Job Title: Benefit Counselor

Company: OneHealth

Location: Old Bridge, NJ, Hybrid, or Remote

Role Overview

OneHealth is seeking a knowledgeable and professional Benefit Counselor to join our growing team. This full-time role can be based in-office, hybrid, or fully remote. The ideal candidate has voluntary benefits experience, is licensed in life and health insurance, and is ready to thrive in a structured, consistent, and highly supportive environment.

You will guide employees through their benefit options for one of our two large national clients. This is a scheduled, appointment-based position – no prospecting, no lead chasing, and no rotating product menus. You’ll focus on clear, educational benefit presentations to employees choosing between accident, hospital indemnity, disability, and life insurance products. This is not high-pressure sales. It is a process-driven, consultative role where your ability to explain and guide is valued most.

This opportunity is ideal for experienced enrollers seeking stability, structure, and consistent access to high-volume opportunities.
