Group Employee Benefits Consulting Manager

About the role

Group and Voluntary Benefits Consulting Managers lead delivery workstreams on complex agentic transformation programs across the carrier value chain — from front-stage broker and employee experience design through back-stage operational reinvention. This is end-to-end work, not point-solution consulting. Managers on this team design the orchestrated outcomes, build the business cases that justify them, and govern the delivery programs that make them real.

Responsibilities

• Design and deliver agentic value stream solutions — leading workstreams across quoting, onboarding, data exchange, enrollment, billing, claims, integrated absence management, and renewals — with a clear eye on the orchestrated outcome, not isolated automation.
• Translate carrier strategy into operating model design — redesigning how examiners, case managers, underwriters, and enrollment teams work alongside AI agents; distinguishing copilot augmentation from autonomous agent workflows and multi-agent orchestration.
• Build and validate carrier-specific business cases — constructing V1/V2/V3 financial models grounded in loss ratio mechanics, adoption rate sensitivity, and five-year cumulative value architecture.
• Lead platform and technology workstreams — working across industry leading platforms EIS, FINEOS, Majesco, Vitech along with ben tech and ben admin platforms — and designing the integration architecture that makes agentic solutions operational.
• Shape client relationships and grow engagements — contributing to Mode 1 assessments and Mode 2 delivery proposals; developing ideas into go-to-market offerings; identifying net-new opportunities within active accounts.
• Develop and mentor junior consultants — building the team's industry knowledge, analytical frameworks, and agentic AI fluency through active coaching on engagement.
• Bring a product owner mindset — running agile delivery cadences, managing scope and delivery risk, and owning the quality of workstream outputs at client sites and within Accenture.
