The role operates as the execution arm of the C&B function, translating benefits strategy into a consistent, error-free NIITian experience.

- Maintain benefits data accuracy and integrity across HRIS platforms, ensuring employee and dependent records are current, reconciled, and audit‑compliant.
- Track, analyze, and drive benefits utilization, identifying trends and improvement opportunities.
- Manage daily vendor interactions, escalate unresolved issues with complete documentation, and track closure against defined timelines.
- Monitor and report vendor SLA performance (claims TAT, query resolution, data accuracy), escalating deviations with evidence‑based corrective action recommendations.
- Compile and maintain historical claims data, utilization dashboards, and cost analyses to support annual renewals and re‑tendering exercises.
- Support operational rollout of the Rewards & Recognition platform, including NIITian onboarding, manager enablement, and first‑level support.
- Maintain recognition data and generate monthly adoption and utilization reports, including budget consumption by function and manager.
- Ensure all benefits enrolments, changes, and transactions adhere to statutory requirements, policy timelines, and audit standards.
- Produce monthly Benefits MIS, including claims ratios, utilization trends, and spend analysis by benefit category.
- Serve as the first point of contact for NIITians on benefits, insurance, and reimbursements, resolving queries within SLAs and escalating complex cases with clear recommendations.
- Develop and deliver benefits communication collateral (onboarding guides, renewals, claim process documentation) in partnership with HR Communications.
- Conduct benefits awareness and open enrollment sessions, enabling NIITians to clearly understand and effectively utilize their benefit entitlements.
