Manager, Benefits Support – Fully Remote – Work from anywhere

Remote, EMEA, United Kingdom, Ireland

Who we are

Remote work is one of the great equalizers of our time, allowing people to secure employment opportunities from companies around the world, no matter where they were born or where they live. Omnipresent does just that.

We are a customer-focused global employment services partner that can help companies grow their teams in 155 countries and territories around the world. How do we do that? Well, through our SaaS platform, OmniPlatform. We help companies (big or small) deal with the complexities involved with hiring global teams remotely, by managing employee onboarding through to offboarding, including legal and compliance, payroll, expenses, and health and benefits.

We also practice what we preach! We are a fully remote company which means we have no head office. Our team of more than 300 people is located in more than 45 countries and territories around the world. This means you can work from anywhere. We provide benefits and support in any global location just as we would for our clients and their remote teams. Our company has a flat structure which means accountability and taking initiative towards your everyday tasks that help further our ambitious company goals.

At a time when remote work is exploding, we’re growing our team to help make global remote work a reality for people everywhere.

What will you do?

  • As the Manager of Benefits Support, you’ll be our most senior dedicated Benefits Support hire, coming on board to help build this team, implement processes and structure, meaning that you will be scoping and building our Benefits Support processes as we scale and building the right team to work with and around you.
  • You will be a key part of the Benefits Team as we grow; overseeing, improving and extending fundamental customer value through benefits support actions and related processes. You will be involved in extending strategic value while leveraging lean processes and technology in ensuring continued delivery of world class outcomes for our clients. Benefits are important internally, but the primary objective is to offer external clients a way to access these rewards as a complementary part of their remote employment offering.
  • The key thing here is that you know we are a Series B stage rapidly growing start up where we are just now identifying what Benefits Support will look like. You won’t just come in and plug into a well-oiled support machine but you will be tasked with taking the lead in building this structure and shaping how this part of Benefits adds value. The details of the job will look like this:
    • Build processes for managing and maintaining service level expectations in regards to our response time and quality of our customer benefits queries.
    • Own Benefits Support execution and manage the support queue. Ensure delivery on our benefits commitments including day-to-day service levels, customer experience, quality, responsiveness, and compliance measures.
    • Assist in rolling out software that we will use as a foundation for our support offering and that encourages automation, with personalisation.
    • Work closely with every other department to input into product, customer onboarding, sales, legal, payroll, and that supports both our company goals by using feedback from the market to drive improvements and provide insights.
    • Act as a first line for any escalations from the Benefits Team, provide benefits related support to other teams across the business
    • Coach and mentor the Benefits Support team. Assist the Benefits Team overall with training, materials, FAQs, etc.
    • Act as a member of the Benefits Leadership team and work on joint projects across disciplines. In this team, collaborate to set a strategic vision and roadmap for Benefits Support.
    • Establish a QA process for enhancing our support offering and improving our service quality. This may also include compliance and taxation questions, etc.

  • Home office setup: It should go without saying that we will provide you with the equipment you need to work from home in the same way you would if you were in an office. Prefer a PC to a Mac? No problem. You choose what you need. We’ll give you a budget to get all the infrastructure that enables you to work effectively wherever you are, including broadband costs.
  • Education budget: Your development should be a continuous conversation with your manager and they will support you in choosing what you need whether that’s accreditations, workshops, or formal degree programs or courses. Important is that you update your Individual Development Plan with any kind of education you take, so that you make sure that you apply the knowledge you have gained in theory, and the learned information will stay with you long term.

We believe remote working is a great equalizer and we practice what we preach. Inclusivity is fundamental to our mission and we are committed to conscious inclusion. We believe in the potential of everyone; regardless of race, religion or belief, ethnic origin, different physical ability, family structure, socio-economics, age, nationality or citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
