About Take Command
Take Command is a start-up on a mission to improve the healthcare system, starting with health insurance. Pragmatically speaking, we help employers reimburse employees for individual insurance instead of offering a traditional one-size-fits-all group plan. We believe this model can empower employees (when they have the right support) to be savvy healthcare consumers and have a transformative impact on the entire healthcare system.
Let’s be honest—health insurance is usually a confusing, frustrating, and even emotional experience for people. We want to fix that with a new model, great technology, and a superior user experience. We have made a great start, but we need your help to fully realize our long-term vision.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Manager of Benefits Consultant Enablement to own how brokerages learn, adopt, and successfully market and sell (Take Command) ICHRA.
This role sits within Marketing but operates at the center of growth, sales, and business development, turning education into pipeline and long-term benefits consultant advocacy. You will be positioned as the internal ICHRA SME - you'll train internal teams on ICHRA and provide market updates to ensure the internal team is up to date on all things ICHRA. You will be considered the Take Command ICHRA Professor.
You will design and deliver training programs (ICHRA 101 → advanced “2.0” sessions), help develop and own our ICHRA Readiness certification, and help move benefits consultants through our flywheel, from awareness to evangelist.
This is a high-impact, external-facing role for someone who loves presenting, building relationships, and becoming a true subject matter expert.
What You’ll Do
Own Benefits Consultant Training & Education
- Develop and deliver scalable training programs:
- ICHRA 101 (foundational education)
- Product training and platform walkthroughs
- Advanced “ICHRA 2.0” selling and strategy sessions
- Host live and virtual sessions (webinars, workshops, in-person events)
- Build a repeatable curriculum and content library benefits consultant can access on-demand
Lead ICHRA Readiness Certification
- Own and evolve the ICHRA Readiness Certification Program
- Define what “certified” means and ensure benefits consultants are equipped to sell confidently
- Track certification progress and tie to benefits consultant performance and pipeline
Drive Benefits Consultant Funnel Management
- Partner with Growth and Business Development to:
- Move business consultants through the marketing funnel Learn → Design → Onboard → Active → Evangelist
- Identify friction points in the benefits consultant journey and close gaps through enablement
- Use training as a lever to increase activation, conversion, and retention
Partner Cross-Functionally With:
- Sales (to support deals and enable benefits consultant success)
- Business Development (to accelerate benefits consultant acquisition and engagement)
- Marketing (to align messaging, campaigns, and content)
- Support key initiatives like webinars, roadshows, and partner events
Be the Voice of the Benefits Consultant
- Build strong, trusted relationships with benefits consultants
- Bring feedback into product, marketing, and GTM strategy
- Act as a visible, credible ICHRA expert in the market
What You Bring
- 5–10+ years in benefits consultant (broker) relations, enablement, training, or benefits consulting
- Strong understanding of ICHRA, group benefits, or health insurance landscape
- Exceptional presentation skills—you’re comfortable leading a room (virtual or in-person)
- Ability to simplify complex topics into clear, compelling narratives
- Proven relationship builder who can earn trust quickly
- Experience working cross-functionally with sales, marketing, and partnerships
- Builder mindset—you don’t just run programs, you create and evolve them
What Makes You Stand Out
- Experience training or enabling benefits consultants
- Background in ICHRA, HRA, or alternative benefits models
- Track record of tying enablement efforts to pipeline or revenue impact
- Comfort operating in a fast-moving, high-growth environment
Why This Role Matters
This role is critical to scaling ICHRA adoption. Benefits consultants are our most important channel—and their success is our success.
You won’t just train benefits consultants—you’ll help shape how ICHRA is understood, sold, and adopted across the market.
Compensation: $140,000-$145,000 base salary + bonus
