Serve as a Tier 3 resource for employee benefits inquiries, providing clear and timely guidance on plan provisions, eligibility, and enrollment processes.

This role has been categorized as an Office position. Office employees regularly work at the Zillow India office for approximately 80 to 100 percent of their time each month. Employees must live within a reasonable commuting distance of the office. Zillow has not defined a reasonable distance, and expects employees will use judgment in determining this for themselves and understand the implications re: time commitment and cost of daily commute.

In addition to a competitive base pay, employees in this role are eligible for incentive compensation subject to applicable laws and relevant Zillow policies. Actual amounts will vary depending on experience, performance and location.

Who you are

Detail-oriented and process-driven. You take ownership of complex, multi-step processes and execute them with precision and consistency.
Proactive and accountable. You identify issues before they become problems, escalate clearly with documented findings, and follow through to resolution.
Collaborative. You work seamlessly across time zones, building trust with U.S. counterparts through reliable communication and dependable follow-through.
Analytically minded. You're comfortable working with data across HRIS and vendor platforms — pulling reports, spotting anomalies, and organizing findings clearly.
Effective in Cloud HQ. You thrive in a remote, asynchronous environment, communicate clearly in writing, and build trust without in-person presence.
Curious about the why. You want to understand the context behind the work, not just complete tasks — and you ask questions when something doesn't add up.
