Manager, Employee Benefits & ACA Compliance Services

Remote - Alpharetta, GA

Lead the team. Own the execution. Deliver what matters.

If you’ve built or run benefits compliance operations—and you’re ready to own outcomes, lead a team, and scale a service—this is your role.

At Decisely, Compliance Services is not a back-office function. It’s a client-facing, revenue-generating service line that helps businesses navigate ACA, ERISA, and benefits compliance with confidence.

We’re looking for a leader who can bring structure, accountability, and execution discipline to a fast-growing, high-impact function.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Lead & Develop the Team

  • Manage and coach a team of Compliance Consultants
  • Set clear expectations, drive accountability, and elevate performance
  • Build a team that delivers consistently and confidently

Own Daily Execution

  • Run operations: workflows, queues, SLAs, and priorities
  • Ensure work is accurate, on time, and scalable
  • Step in when needed—this is a hands-on leadership role

Deliver Client-Facing Compliance

  • Serve as a senior point of contact for complex compliance matters
  • Support delivery of:
    • ACA tracking & 1094/1095 filings
    • Form 5500, ERISA documentation, PCORI
    • ICHRA-related compliance support
  • Translate regulations into clear, actionable guidance for clients

Strengthen & Scale the Function

  • Identify gaps, risks, and inefficiencies
  • Improve workflows and build repeatable processes
  • Support growth of a $1M+ compliance services business

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:

  • Work is delivered accurately, on time, and at scale
  • The team operates with ownership and accountability
  • Escalations are resolved quickly and confidently
  • Processes become more efficient and less reactive
  • Clients trust Decisely as a true compliance partner

WHAT YOU BRING:

  • Experience inemployee benefits, ACA reporting, or compliance services
  • Strong working knowledge of:
    • ACA (1094/1095)
    • ERISA / Form 5500 (preferred)
  • Experience leading a team or owning operational outcomes
  • Ability to manage high-volume, deadline-driven work
  • Confidence in client-facing situations and escalations

You don’t need to be a lawyer, BUT you do need to be someone who can own execution and lead outcomes.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT:

  • You’re not inheriting a perfect system—you’re helping build and refine it
  • You’re not just managing—you’re owning a function
  • You’ll operate at the intersection of:
    • compliance
    • client delivery
    • operations
  • You’ll have visibility into a high-growth, revenue-generating business line

WHY DECISELY?

We’re building a company where:

  • execution matters
  • ownership is expected
  • and great people do meaningful work

We move fast, solve real problems, and invest in people who want to make an impact.
