The Administrator will ensure compliance with related laws and regulations for a full suite of health and welfare and retirement programs.  S/he will communicate with CI’s benefits vendors, conduct benefits audits, pay benefits bills, and manage the US fringe benefits budget.  The Administrator will also manage leave and disability claims, and coordinate the Health Claims Review Committee and the 403b Investment Committee.  S/he will ensure that CI’s benefit plans are communicated appropriately to all staff and that all plan documentation is updated and maintained.  While this position is focused primarily on US benefits, the Administrator will manage our expat health and welfare plan, our International Retirement Savings Plan, and our global medical evacuation program.
