ABOUT THE ROLE

The Risk Manager, Insurance Programs, is a strategic leader responsible for identifying, evaluating, and mitigating hazard risks across the enterprise.

  • Data Intelligence: Oversee the collection and validation of global underwriting data.
  • Broker & Market Relations: Act as the primary point of contact for property and specialty brokers. Monitor carrier financial stability via S&P/Moody’s and conduct deep-dive policy wording reviews to eliminate "silent" risks or coverage gaps.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Interface with Manufacturing, Legal, and Safety teams to integrate risk-aware behaviors into daily operations. Provide internal training on risk trends and emerging threats.
  • Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving and adhering to health, safety and environmental policies in all work environments and areas. Promote a culture of safety and exhibit these behaviors.
