant health and pension benefits. This position sits at the front end of the contribution lifecycle, serving as a key control point where earnings and contribution data are reviewed, reconciled, corrected, and approved before flowing downstream to eligibility and benefit calculations.

This role focuses heavily on complex, non-standard contribution scenarios and end to end analysis of scenarios -including overpayments, underpayments, file exceptions, and reconciliation issues that automation cannot resolve-requiring strong analytical skills, transactional execution, and an accounting-oriented mindset. The Specialist partners closely with internal teams and external vendors to identify root causes, resolve discrepancies, and improve processing accuracy and timeliness.

Key Responsibilities:

• Process and reconcile employer earnings and contribution files, including complex, non-standard scenarios where automation fails.

• Identify, research, and resolve overpayment and underpayment discrepancies; submit adjustments to fully reconcile contributions.

• Analyze large, high-volume datasets to identify patterns, trends, and root causes of recurring contribution discrepancies.

• Perform detailed exception reviews to determine why files or payments failed business rules or system logic.

• Execute corrective actions based on analysis, ensuring issues are resolved end-to-end-not just identified.

• Serve as a first point of escalation for complex contribution issues and perform QA reviews of processed work.

• Partner with internal teams and external vendors to resolve reporting errors and contribution mismatches.

• Support internal and external audits, including review of reconciliations, refunds, and adjustments.

• Navigate multiple systems and tools to research, process, and resolve contribution activity accurately and timely.

• Identify opportunities to improve processes, controls, and automation within contribution workflows.
