Job description
We are currently seeking experienced professionals for a Retirement Services Processor role focused on complex corrections within employer-sponsored retirement plans. This is a full-time, 40-hour-per-week remote assignment supporting high-volume retirement plan administration functions.
Role Overview
This position is responsible for performing and delivering highly routine retirement plan administration work in accordance with established procedures and guidelines. The selected candidate will review, research, and process retirement transactions while ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with regulatory standards.
What the Hiring Manager Is Looking For
Experience Requirements
Minimum 2–3 years of recent retirement services experience (within the last 12 months; ideally 2–4 years total experience).
• Direct experience with employer-funded plans such as 401(k), 403(b), and 457 plans is required.

• Experience handling corrections and complex transaction processing is highly valued.
• Prior experience with major retirement service providers such as Voya, AIG, Empower, TIAA-CREF, or Fidelity is strongly preferred.

• Absenteeism during training will not be tolerated.
• Unauthorized software installations or use of non-company equipment is strictly prohibited.
