Manager, Resource Optimization & Employer Value

At Wellist, we help employers deliver the right resources at the right time, so employees can find meaningful support through every life moment and HR leaders can get more value from the investments they’ve already made.

As a Manager, Resource Optimization & Employer Value, you’ll play a critical role in translating complex employer benefit portfolios into an experience employees can actually understand and use.

You’ll own client resource builds from intake through launch: understanding each employer’s benefits ecosystem, identifying the programs and services available to employees, translating complex materials into clear, actionable content and applying Wellist’s tagging framework so the right resources reach the right people at the right time.

This is detailed, execution-oriented work with meaningful impact. The quality of every build directly affects the employee experience, the value clients realize from Wellist and the insights we can generate about their benefits portfolios.

This role is ideal for a sharp, highly accountable operator who combines exceptional attention to detail with strong judgment and curiosity. You’ll develop deep expertise in the benefit portfolios of leading employers and use that knowledge to help Wellist continuously improve how we deliver value at scale.
