Director of Enterprise Risk, Insurance

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of Giga’s performance bond strategy from start to finish — structuring and negotiating with sureties to meet the requirements of lenders and customers on active deals.

• Develop and maintain relationships with insurance brokers and surety providers, presenting Giga’s risk profile to the market and negotiating terms for each project individually.

• Establish and enforce bonding requirements for subcontractors, assessing what percentage of subcontracted work must be bonded for each project.

• Adjust Giga’s corporate and project-level insurance programs as the company engages in larger, higher-risk projects.

• Innovate solutions when Giga’s balance sheet cannot accommodate the bond size required for a deal — creating alternative approaches to ensure contract progression.

• Collaborate closely with Legal, Finance, and Growth teams to integrate bonding and insurance requirements into deal structuring from the outset, rather than post-contract signing.

• Provide guidance to executive leadership on risk exposure, market dynamics, and what can realistically be achieved with sureties and insurers.

• Prepare to build and lead a team as Giga’s enterprise risk function expands.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 7 years of experience in performance bonds/surety, insurance, or risk management.

• Extensive, hands-on knowledge of the underwriting, pricing, and structuring of performance bonds.

• Proven experience managing broker and surety relationships and taking a company’s risk profile to the market.

• Solid understanding of corporate and project-level insurance programs.

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business Administration, Law, Construction Management, or a related field.

• Ability to make decisions with limited information in a fast-paced environment that exceeds typical risk and insurance standards.

🏝️ Benefits

• Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance

• Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup

• 401(k) with 4% employer match

• Unlimited PTO

• Parental leave

• Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)

• Commuter benefits

• Monthly team onsites where all offices gather in person to collaborate
