Health & Benefits - Technology Architect
About The Position
As the H&B Technology Architect, you will be the architect of our next-generation brokerage platform, responsible for shaping a cohesive, secure, and scalable tech ecosystem. You will design a colleague-first experience that frees our consultants from tactical tasks and equips them with advanced analytics and tools to act as strategic advisors. In parallel, they will create a client-first experience that delivers clarity, insights, and confidence in decision-making. This is both a strategic and hands-on role — setting the blueprint for our ecosystem, guiding vendor selection, overseeing integration, and ensuring our platform becomes a differentiator in the US H&B market.
