401(k) Plan Administrator – Orange County, CA (Hybrid After Training)
Join a collaborative team at a locally owned TPA with a strong culture and low turnover.

Are you an experienced retirement plan professional looking for a role where your expertise is valued and your voice is heard? Our client, a well-established third-party administrator (TPA) in Orange County, is seeking a 401(k) Plan Administrator to manage a growing caseload of retirement plans and deliver exceptional client service.

About the Role

In this position, you’ll start by managing a smaller caseload, eventually growing to approximately 90 plans, including:

  • A mix of small and audited plans

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Compliance testing
  • Government reporting
  • Direct client communication

You will not be responsible for distributions or plan documents.

This is a client-facing role, so comfort and confidence in phone communication is essential. Our client prioritizes respectful, professional relationships and has a strong stance on maintaining a positive work environment.

Work Environment

  • Initial training: 100% in-office for one week. The employer will cover the cost for the new employee to stay in a hotel.
  • Transition to hybrid: After one week in office training, transition to one day per month in office

What They’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience in 401(k) plan administration at a TPA
  • Strong background in testing, reporting, and client interaction
  • Experience with ASC software is a plus, but not required
  • A proactive communicator who advocates for themselves and collaborates well with others

Why Join This Team?
