Why Take This Payroll and Benefits Coordinator?

Growth Opportunity: This role is an entry point for growth within the HR team. The dealership's HR Manager was promoted from this position, and the dealership consistently promotes employees from within.

• Benefits Administration Experience: Familiarity with self-insured benefit plans is beneficial, and you should be comfortable administering employee benefits.
• Strong Communication Skills: As the Payroll and Benefits Coordinator, you will be the point of contact for employees, handling potentially difficult conversations, so strong interpersonal skills are essential.
• Stable Job History: Our client is seeking someone who is looking for a long-term fit with opportunities for career growth within the organization.

Payroll and Benefits Coordinator Compensation and Benefits:

• Salary Range: $55K - $65K based on experience.
