    About Benbase
    Benbase is reimagining benefits consulting for the modern era. In an industry dominated by outdated processes, spreadsheet chaos, and reactive service models, we're building something better—a benefits brokerage that fuses deep expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver strategic, transparent, and exceptional client experiences.

    Our clients want a strategic advisor who understands their business, leverages data and technology to inform decision-making, and helps them leverage benefits as a competitive advantage to attract and retain talent.

    Backed by our commitment to innovation and operational excellence, Benbase is rapidly scaling. We're among the first brokerages to integrate AI-powered tools, automation, and modern workflows into every aspect of benefits consulting—helping HR teams take control of renewals, simplify strategy, and empower employees to get real value from their benefits.

    Learn more about our core values.

    About the Role
    We're hiring a Senior Account Manager to own strategic client relationships and lead the delivery of exceptional benefits consulting. This role is ideal for someone who can balance hands-on execution with strategic consulting—serving as a trusted advisor. Leading clients through renewals, navigating complex benefits challenges, and delivering innovative solutions tailored to each client's unique needs.

    At Benbase, you'll be at the forefront of transforming how benefits consulting works. You'll have access to cutting-edge AI-powered tools and automation that amplify your strategic impact. You'll work with ambitious, growth-focused clients who value innovation and expect their benefits partner to be a true extension of their leadership team. And you'll play a critical role in mentoring our Account Management team, shaping service delivery standards, and building Benbase's future as we scale.

    This is a chance to do the work you love—building deep client relationships, solving complex challenges, and delivering creative strategies—while helping us dismantle the outdated practices that keep this industry stuck. At Benbase, you get to be the change that makes benefits smarter, simpler, and more strategic. 

    What You'll Do
    Client Leadership & Strategy
    Lead a portfolio of 20-40 complex clients through the full benefits lifecycle—from renewal strategy and carrier negotiation to compliance management and open enrollment. Design innovative solutions informed by data and market trends, foster executive-level relationships, and serve as the trusted advisor.

    Execution & Deliverables
    Develop and present strategic deliverables, including renewal presentations, financial reporting, member education, and compliance management. Collaborate cross-functionally to leverage technology, streamline workflows, and enhance client experience.

    Team Development & Innovation
    Mentor Account Managers through active coaching and knowledge sharing. Partner with leadership to refine workflows, implement process improvements, and drive service delivery excellence.

    What You'll Bring
    Foundation: 7+ years benefits consulting experience | 5+ years independently managing accounts | Active life & health insurance license | Bachelor's degree or equivalent

    Expertise: Deep knowledge of benefit products, funding structures, and compliance | Proficient with benefits platforms and AI/automation tools | Strong analytical and financial acumen

    Capabilities: Strategic consulting and problem-solving | Exceptional communication (executive presentations, public speaking) | Executive relationship building with track record of retention | Detail-oriented with commitment to accuracy | Self-motivated with strong independent judgment | Mentorship and informal leadership | Adaptability and enthusiasm for innovation | Spanish fluency is a big plus

    This is a remote position but CA-based candidates + candidates who bring recent experience supporting California-based employer groups of 50-500 employees are highly desirable.

    Bilingual (English/Spanish) preferred; fluency in Spanish is highly desirable.
