Why This Role Matters
Why This Role Matters
The Senior Benefits Data & Operations Analyst ensures the operational integrity of The Washington Post’s data and processes. From auditing data across HRIS and vendor systems to supporting invoice validation, this role underpins our employees’ confidence in the systems that safeguard their health and financial security. You’ll bring rigor to the details and insight to the processes, helping create a seamless, accurate, and proactive benefits experience for every employee.
What Motivates You
You’re energized by making systems work smarter and more reliably. You find satisfaction in catching discrepancies before they become issues, organizing processes with clarity, and seeing the direct impact of your work in the smooth delivery of benefits to colleagues. You enjoy turning raw data into actionable insight and supporting cross-functional teams with precision and consistency. You value well-run operations and take pride in making complex systems more efficient, transparent, and accurate.
How You'll Support The Mission
Audit & Reconciliation Perform routine audits and data reconciliation across HRIS, payroll, and vendor platforms to ensure the accuracy of benefits records and transactions. Identify and resolve discrepancies and work with internal teams to improve data integration quality. Vendor Invoice Support Review and validate benefits vendor invoices using internal audit outputs and enrollment data. Support timely and accurate invoice approval processes in collaboration with finance and procurement teams. Process Documentation & Operational Controls Develop and maintain current documentation for key compensation, benefits, and global mobility processes and procedures. Track compliance and audit requirements by maintaining detailed records and supporting internal control standards. Data Analysis & Process Improvement Monitor key operational metrics and trends related to total rewards data or processing delays. Evaluate manual tasks for automation potential and propose workflow improvements that drive efficiency. Benefits Communications & Event Support Contribute to drafting, formatting, and distributing employee-facing communications. Support the execution of benefits-related events such as open enrollment, wellness webinars, and Q&A sessions.
The Skills And Experience You Bring
Required:
Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, Information Systems, or a related field—or equivalent combination of education and experience. 5-7 years of experience supporting benefits operations, data reconciliation, or systems-based processes. Proficiency in Excel (e.g., pivot tables, formulas, audits). Experience with HRIS systems and reporting tools. Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
Preferred:
Familiarity with process automation or workflow optimization tools. Experience with process analysis and documentation. Understanding of employee benefits compliance (ACA, COBRA, ERISA).
Collaboration makes us stronger. That’s why our offices are designed with open layouts, modern technology, and easy access to transportation. With certain exceptions for newsgathering and business travel, we work on-site five days a week.

Wherever you are in your life or career, The Washington Post offers comprehensive and inclusive benefits for every step of your journey:
Competitive medical, dental and vision coverage Company-paid pension and 401(k) match Three weeks of vacation and up to three weeks of paid sick leave Nine paid holidays and two personal days 20 weeks paid parental leave for any new parent Robust mental health resources Backup care and caregiver concierge services Gender affirming services Pet insurance Free Post digital subscription Leadership and career development programs
