Job description

Join Amrize as a Risk Manager, Insurance Programs and help construct what's next. If you're ready to put your skills to work on projects that matter - and build a career with a company that's building North America - we want to hear from you!

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Risk Manager, Insurance Programs, is a strategic leader responsible for identifying, evaluating, and mitigating hazard risks across the enterprise. While this role provides broad oversight for the regional risk profile, it maintains a specialized focus on the design, procurement, and management of Property, Marine, and Hull insurance programs. The overarching goal is to protect the organization's physical and financial assets while minimizing the Total Cost of Risk (TCOR).

WHAT YOU'LL ACCOMPLISH

  • Risk Financing & Strategy: Recommend and execute optimal methods for financing corporate exposures. Lead the strategic procurement of insurance programs, surety bonds, and alternative risk transfer (ART) mechanisms.
  • Property Insurance Oversight: Lead the placement of the property insurance program, including the Loss Prevention Program. Partner with external engineers to conduct site risk assessments, track compliance with recommendations, and manage jurisdictional inspections to meet Highly Protected Risk (HPR) standards.
  • Marine & Logistics Oversight: Manage the risk profile for transit and maritime operations, ensuring appropriate coverage for Hull and Cargo exposures and mitigating supply chain disruptions.
  • 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.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Education: Bachelor's degree (Risk Management, Finance or Business preferred)

Required Work Experience: 7-10 years

Preferred Training/Certifications: Associate in Risk Management Designation (ARM), Certified Risk Manager Designation (CRM), Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) 

Required Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, modeling), PowerPoint, and experience with RMIS (Risk Management Information Systems).

Travel Requirements: Approximately 20% travel for site visits and market meetings.

Additional Requirements:

  • Financial and analytical skills
  • Knowledge and experience in primary insurance placement
  • Demonstrated ability in influencing, conflict management, and negotiation skills.
  • Working understanding of the construction manufacturing industry
    Strong interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills.
  • Successful candidates must adhere to all safety protocols and proper use of Amrize approved Personal Protection Equipment ("PPE"), including but not limited to respirators. Employees that are required to wear respirators must be clean shaven where the respirator seal meets the face in order to pass the qualitative and quantitative fit test.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Competitive salary
  • Retirement Savings: Choose from 401(k) pre-tax and/or Roth after-tax savings
  • Employee Stock Purchase Plan
  • Medical, Dental, Disability and Life Insurance  
  • Holistic Health & Well-being programs
