If you're a competitive, consultative closer who thrives in a fast-moving environment and loves helping businesses succeed, this is the perfect time to join a high-growth SaaS company that's redefining what payroll software should be.

The Role

As a Benefits Consultant, you will drive new revenue by identifying, prospecting, and closing sales of comprehensive employee benefit plans (medical, dental, vision, 401(k), voluntary benefits) to small and mid-sized business (SMB) clients. Leveraging our core payroll platform, you will serve as a trusted advisor, helping business leaders design competitive, cost-effective benefit strategies that attract and retain top talent.

What You'll Do
  • Prospect, pitch, and close new employee benefits business to meet or exceed monthly and quarterly revenue targets.
  • Partner with internal Payroll Account Executives to identify upsell opportunities within the existing payroll client base (30,000+ businesses).
  • Conduct deep-dive discovery meetings with HR leaders and business owners to evaluate current benefit structures and present tailored, competitive solutions.
  • Collaborate with underwriting partners and insurance carriers to build tailored benefit packages.
  • Ensure smooth onboarding for new accounts by working alongside the client implementation and account management teams.
  • Stay ahead of industry trends, state/federal compliance regulations (e.g., ACA, ERISA), and competitive dynamics to position our platform effectively.
  • Perform other related duties as assigned.

What You Bring
  • Exceptional negotiation, presentation, and interpersonal skills, attention to detail, strong problem-solving capabilities, and clear written/verbal communication skills.
  • Adaptable and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, startup-like environment.
  • Team-oriented, resilient, proactive and solutions-focused.
  • Customer-service mindset: clear communication, patience, and professionalism when working with stakeholders.
  • Ability to manage multiple requests and prioritize effectively.
  • Must be highly organized, dependable and self-disciplined with a strong work ethic.

Education and Experience
  • 3+ years of successful B2B consultative sales experience in employee benefits brokerage, PEO, or payroll services.
  • Active Life & Health Insurance license required (or required within 30 days of hire).
  • Proven history of meeting or exceeding sales quotas and managing a multi-stage sales pipeline.
  • Familiarity with payroll integrations, HRIS, or benefits administration technology platforms.
