  • Cross-Functional Collaboration : Partner with Global Delivery Centers, Client Service Teams, actuaries, and clinicians to ensure seamless project execution and superior results.
  • Client Relationship Management : Build strong relationships with employer and vendor contacts, serving as a trusted advisor to drive engagement and loyalty.
  • Thought Leadership : Contribute to intellectual capital development, identify opportunities for innovation, and support new business, expansion, and cross-selling initiatives.

  • Strategic thinker with a solutions-oriented mindset who can synthesize insights and translate them into clear, actionable client recommendations.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to confidently present complex financial concepts to executives (CFO, CHRO, CEO).
