Job Description

Our Mission

We're not your average benefits platform; we're the unordinary force that uplifts people's lives. Our technology is the link that connects the entire benefits ecosystem, creating better outcomes for employers, employees, brokers, and providers.

Our mission is clear: we're here to create a world where everything operates at its very best, ensuring that every employee receives the support they need to live life to the fullest, both at work and beyond.

Your Mission

In this role, you'll have a unique opportunity to help establish our Benefits Design function at Ben.

  • Monitor the renewal of clients and identify, contact and upsell benefit design governance periodically, based upon the benefit design methodology

You’ll love this role if…

  • Ideally you will have experience working with enterprise level customers and working with executive level stakeholders

  • Excellent communicator, including both written and verbal presentation skills

  • Extremely proactive in staying up to date in the benefits space, driving forward your learning and development in the industry

  • Team player - you’ll be working across different departments to help ensure that customers have the best experience

  • You're looking for a hybrid working environment - this role is 3 days a week in our London office
