We are seeking a Benefits and Wellness Coordinator to administer and coordinate employee benefits programs, total rewards initiatives, and corporate wellness strategies that support employee well-being and organizational performance. You will manage day-to-day benefits operations, develop engaging internal communications, coordinate wellness programming, and support compensation and recognition initiatives - all while serving as a knowledgeable, responsive resource for employees navigating their benefits. This role is for someone who is detail-oriented, employee-focused, and uses AI to produce higher-quality communications, analyze program data, and handle administrative workflows more efficiently.

What You'll Do

• Administer employee benefits programs including group health, dental and vision, flexible spending accounts, accident and disability, life insurance, 401(k), and wellness benefits
• Use AI tools to draft employee-facing benefits communications, wellness content, newsletter articles, and intranet updates - producing clearer, more engaging materials faster and at a consistently high standard
• Serve as a knowledgeable point of contact for employee benefits inquiries, resolving issues with providers and redirecting employees to appropriate resources when needed
• Maintain accurate records in HRIS systems and ensure compliance with all applicable benefits regulations
• Coordinate wellness activities and programs including fitness challenges, mental health workshops, and wellness fairs - managing logistics, communications, and follow-through from planning through execution
• Monitor and evaluate wellness program effectiveness through participation metrics and employee feedback, using AI to analyze results and surface insights that inform future programming
• Create engaging content for internal newsletters, intranet updates, and other communications channels that promote wellness initiatives and drive employee participation
• Assist with coordination and execution of employee wellness and philanthropic efforts, including back-end administration such as tracking and processing
• Support data entry, reporting, and analysis related to salary structures, market benchmarking, and pay equity initiatives
• Assist in the execution and communication of total rewards initiatives including employee recognition programs, incentive plans, and other rewards strategies
• Respond to routine HR questions related to benefits, payroll, and time off with accuracy and professionalism
• Support the broader HR team in implementing programs that improve the employee experience, taking on meeting coordination, presentation preparation, and other administrative responsibilities as needed

What Sets You Apart

• 1 to 2 years of administrative experience, preferably supporting HR functions, with knowledge of employee benefits, wellness coordination, or compensation strategies
• An AI-native mindset. You actively use tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot to draft benefits communications, build wellness content, summarize program data, and streamline administrative workflows - and you can speak to how they improve what you deliver to employees
• Exceptional follow-through, attention to detail, and organizational skills - you manage complex, high-volume workflows accurately and nothing falls through the cracks
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate benefits and wellness information into clear, engaging content that employees actually read and act on
• Employee-focused and service-oriented - you handle every interaction, from routine questions to complex benefits issues, with professionalism and care
• Proven ability to handle sensitive employee information with confidentiality and discretion
• Team player who thrives in a collaborative environment and takes initiative without waiting to be asked
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and HRIS platforms
• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources or a related field

AI Capability Expectation

Candidates should be prepared to discuss how they are currently using AI in their HR, benefits, or wellness coordination work. This includes:

• Specific tools in active use and how they support benefits communications drafting, wellness content creation, program reporting, or HRIS data management
• Examples of how AI has helped you produce clearer employee-facing materials, analyze participation data, or handle high-volume administrative tasks more efficiently
• How you use AI responsibly when working with sensitive employee benefits and compensation information
• Bonus: examples of AI-assisted communications, wellness campaigns, or administrative workflows that improved employee engagement, program participation, or operational accuracy

Compensation Range

$50,000 to $55,000 per year, depending on qualifications. Eligible for annual company bonus program or commission incentive based on role. Compensation will depend on factors including educational background, skills, and professional experience.
