Denver, CO

Rocky Mountain Public Media, Inc. (RMPM) is the parent company of Rocky Mountain PBS, KUVO Jazz, and The Drop. Over a million Coloradans turn to Rocky Mountain PBS, KUVO Jazz, and The Drop to discover provocative and inspiring local, national, and international programming; find diverse viewpoints; score front row center seats to world-class performances; and experience lifelong learning opportunities every month. At the heart of our work is the Friendship Business Model: a relationship-centered approach to public media sustainability that supports audiences on a journey of belonging - from first encounter to lasting partnership. Every team at RMPM, including Risk Management, plays a role in protecting and enabling that mission.

The Risk Management Coordinator supports RMPM's organizational integrity - and by extension, its ability to build lasting friendships with Colorado's communities. By assisting with insurance compliance tracking, coordinating legal document workflows, and supporting contract administration, this role helps maintain the safe, stable foundation that allows every team at RMPM to do their best relationship-building work. Reporting to the Director of Finance, this position assists in day-to-day risk management operations and serves as a key coordinator between internal stakeholders, external partners, vendors, and legal counsel on matters related to coverage verification, document routing, and contractual obligations. The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, and eager to grow their risk management knowledge in a mission-driven environment. This role offers meaningful opportunities to expand into broader areas of risk management over time through involvement in special projects.

• Monitors insurance expiration dates and assists in coordinating timely renewals to prevent lapses in coverage.
• Helps monitor changes in regulatory requirements and flags relevant updates to the Director of Finance for review and action.

• Supports the coordination of compliance and legal documents - including contracts, agreements, amendments, addenda, and notices - by routing materials to the appropriate reviewers and tracking status through execution and filing.
• Assists with preliminary review of incoming documents to help identify key provisions such as indemnification clauses, insurance requirements, and dispute resolution terms; escalates flagged items to the Director of Finance for guidance.

RMPM operates at the intersection of media, community engagement, and organizational transformation - an environment where higher-stakes initiatives regularly emerge. This responsibility area is intentionally designed to create room for the Risk Management Coordinator to grow beyond core compliance functions and develop broader risk management expertise over time.

• Supports the Director of Finance on special projects and cross-functional initiatives identified as carrying elevated organizational, legal, financial, or reputational risk - such as major partnerships, new program launches, capital projects, or organizational change efforts.

• Supports post-project documentation efforts, helping to capture lessons learned and contributing to continuous improvement of RMPM's risk management practices.

How This Role Connects to Our Friendship Business Model

RMPM's Friendship Business Model is built on a simple but powerful idea: that sustainable public media grows from genuine relationships - with audiences, communities, and partners. Every role at RMPM contributes to the conditions that make those friendships possible.

For the Risk Management Coordinator, that contribution is foundational. When contracts are clear and enforceable, when insurance coverage is solid, when legal obligations are understood and met - RMPM can enter partnerships with confidence, show up for community events without exposure, and focus organizational energy on the work of belonging rather than managing crises. This role is, at its core, a steward of trust: ensuring that RMPM's relationships with vendors, partners, and the public are protected and sustainable for the long term.

RMPM values employees who connect their daily work to our broader mission of creating a community where all Coloradans feel welcome, known, included, supported, and connected.
