Benefits Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: Intro paragraph: "We see the world differently at Capstone Investment Advisors. You will, too. Capstone Investment Advisors, LLC (“Capstone”) is a global asset manager, dedicated to exploring alpha opportunities in derivatives and complementary strategies that persist across market cycles. With approximately $12.5 billion of AUM (as of May 1, 2026) and 306 employees, Capstone is headquartered in New York with offices in London, Amsterdam, Stamford, Los Angeles, Boston, Tokyo, Milan, Texas, and Maryland. Since 2004, through strategic insight, market-leading expertise, and advanced technology, we have sought to anticipate and harness the complexities of world markets, creating unique opportunities for our clients, team, and industry. With our sophisticated, global client base, we recognize that our success is deeply connected to real people. For that reason, we take a human approach to everything we do, focusing largely on collaborative performance. Our workflow and process are built around the belief that by sharing ideas, we achieve greater outcomes. This gives you greater access to resources, direct exposure to senior leadership, and new opportunities to experiment and innovate." Then "Overview Capstone is seeking a detail-oriented, high-performing Benefits Specialist to own and deliver our global benefits programs. This role is responsible for the day-to-day administration, execution, and continuous improvement of our health, welfare, and retirement offerings, ensuring a seamless and compliant employee experience. Reporting to the Head of People, this role will operate with a high degree of independence while partnering closely with People Operations, Payroll, and Finance. This position offers the opportunity to expand scope over time and deepen expertise across benefits and broader People Operations. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes pride in accuracy and ownership, and is motivated to build scalable, well-run processes. You will play a critical role in maintaining a high-quality benefits experience while contributing to the continued evolution of the People function." Then "Responsibilities And Impact" bullet list (actually sentences separated by no bullet but each line starts with verb). We need to turn into

• . List items: - Own day-to-day administration and delivery of all global employee benefit programs, including health, welfare, retirement, and wellness offerings - Serve as the primary point of contact for employees on all benefits-related inquiries and issue resolution - Manage the annual benefits renewal process, including data gathering, analysis, and implementation - Ensure compliance with all applicable benefits regulations (ACA, ERISA, COBRA, HIPAA, etc.) and maintain accurate documentation - Manage relationships with brokers and vendors, including renewals, performance tracking, and ongoing support - Partner closely with Finance, Payroll and People Operations to reconcile benefit invoices and ensure data accuracy across systems - Administer leave of absence programs and documentation (FMLA, disability, state programs, etc.) - Maintain and update benefits data and deductions within HRIS, ensuring accuracy and alignment across systems - Analyze plan utilization, costs, and market trends to recommend improvements and cost optimization strategies - Contribute to employee communications and education to improve understanding and engagement with benefits programs - Support broader People initiatives, including wellness and employee experience programs - Cross-train in payroll processing, partnering with the Payroll Specialist to support accuracy, continuity, and coverage as needed - Assist with ad hoc projects and process improvements to enhance efficiency and scalability of People Operations Then "Our Future Colleague Has These Skills" list: - Bachelor’s degree - 5+ years of hands-on benefits administration in a high-volume, fast-paced environment - Strong experience managing health & welfare and retirement programs, including vendor and broker management - Solid working knowledge of benefits regulations and compliance requirements (HIPAA, COBRA, ACA, ERISA, IRS, DOL, etc.) - Exposure to or strong interest in payroll processes, with a willingness to cross-train and provide backup support for payroll operations - High attention to detail with the ability to manage sensitive data with accuracy and confidentiality - Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively - Comfortable working cross-functionally with Finance, Payroll, and People Operations partners - Adaptable, proactive, and able to operate effectively in a growing and evolving environment - Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly and concisely support employees at all levels Then "Do You Possess These Bonus Skills" list: - Familiarity with international benefits programs - Exposure to payroll processes Then "Benefits & Compensation Information" paragraph: "Our team is our most important asset and investment. We value and respect our colleagues and their well-being inside and outside the workplace and our culture reflects this. We offer a robust and competitive benefits program to ensure the well-being of our colleagues. Some Benefits Included In This Role Are Training and development opportunitiesRobust Wellness Resources: Physical, Mental and FinancialTime-Off, Retirement and Commuter BenefitsGym Reimbursement and other Discounts" Note there is missing punctuation; we need to parse as list: Training and development opportunities, Robust Wellness Resources: Physical, Mental and Financial, Time-Off, Retirement and Commuter Benefits, Gym Reimbursement and other Discounts. Then "The applicable base salary range for this role is $125,000 - $160,000 USD. The base pay offered will be determined on factors such as experience, skills, training, location, certifications, education, and any applicable minimum wage requirements. Decisions will be determined on a case-by-case basis. In addition to the base salary, this position may be eligible for performance-based incentives. In addition to base compensation, this role is eligible for an annual incentive plan." Thus we have Pay info. Also there is a link to learn more and LinkedIn etc but those are boilerplate/application instructions; we should remove. Also "Capstone’s Commitment" etc is boilerplate (diversity, EEO). Remove. Thus sections we have: - About the role (maybe overview/intro). Could be "About the role" heading containing overview paragraph(s). We have intro and overview. We'll combine into a

  about the role. - Responsibilities: heading

  Responsibilities

  with
  . - Requirements / Qualifications: we have "Our Future Colleague Has These Skills" which are requirements/qualifications. Could be "Qualifications". Also there is "Do You Possess These Bonus Skills" which could be "Preferred Qualifications" or "Bonus Skills". Since we need to prefer few substantive sections, we could combine both into one "Qualifications" section with required and preferred bullet lists, maybe separate headings? But we must not create thin sections. Could have one

  Qualifications

  containing two
  maybe with headings inside? But we cannot add extra headings besides

  for section headings. Could we embed inside? Probably okay. But we need to follow rule: use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have a section Qualifications. Inside we can have paragraphs and lists. We could separate required and bonus as separate

  with preceding

  indicating required vs bonus. That is fine. - Benefits: we have benefits info. So

  Benefits

  with
  . - Pay: we have salary range etc. So

  Pay

  with

  . - Schedule: not mentioned. So omit. - Skills: we could have a Skills section but we already have qualifications covering skills. Could omit Skills to avoid thin. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Check if any other specifics: maybe "Overview" could be part of About the role. Now produce HTML fragment. We must not include markdown code fences. Just raw HTML. Let's craft:
