Primary Responsibilities
HPR Property Risk Assessment

• Conduct loss analysis and trending to identify client focus areas and inform prioritized risk improvement programs.

Carrier Engagement & Underwriting Support

• Serve as the technical liaison between clients and major property carriers- advocating for favorable risk recognition based on documented improvements and HPR-aligned controls.
• Review and interpret carrier loss prevention reports; advise clients on recommended vs. required items and negotiate timelines and outcomes where appropriate.
• Develop and present property risk narratives and improvement roadmaps that strengthen underwriting submissions and support renewal negotiations.
• Provide oversight of insurance carrier loss control activities and assessments on the client's behalf.

Client Advisory & Service Plan Management

• Build trusted, long-term advisory relationships with client risk managers, operations leaders, and facilities teams across a diverse regional portfolio.

• Assist in implementation of property risk management best practices using sound project management and consulting disciplines.

Business Development & Team Collaboration

• Identify and develop consulting opportunities, including pre-acquisition property assessments, COPE data verification, and property improvement program development.
• Develop and manage relationships with insurance carrier and vendor partners to expand service capabilities for clients.
• Contribute to special projects and divisional knowledge-sharing initiatives.
