  • Establish and manage a Return-to-Work program for work-related injuries.
  • Review Certificates of Insurance to ensure contractors maintain proper coverage.
  • Recommend risk solutions (insurance, safety / security policies, business continuity, recovery measures).
  • Set up and coordinate a company-wide Incident Review Panel and serve as a panel member.
  • Review bids / proposals to confirm contractor services are properly insured.
  • Provide technical guidance and coaching on risk policies, practices, and procedures.
  • Interpret loss data, prepare reports, recommend corrective actions, and maintain state-required forms / records.
  • Maintain regular contact with TPAs and legal defense teams; review cases and ensure deadlines are met.
  • Serve as primary point of contact to collect critical information, identify SMEs, and participate in depositions as needed.
  • Participate in insurance renewals and coverage reviews; present recommendations to leadership.
  • What We’re Looking For

    Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Risk Management, Accounting, or Finance preferred; or equivalent experience / training.
  • 5–10 years of claims management (Auto, GL, Workers’ Comp) and safety experience.
  • Technical expertise in risk / insurance practices (claims, underwriting, brokering, or engineering training).
  • Strong understanding of property & casualty insurance concepts / terminology.
  • Business acumen with experience in large-organization claims / risk management or within an insurer, TPA, or brokerage.
  • Leadership skills : business partnering, negotiation, communication; proven project management.
  • Growth / digital mindset; ability to leverage technology to improve efficiency.
  • Integrity and sound judgment aligned with company values, policies, and regulations.
  • Valid driver’s license.
  • Preferred

  • Experience with self-insured organizations.
  • Supervisory experience in claims.
  • Professional certifications such as CPCS, CCA, CICP, CWCP, or ARM highly desired.
