POSITION SUMMARY

The Client Relations Specialist I provides responsive service to retirement plan participants and plan sponsors, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and a positive client experience. This role plays a key part in resolving operational issues, answering account-related questions, and facilitating routine plan interactions. By collaborating with internal teams and maintaining high service standards, the position supports HIS Envoys Group's mission of advancing Biblical stewardship through excellence in client care and operational integrity.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
