Energy Risk Manager Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

Description

GVW Group is a private investment and industrial holding company focused on building and scaling operating businesses across manufacturing, technology, engineering, and distribution. We take a hands-on, operator-led approach to value creation, supporting our portfolio companies with capital, strategic direction, and shared capabilities. 

Summary:

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role responsible for building and leading GVW’s enterprise risk capability across the group and its portfolio companies. 

The Chief Risk Officer role sits at the intersection of business decision-making, risk ownership, insurance strategy, and technology risk. It is not a traditional compliance or audit role. The focus is on enabling the business to grow while ensuring risk is understood, structured, and actively managed across operations, investments, and technology. 

You will work directly with the owner and senior leadership to shape how risk is identified, evaluated, and acted on across the organization. 

Key Responsibilities: 

Governance & Decision Framework 

•    Define decision rights, approval thresholds, and delegation of authority.  

•     Ensure alignment between who makes decisions and who carries risk.  

•     Build simple, high-impact governance processes that scale with the business.  

Technology, Cyber & AI Risk 

•     Oversee enterprise risk related to cybersecurity, data, and emerging technologies.  

•   Partner closely with our technology teams to ensure risk is understood at leadership level.  

•     Provide governance around AI, data usage, and automated decision-making.  

•  Ensure risks tied to technology investments and digital initiatives are visible and managed.  

Insurance & Risk Transfer  

•   Own GVW’s enterprise insurance strategy and risk transfer approach.  

•   Design and manage coverage across property, liability, cyber, and operational exposures.  

•   Work closely with brokers and partners on structuring coverage and renewals.  

•    Evaluate opportunities for captive or alternative insurance structures (where relevant).  

•    Ensure alignment between retained risk, insured risk, and business strategy.  

Enterprise Risk & Decision Support 

•  Build and implement a practical enterprise risk framework aligned to GVW’s operating model.  

•  Translate risk into clear decision inputs for leadership (not just reports).  

• Support major decisions (new products, investments, expansion) with structured risk thinking.  

•  Define and embed risk appetite, thresholds, and escalation mechanisms.  

Operational & Business Risk 

•  Work across portfolio companies to identify and prioritize key risks (operational, financial, supply chain, product).  

•  Establish consistent but practical governance across portfolio companies.  

•  Support leaders in understanding and owning risk within their operations.  

Requirements: 

Experience 

• 15+ years in risk, operations, or leadership roles with exposure to:  
• Governance and Decision Framework
• Technology or cyber risk 
• Insurance / risk transfer 
• Enterprise risk management (ERM)
• Background in:  
• Industrial, manufacturing, logistics, energy, or asset-heavy environments. OR financial services with strong operating / build experience outside large institutions.  

Key Skills: 

• Experience building and implementing risk frameworks in real operating environments.  

• Exposure to cyber / technology risk and ability to engage at both technical and executive level.  

•   Strong understanding of insurance programs and risk transfer strategies.  

•   Ability to operate in a lean, hands-on environment without large teams.  

•   Comfortable working directly with senior leadership and influencing decisions.  

•   Able to move between strategic thinking and hands-on execution.  

•   Track record of ownership and follow-through, not just advisory work. 

Work Environment: Office setting and plant environment
