The listing
Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced Benefits Consultant to join our fully remote team. The Benefits Consultant owns the full lifecycle of benefits and 401(k) administration across a portfolio of small and mid-sized employers. This role blends hands-on plan administration with consultative guidance — helping clients design, implement, and run benefits programs that fit their workforce, budget, and compliance obligations. The ideal candidate comes from a brokerage or benefits consulting background and is comfortable shifting between strategic plan design conversations and the operational details of enrollment, billing, and carrier coordination. This is a permanent part-time, fully remote position. We are looking for someone who wants RCR to be their work - not a side engagement alongside other employment or their own consulting practice.
The Schedule
Core hours are 11:00 - 4:00 p.m. Eastern, when we need you reachable for clients. The remaining hours each week are yours to place — early mornings, evenings, whatever fits your life. We hold this schedule seriously; it is the reason the role exists as part-time rather than full-time.
We do ask for flexibility to pick up additional hours occasionally when client needs spike — open enrollment, an implementation go-live, an urgent employee relations matter.
Key Responsibilities
Health & Welfare Benefits Administration
Qualifications
Required
Compensation and Benefits:
We are committed to being an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
