The Association of California Water Agencies Joint Powers Insurance Authority – ACWA JPIA for short – is a partnership of water agencies dedicated to avoiding the high cost of commercial insurance.
Formed in 1979, JPIA is not an insurance agency or carrier. It is a risk-sharing pool for property, liability, workers’ compensation and employee benefits, which allows for more rate stability, broader coverage and expanded benefits and services than private insurance.
Our offerings are unique to the water industry; member agencies themselves – their directors and managers – have selected and refined the various programs. Only agencies that demonstrate a commitment to effective risk management programs are accepted in to JPIA.
ACWA JPIA is an award-winning risk pool serving California’s public water agencies. We are proud of our supportive, collaborative workplace and are excited to welcome a new Employee Benefits Manager to our Employee Benefits team in Roseville, CA.
We're looking for a relationship-focused leader who is passionate about employee benefits and helping public agencies succeed. The ideal candidate brings expertise in benefits administration, strong business and financial acumen, and a talent for building trust with members, vendors, and colleagues. They are equally comfortable analyzing program performance, leading a team, presenting to boards and committees, and developing creative solutions that enhance the value and effectiveness of employee benefits programs.
What You’ll Do:
• Lead and develop a collaborative Employee Benefits team committed to exceptional member service.
• Shape the future of employee benefits programs through strategic planning, program development, and financial analysis.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with member agencies, brokers, consultants, carriers, and vendors.
• Provide expert guidance on benefits administration, compliance, and emerging industry trends.
Why You’ll Love Working Here:
• Competitive Salary: The JPIA anticipates hiring at $153,496, which represents the top of the first third of the established salary range, $131,568 - $197,353.
