Health and Benefits Consultant

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 content. From posting: - About the role: description: "We are seeking a talented individual to join our Health team at Marsh People & Investments. This role can be based in Southfield or Grand Rapids, MI and offers a hybrid work arrangement, requiring a minimum of three days per week in the office. As a Health & Benefits Consultant, you will work collaboratively to lead consulting engagements with employers regarding their medical, dental, life and disability benefit plans and programs, and negotiate with benefits carriers and vendors to secure health and welfare plan coverage for these employers. You will have the opportunity to develop client strategies, interfacing directly with clients and developing vendor relationships." - Responsibilities: list of duties after "We will count on you to:" then bullet list. We need to extract each bullet. Let's parse: We will count on you to: Participate or lead routine client engagements, including managing overall service delivery, strategy, financial evaluations, plan design, renewal, business placement, benchmarking and other projects associated with underwriting health and welfare insurance, brokering contracts or projecting health care related costs Lead developing cost projections and evaluation of vendor renewal workups Thrive and be motivated by an environment that embraces AI and technology-enabled tools Provide high level financial, contract and/or administrative analysis and review of the work of junior staff Perform data analysis (example includes but is not limited to reviewing claims and utilization data and look for trends and patterns); may involve use of the Mercer's internal financial tools to develop self-funded claims projections, set rates and model employee cost-sharing scenarios Review internal compliance and client disclosure requirements, external vendor contracts, summary plan documents (SPD's) and employee communications to ensure alignment with client expectations and legal requirements Handle day-to-day client contact/management to resolve project-related questions and challenges, and guide junior staff members in client interactions These are responsibilities. - Requirements/Qualifications: "What you need to have:" then list: BA/BS degree Minimum of 3 years’ experience in identifying, designing, recommending and implementing efficient, innovative business solutions to clients' complex health care benefits challenges Renowned expertise and industry reputation in the health & benefits field Client facing experience in a consulting environment Excellent analytical and mathematical skills, and strategic planning Exceptional communication and listening skills Self-starter with the ability to collaborate and lead teams to deliver project objectives Proficient in Excel and working knowledge of the MS Office suite These could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We can combine into one section "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose either Requirements or Qualifications. Since we have both experience and education, maybe "Requirements". Also "What makes you stand out?" could be Skills or Qualifications. That section includes: Enthusiastic, innovative sales and marketing skills with the ability to market organizational strengths successfully Demonstrated ability to confidently present and communicate effectively to stakeholders Intellectual curiosity that challenges the status quo These are more like "Skills" or "Preferred Qualifications". Could be under Skills. - Benefits: "Why join our team:" then bullet list: We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work and supportive leaders. We foster a vibrant and inclusive culture where you can work with talented colleagues to create new solutions and have impact for colleagues, clients and communities. Our scale enables us to provide a range of career opportunities, as well as benefits and rewards to enhance your well-being. These are benefits. No explicit Pay or Schedule info besides hybrid work arrangement (minimum three days per week in office). That's schedule info: hybrid work arrangement requiring minimum three days per week in office. So we could include a Schedule section with that detail. Also location: Southfield or Grand Rapids, MI. Could be part of About the role or Schedule? Probably Schedule. Pay: not mentioned, so omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. We need to output HTML fragment only, no extra markup. We'll wrap each section:

About the role

...

etc. For lists:

• ...

. Make sure to preserve all substantive information, no boilerplate. Let's craft. About the role paragraph: combine sentences. Responsibilities: each bullet as

. Requirements: list. Skills: list from "What makes you stand out?". Benefits: list. Schedule: paragraph: "This role offers a hybrid work arrangement with a minimum of three days per week in the office, and can be based in Southfield or Grand Rapids, MI." Check if any duplication: location already in About the role; but we can still include in Schedule. Might be duplicate but okay. Could also put location in About the role and schedule only about hybrid. To avoid duplication, maybe keep location in About the role and schedule only about hybrid. But schedule section should have real specific content; we have hybrid work arrangement. That's enough. Thus About the role includes location and hybrid? Actually About the role currently includes location and hybrid. If we move hybrid to Schedule, we need to adjust About the role to not mention hybrid. Let's re-evaluate. Original About the role paragraph: "We are seeking a talented individual to join our Health team at Marsh People & Investments. This role can be based in Southfield or Grand Rapids, MI and offers a hybrid work arrangement, requiring a minimum of three days per week in the office. As a Health & Benefits Consultant, you will work collaboratively to lead consulting engagements..." We could keep that as About the role, and then Schedule section could be omitted because schedule info already there. But we need to include Schedule only if posting has real specific content; it does, but it's already in About the role. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could keep About the role include location and hybrid, and not create a separate Schedule section. That's fine. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits. No Pay or Schedule. Now ensure we don't repeat job title as heading (we aren't). No Job ID. Now produce HTML. Let's write. About the role paragraph: combine. Responsibilities list: each bullet. Requirements list: each bullet. Skills list: each bullet. Benefits list: each bullet. Make sure to preserve all details exactly as given, no summarizing. Check responsibilities bullets for any missing punctuation; keep as is. Let's copy them exactly: - Participate or lead routine client engagements, including managing overall service delivery, strategy, financial evaluations, plan design, renewal, business placement, benchmarking and other projects associated with underwriting health and welfare insurance, brokering contracts or projecting health care related costs - Lead developing cost projections and evaluation of vendor renewal workups - Thrive and be motivated by an environment that embraces AI and technology-enabled tools - Provide high level financial, contract and/or administrative analysis and review of the work of junior staff - Perform data analysis (example includes but is not limited to reviewing claims and utilization data and look for trends and patterns); may involve use of the Mercer's internal financial tools to develop self-funded claims projections, set rates and model employee cost-sharing scenarios - Review internal compliance and client disclosure requirements, external vendor contracts, summary plan documents (SPD's) and employee communications to ensure alignment with client expectations and legal requirements - Handle day-to-day client contact/management to resolve project-related questions and challenges, and guide junior staff members in client interactions Requirements list: - BA/BS degree - Minimum of 3 years’ experience in identifying, designing, recommending and implementing efficient, innovative business solutions to clients' complex health care benefits challenges - Renowned expertise and industry reputation in the health & benefits field - Client facing experience in a consulting environment - Excellent analytical and mathematical skills, and strategic planning - Exceptional communication and listening skills - Self-starter with the ability to collaborate and lead teams to deliver project objectives - Proficient in Excel and working knowledge of the MS Office suite Skills list (What makes you stand out?): - Enthusiastic, innovative sales and marketing skills with the ability to market organizational strengths successfully - Demonstrated ability to confidently present and communicate effectively to stakeholders - Intellectual curiosity that challenges the status quo Benefits list: - We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work and supportive leaders. - We foster a vibrant and inclusive culture where you can work with talented colleagues to create new solutions and have impact for colleagues, clients and communities. - Our scale enables us to provide a range of career opportunities, as well as benefits and rewards to enhance your well-being. Now produce HTML. We'll output:
