• Reviewing incident reports, ensuring OSHA and insurer deadlines are met, and partnering with Operations and People Experience to close information gaps and drive corrective actions. 
• Support return-to-work outcomes through restricted duty coordination and documentation follow-up alongside People Support and Accommodations teams.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years in workers' compensation, general liability, claims administration, or risk management - with hands-on knowledge of OSHA reporting and insurance claims processes.
• Comfortable working across TPAs, carriers, brokers, legal counsel, and medical providers, and know how to handle sensitive information with discretion.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills are a must, along with proficiency in Microsoft Office and experience with claims management, incident tracking, or case management systems.

Preferred:      

• Background in hospitality, restaurant, retail, or multi-unit operations, plus experience supporting return-to-work or workplace injury management programs.
• A degree in Risk Management, Business Administration, HR, or a related field is a plus, as is an insurance or risk certification such as AIC, ARM, or CPCU.

Additional Requirements:

• Ability to remain stationary for extended periods while working at a computer
• Strong written and verbal communication with internal and external stakeholders
• High attention to detail when reviewing documentation and analyzing data
• Able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
