Multi-employer pension and health trust fund for motion picture industry unions
MPI administers pension and health benefits for 40+ unions and guilds in motion picture production, operating as a nonprofit trust fund established by collective bargaining agreements. The tech stack is heavily Microsoft-dependent (Dynamics 365, Power BI, Fabric) with MongoDB and SQL Server for data work, reflecting a traditional enterprise benefits administration posture. Hiring is accelerating across healthcare and HR roles at manager and senior levels, signaling operational strain around complex retirement benefits processing and ERISA compliance—areas where system accuracy and product management have become visible internal pain points.
