More details about this position

This position is busy and challenginghey, we are honest If you want to do one thing all day and nothing else, then this is definitely not the job for you. You will wear many hats in this position.

It is full of numbers. You will be creating and/or looking at spreadsheets, proposals, benefit summaries and invoices. If it has a number on it and it applies to our clients benefits, you will be looking at it all day long. If you hate numbers and Excel has not become one of your best friends since you learned it, then this is not the position for you. Bottom line is that you cannot do the job if you are not very well-versed in Excelwe are talking formulas, tables, vlookups and pivot tables.

It requires experience in Employee Benefits Administrationno way around this one, we are an Employee Benefits Brokerage oldest in the Mid-West, 40+ years and counting You need to know employee benefits. You need to enjoy servicing clients and learning about employee benefits. You will provide benefit administration support to our clients and their employees.

You need to know how to contact carriers to obtain quotes for new employee benefit plans. We search multiple plans to get the best benefits for our clients. You will be required to obtain the most competitive insurance proposals for clients based on their needs.

You need to know how to draft and submit a request for proposal (RFP) for all health and welfare plans. You also will be responsible for reviewing RFP responses for reasonableness, accuracy and meeting the clients requirements.

You must have a keen attention to detail. It is a huge deal if you type a 9 instead of a 4 when you enter an employees benefit cost into a spreadsheet. You need to be the type of person that can catch their own errors. A real dot every i and cross every t type of person. We expect you to create a final work product that is clear, concise and accurate.

Additional Benefit Service Specialist I responsibilities:
  • You will negotiate with carriers on behalf of clients to ensure the best pricing available for renewals or new business offerings.
  • You will contact clients to complete pre-renewal questionnaires.
  • You will process customer policy change requests
  • You will prepare and create all benefit renewal presentations (Excel spreadsheet) and open enrollment materials for our clients and their employees. You must have exceptional Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat Pro skills.
  • You will research/review various benchmarking sources to create benchmarking reports.
  • You will respond to all inquiries and cancellation requests in 24 hours or less
  • You will perform invoice and census audits
  • You will process new business paperwork.
  • You will handle incoming claims calls from clients.
  • You will focus on exceeding client expectations.
  • You must have the ability to tactfully handle stressful and difficult situations.
  • You must be committed to excellence. We are not just saying that, we truly mean it. Our World-Class Mandate requires us to always strive to be the best in all we do. The Patterson-Bryant way is the World-Class wayend of story.
Are you the new A+ team member that we are looking for?
