Role Description

United Benefit Pensions, (UBP), a Strongpoint Partner, is seeking a skilled Retirement Plan Administrator who will take full ownership of a caseload of defined contribution retirement plans. The right candidate will be confident in administering 401(k) and cross-tested plans from start to finish, have a strong command of compliance testing, and possess a detail-oriented, client-focused approach. This position offers an excellent opportunity for a self-starter who thrives in a remote work environment and is excited to grow with a firm that values innovation and excellence in client service.

At UBP, you’ll join a team that values flexibility, trust, and balance just as much as technical excellence.

We’ve built a culture focused on getting great work done without sacrificing your personal time: no weekends, an extra day off before Thanksgiving, and the option to work fully remote or in-office. If you enjoy collaborating with colleagues, partnering with clients, and contributing to a team that truly respects your time and expertise, you’ll feel right at home here.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a fully remote position and can be performed from anywhere within the United States. We welcome candidates from all U.S. time zones; however, due to the primary locations of our partners and clients, preference will be given to those in the Central & Eastern time zone(s).
