About this role

Voleon is a technology company that applies state-of-the-art AI and machine learning techniques to real-world problems in finance. For nearly two decades, we have led our industry and worked at the frontier of applying AI/ML to investment management. We have become a multibillion-dollar asset manager, and we have ambitious goals for the future.

  

Your colleagues will include internationally recognized experts in artificial intelligence and machine learning research as well as highly experienced finance and technology professionals.  The people who shape our company come from other backgrounds, including concert music performances, humanitarian aid, opera singing, sports writing, and BMX racing. You will be part of a team that loves to succeed together.


In addition to our enriching and collegial working environment, we offer highly competitive compensation and benefits packages, technology talks by our experts, a beautiful modern office, daily catered lunches, and more.


As a Benefits Administrator, you will manage the day-to-day administration of employee benefit programs and serve as a key liaison between internal HR systems, benefits vendors, insurance carriers, and employees. Reporting to the Sr. Payroll & Benefits Analyst, you will be responsible for ensuring accurate enrollment, timely processing of life events, system configuration, carrier reconciliation, and compliance-related activities. You will also play a key role in helping employees understand and fully utilize their benefits, balancing hands-on support with appropriate boundaries. This role offers broad exposure across benefits operations, systems, and program design, with opportunities to contribute creatively to the evolution of Voleon’s total rewards offering. This role is a means to make a difference: by delivering accurate, thoughtful, and innovative benefits administration, you will directly support employee retention, engagement, and Voleon’s ability to scale effectively.
