Job Description

Senior Compliance Consultant (Health & Welfare Benefits)

Remote (U.S. – CST/EST Preferred) | Occasional Travel

About the Opportunity

Our client is a rapidly growing, highly respected organization redefining how employers, brokers, and third-party administrators navigate the complex world of employee benefits.

By bringing together multiple legacy capabilities into one integrated platform, they deliver best-in-class solutions across compliance, claims, and analytics—helping clients simplify complexity and operate more efficiently.

This is a high-impact opportunity to join a collaborative, forward-thinking team where compliance is not just reactive—but strategic, consultative, and deeply valued.

The Role

We are seeking a Senior Compliance Consultant with deep expertise in health & welfare benefits to support a national client base.

This individual will serve as a trusted advisor to employers, brokers, TPAs, and PBMs—helping them interpret and apply evolving federal and state regulations across benefit plans.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys translating complex regulations into practical guidance, thrives in a consultative environment, and wants to be part of a team shaping the future of benefits compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted compliance advisor to clients across the U.S.
• Provide expert guidance on health & welfare benefit regulations
• Respond to ~12–15 daily compliance inquiries (phone/email) with a 24-hour turnaround
• Develop and deliver webinars, trainings, and educational seminars
• Author thought leadership content (bi-weekly articles, resources, tools)
• Monitor and interpret evolving legislation and regulatory updates
• Partner cross-functionally to support product development and innovation
• Act as a subject matter expert internally and mentor junior team members
• Contribute to process improvements and scalable client solutions
• Participate in occasional travel (2–3x/year) for client and team engagement

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in employee benefits compliance consulting
• Strong expertise across IRS, DOL, and CMS regulations
• Deep knowledge of: ERISA, COBRA, ACA, §125, MHPAEA, HIPAA
• Ability to translate complex regulatory information into clear, actionable insights
• Excellent communication, presentation, and client-facing skills
• Strong analytical mindset and business acumen
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Experience with compliance research tools (e.g., EBIA, Westlaw)
• JD preferred

Why This Role Stands Out

• True consultative role (not transactional or back-office)
• Highly visible impact across clients and internal product strategy
• Strong growth trajectory and investment in compliance as a core function
• Collaborative, team-oriented culture with subject matter depth
• Opportunity to build thought leadership and industry presence
