Senior Benefits Coordinator

Position: Senior Benefits Coordinator

Location: Elkhart, IN ( Onsite )

About the Role

A growing, mid-sized organization in St. Joseph is seeking a Benefits Administrator to step into a highly visible, hands-on role supporting benefits operations during a high-activity period. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys ownership, problem-solving, and working directly with vendors, brokers, and employees.

You’ll play a key role in ensuring benefit programs run smoothly, accurately, and compliantly — especially within a self-insured medical plan environment. If you’re comfortable navigating plan documents, reconciling invoices, and serving as the “go-to” resource for benefits questions, this role offers meaningful impact and stability.

What You’ll Be Responsible For:

• Oversee day-to-day administration of employee benefits programs including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and retirement plans
• Act as the primary liaison between employees, brokers, carriers, and internal HR/Payroll teams
• Review, process, and reconcile benefit invoices; partner with brokers to resolve discrepancies
• Maintain accurate benefits data in the HRIS system, ensuring deductions, enrollments, and reporting are correct
• Support open enrollment activities, life-event changes, and ongoing plan updates

What We’re Looking For:

• 2–3+ years of hands-on benefits administration experience in a mid-sized organization
• Experience supporting self-insured medical plans and understanding claims funding structures
• Working knowledge of vendor, broker, and carrier relationships — including issue escalation
• HRIS experience with benefits administration
• Comfort explaining benefit and retirement plan details to employees

Compensation

$60,000 – $75,000 annually, depending on experience
