Monitor industry trends, regulatory developments, and emerging employee benefits risks to provide proactive guidance and consultative support to clients.
Contribute to the growth and development of Scott's Employee Benefits Due Diligence practice through thought leadership, process improvement, and client relationship development.
Perform other duties as assigned.
