Job Title: Benefits Administrator

Type: Contract - 6 Months

Location is flexible. Can be in Westminster office or can be remote. Generally, need the person to work normal business hours (M-F, 8-5) but there is some flexibility (if they need every Tuesday afternoon off or they need to work 7-3, that’s fine). As we discussed, I envision this being 35-40 hours per week.

Pay: $29.00-$31.00/hr
