Candidates who stand out can point to specific outcomes they drove, such as open enrollment redesigns, vendor renegotiations, or compliance improvements. Expertise in ERISA, ACA, COBRA, and leave administration is expected, and experience mentoring junior staff or leading cross-functional projects gives a meaningful edge.
