Seasonal Role | Work from Home Eligible after Training

The Role We are seeking Benefit Customer Service Representatives to join our team. This hybrid position begins with onsite training and onboarding in San Diego, CA, and transitions to a work-from-home role once eligibility requirements are met. In this role, you will support participants through the enrollment process and assist with updates to their healthcare and/or pension plans while delivering compassionate, high-quality service.

As a Benefit Customer Service Representative, you will have the rewarding opportunity to support plan participants during enrollment and when making updates to their health care and/or pension benefits. This position gives you the ability to truly make an impact—providing guidance, clarity, and peace of mind to participants navigating complex benefit plans.

You’ll spend your day assisting customers primarily by phone, with opportunities to support chat and messaging as you gain experience. We are committed to high-quality service and allow you the time needed on each interaction to ensure members feel cared for and supported.

This is a seasonal role with potential for long-term opportunities. Many of our supervisors and managers started as seasonal representatives—and top performers may be invited to transition into full-time roles.

Participate in ongoing training and team meetings to ensure service excellence.

Perform additional duties as assigned.
