Remote – U.S. & Canada Only | Full-Time | $65,000–$80,000 USD

We’re not hiring aPeople Ops Specialist to “keep the inbox clean.” We’re hiring a builder—someone who owns U.S. benefits end-to-end, spots what’s missing before anyone asks, and makes the system better every month.

Level Agency is looking for a mid–senior People Operations Specialist with deep expertise in U.S. benefits administration. You’ll be the operational engine behind our Medical, Dental, Vision, Retirement, Life, Disability, Pet insurance, and perk programs—partnering closely with Payroll to ensure deductions are accurate and compliant, and ensuring our benefits experience is smooth, clear, and employee-first.

We’ll prioritize candidates who have supported benefits in Canada and/or Mexico, but this role is primarily focused on the U.S.

This role isn’t for everyone.

You’ll thrive here if:

You can run benefits without being micromanaged
You see broken workflows and fix them (instead of tolerating them)
You’re comfortable interpreting state-specific rules and translating them into clean processes
You have strong judgment, high follow-through, and a “figure it out” mindset

You’ll struggle here if:

You need a checklist from someone else to get started
You avoid ambiguity or ownership
You rely on vendors/brokers to do the thinking for you

About Level Agency

We’re an AI-powered performance marketing agency—built for precision, designed to scale, and powered by a scientific mindset. At Level, we blend strategy, media, creative, and machine intelligence to deliver outcomes that matter. Every time. At scale.

We’ve been named one of Pittsburgh’s Best Places to Work and an Inc. 500 Fastest-Growing Company. Our team is fully remote, deeply collaborative, and relentlessly driven.

Your Role (and Impact)

As our People Operations Specialist (Benefits-Focused), you’ll own the day-to-day administration and continuous improvement of our U.S. benefits and perks programs.

You will:

Administer U.S. benefits programs end-to-end: Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k)/Retirement, Life Insurance, Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, Pet insurance, and more.
Own benefits lifecycle events: new hire enrollments, qualifying life events, terminations, and annual open enrollment
Partner tightly with Payroll to set up and maintain accurate deductions in the payroll processor, troubleshoot discrepancies, and ensure clean reconciliations
Manage ongoing vendor/broker coordination and serve as a reliable point of contact for escalations and issue resolution
Ensure benefits practices and administration align with U.S. federal and state requirements (and help identify when we need external guidance)
Support people programs and perks administration like PTO processes, WFH stipends, and other employee experience initiatives
Maintain strong documentation: SOPs, employee-facing guides, and internal workflows that make benefits “easy to navigate”
Identify gaps, propose improvements, and implement changes—without waiting for permission

Bonus / Priority:

Experience supporting benefits administration in Canada and/or Mexico (in addition to U.S.)

Requirements

You Bring:

4–8+ years of People Operations / HR Generalist experience with significant U.S. benefits ownership
Hands-on administration experience across core U.S. benefits (Medical/Dental/Vision/401k/Life/STD/LTD)
Proven experience collaborating with Payroll on deductions, audits, reconciliations, and issue resolution
Strong working knowledge of U.S. benefits compliance basics and state-by-state nuances (and the confidence to research what you don’t know)
A self-starter mindset: you proactively find what needs attention and follow through to completion
High integrity and discretion when handling sensitive employee data

Preferred Experience:

Benefits exposure in Canada and/or Mexico
Experience supporting a distributed/remote workforce across multiple states
Familiarity with benefits renewal cycles, broker relationships, and open enrollment project management

AI Expectations

At Level, proficiency with AI tools is a core part of your role—not a nice-to-have. Your success depends not only on your functional expertise, but also on your ability to actively integrate AI into how you work.

You are expected to:

Use tools like ChatGPT (and others) to improve documentation, employee FAQs, process mapping, and operational efficiency
Share prompts, workflows, and learnings to elevate the broader team
Treat AI as a force multiplier for clarity and speed—not a crutch

Driven by Truth: We challenge assumptions and follow the data.
