• You will work with clients to gather data needed to create their reviews.
• You will help clients implement tasks that result from the reviews.
• Our team works closely to keep us aligned with how the clients are doing, what is being done for clients, and how to manage the workflow through weekly meetings and ongoing check-ins.
• You will actively participate in client meetings and be responsible for presenting your work, taking notes and following up on tasks.
• As you grow in the position, you will be responsible for higher level problem solving.
• We manage some business 401k plans – you will help with the 401k administration and educating new enrollees about their 401k plan.
