About the Role
HUB International's Risk Services Division (RSD) partners with clients across a broad range of industries to turn risk management from a cost center into a competitive advantage. As a Senior Risk Consultant based in Oregon, you will be the primary strategic advisor to a diverse book of clients - diagnosing complex exposures, engineering customized solutions, and delivering measurable results that protect their people, property, and bottom line.
This role is built for a consultant who is ready to operate with a high degree of autonomy. You'll own your client relationships and service commitments end-to-end, collaborate across HUB's national Risk Services platform, and contribute directly to new business and practice development. If you thrive at the intersection of technical expertise, client relationships, and business development - and you're energized by working across industries - this is your next move.
