Benefits Specialist

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of role, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits. We need headings:

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — none present. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes: - Intro paragraph about role (maybe "About the role"). - Responsibilities: bullet list under "What You'll Do" with subcategories: Benefits Administration & Employee Support, Self-Funded Plan Analysis & Strategy, Vendor & Partner Management, Compliance & Leave Administration, Data Integrity & Reporting. Each subcategory has bullet points. - Requirements: "Who You Are" includes Required Qualifications bullet list, Preferred Qualifications bullet list. - Benefits: "Why Join Felix Construction" includes bullet list of benefits: Become an Owner..., Discretionary annual bonus program, 401k with 6% employer match, Rich benefits package..., Generous Time Off Policy (PTO), 8 paid company holidays, Professional development programs, team activities, and organized volunteer initiatives. - No explicit Pay or Schedule details. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections. We need to avoid filler. So we can have sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list maybe split into Required and Preferred? Could combine but better to keep as one Requirements section with sub-lists? The instruction: Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a Requirements section with two sub-lists? Could just list all qualifications (required and preferred) as items, maybe marking preferred? But we need to preserve all info; we could separate with headings inside? But only

    allowed for section headings; we could have subheadings using or

    but not

    . Probably okay to have a Requirements section with two

    lists: one for Required Qualifications, one for Preferred Qualifications, each preceded by a

    describing. Similarly Benefits section with list. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we capture all substantive info. Let's extract details. Intro: "As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Benefits Specialist who is passionate about creating an exceptional employee experience while helping us manage and optimize our self-funded benefit programs. As our Benefits Specialist, you'll play a key role in ensuring our employees and their families receive exceptional support while helping Felix make data-driven decisions about our benefits strategy. You'll serve as the subject matter expert for employee benefits administration, leave management, compliance, and benefits analytics, with a strong focus on our self-funded medical plans." That's the About the role paragraph. Responsibilities: Under "What You'll Do" we have headings: Benefits Administration & Employee Support - Administer health, dental, vision, life, disability, wellness, and voluntary benefit programs. - Serve as a trusted resource for employees regarding benefits enrollment, qualifying life events, claims issues, and coverage questions. - Partner with new hires during onboarding and support employees through annual Open Enrollment. - Develop clear, engaging employee communications and educational materials.

Vendor & Partner Management - Act as the primary point of contact for TPAs, brokers, stop-loss carriers, and benefit vendors. - Monitor vendor performance and service levels. - Coordinate eligibility, claims administration, invoicing, and reconciliation activities. - Assist with vendor negotiations and renewal processes. Compliance & Leave Administration - Ensure compliance with ERISA, HIPAA, ACA, COBRA, FMLA, ADA, and other applicable regulations. - Coordinate annual audits, Form 5500 filings, and compliance testing. - Manage employee leave requests, disability claims, accommodations, and return-to-work processes. - Partner with leaders and employees to navigate complex leave and accommodation situations. Data Integrity & Reporting - Maintain accurate employee eligibility and enrollment data. - Partner with Payroll and Finance to ensure accurate deductions and vendor payments. - Track and report on key metrics related to benefits costs, employee utilization, compliance, and service levels. We need to preserve all bullet points. Requirements: Required Qualifications bullet list: - 3+ years of experience in benefits administration, total rewards, human resources, or a related field. - Experience administering employer-sponsored health and welfare plans. - Experience with leave administration including FMLA, ADA, and disability programs. - Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret and communicate data. - Advanced Microsoft Excel skills. - Experience working with HRIS and benefits administration systems. - Excellent communication and employee service skills.

Benefits: Under "Why Join Felix Construction" we have paragraph: "Felix Construction is more than a company—we are an employer and contractor of choice with the leadership and infrastructure to sustainably execute on our growth and deliver on our brand promise. We provide the tools, support, and environment where talented individuals grow while delivering projects communities depend on. Don’t just find a job—build a future with Felix Construction. We offer:" then bullet list: - Become an Owner, Not Just an Employee: As a 100% employee-owned company, our success is your success. Our ESOP program is the foundation of our culture, fostering a unique environment of shared accountability, commitment, and reward. - Discretionary annual bonus program - 401k with 6% employer match - Rich benefits package with substantial employer contribution - Generous Time Off Policy (PTO) - 8 paid company holidays - Professional development programs, team activities, and organized volunteer initiatives We need to preserve all. We should not include any filler like "We offer:" as heading? We'll have Benefits section with list. We must not include Pay or Schedule sections. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus produce something like:

    But note: The instruction says use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It didn't forbid nested lists, but we could flatten. However we have headings inside list items; maybe better to have separate sections for each responsibility category. But they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could have Responsibilities section with subheadings using or

      . But we only allowed

      for section headings; we could still use

      for each subcategory inside Responsibilities? That would be many sections. Better to keep one Responsibilities section with a list where each item is a category heading (maybe ) and then nested list. That's acceptable. Similarly for Requirements: we could have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as subheadings inside. Benefits: list. We must ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Already not. Check for any duplicated lines: none. Check for any boilerplate removed: we removed "Why Join Felix Construction" heading? We used Benefits section heading; we omitted the introductory paragraph before list? Should we include that paragraph as prose? The posting includes a paragraph before the list: "Felix Construction is more than a company—we are an employer and contractor of choice with the leadership and infrastructure to sustainably execute on our growth and deliver on our brand promise. We provide the tools, support, and environment where talented individuals grow while delivering projects communities depend on. Don’t just find a job—build a future with Felix Construction. We offer:" This is substantive; we should include it as a

      before the list. So Benefits section:
