Department: ICHRA Operations
Reports To: VP of Operations

Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced and highly organized Client Operations Lead to oversee day-to-day operations for our ICHRA service team. This role is responsible for driving accountability, creating operational clarity, and ensuring high-quality support across enrollments, payments, autopay, onboarding, and ongoing client service.

The ideal candidate can lead a team in a fast-moving environment, manage tickets and escalations through completion, improve workflows, and build structure that allows the team to scale. This person will work cross-functionally with leadership, service, sales/quoting, licensing, carrier partners, ICHRA administration platforms, and internal stakeholders to improve visibility, consistency, and member experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the day-to-day operations of the ICHRA team and own team outcomes, not just individual task completion.

• Manage and resolve escalations by driving issues through to completion, including follow-up, deadline management, and proactive communication.

• Build and maintain clear workflows, SOPs, and process documentation for core ICHRA functions, including:

  • Onboarding / intake

  • Enrollments

  • Payments

  • Autopay

• Oversee support/ticketing operations for ICHRA, routing, ownership, and follow-through.

• Track and report on key operational KPIs, including enrollments, payment issues, autopay status, open cases, cancellations, and other service metrics.

• Run recurring team huddles to review prior-week performance, current priorities, blockers, and accountability items.

• Maintain centralized visibility into teams work through shared trackers, Salesforce case management, dashboards, and reporting tools.

• Support the creation and maintenance of internal, employer-facing, and employee-facing guides, FAQs, and process materials.

• Build knowledge resources that reduce dependency on tribal knowledge and improve self-service for team members and internal partners.

• Partner with leadership to identify process gaps, improve workflows, and support scalable ICHRA operations across multiple systems and carriers.

• Coordinate closely with internal stakeholders on carrier processes, licensing/certification constraints, routing logic, and service expectations.

• Help establish proactive service standards so issues are identified and addressed before they become client/member-facing problems.

What Success Looks Like

• The ICHRA team has clear ownership, visibility, and accountability across daily work.

• Escalations are managed proactively and driven to resolution.

• Core SOPs are documented, usable, and consistently followed.

• Leadership has reliable KPI visibility into enrollments, payments, cases, and operational risks.

• Team members have searchable documentation and clearer guidance for handling common questions and workflows.

• Member/Client service becomes more proactive, consistent, and scalable.

Qualifications

• Experience leading or coordinating an operations, service, account management, or benefits support team.

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and drive follow-through.

• Experience building or improving workflows, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)s, process maps, or operational documentation.

• Comfort working in systems-heavy environments and using shared trackers, CRM tools, or case-management platforms.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• Ability to coach team members, manage accountability, and escalate issues appropriately.

• Experience in health insurance, employee benefits, ICHRA, ACA, or related service operations is strongly preferred.

• Licensing in health & life insurance is a plus

Preferred Experience

• Experience with enrollment/payment workflows across multiple carrier or administrator platforms.

• Experience using Salesforce or similar case-tracking / workflow systems.

• Background in benefits operations, client support, or team leadership within an agency or service environment.

• Familiarity with KPI reporting, dashboard visibility, and continuous process improvement.

Why this role matters

This role is central to building a more proactive, scalable, and visible ICHRA operation. The right person will help strengthen team accountability, improve member/client experience, reduce operational bottlenecks, and create the structure needed for growth.
