We care about our people and our communities, and we look for ways to uplift people first. Wherever your journey's going, we can help you get there. Are you ready to grow your career? Let's grow together!
THE ROLE
The Head of Insurance and Risk is responsible for developing and executing the enterprise-wide risk and insurance strategy for a large, multi-site fuel and convenience retail organization. This role oversees global risk governance, insurance program design, and operational risk mitigation across retail stores, fuel operations, logistics fleets, and supply chain networks. A critical component of the position includes direct leadership of casualty claims management, ensuring efficient handling of high-frequency, high-severity claims typical in the fuel and convenience retail environment.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Here are just a few ways that you'll help make journeys better:
Enterprise Risk Strategy & Governance
  • Build and maintain a comprehensive global risk management framework aligned with operational, financial, environmental, and regulatory priorities.
  • Identify and assess risks across retail operations, fuel distribution, transportation, environmental compliance, and supply chain.
  • Lead enterprise risk committees, reporting processes, and executive-level risk communication.
  • Advise senior leadership on emerging risks, including environmental liability, cyber threats, regulatory shifts, and market volatility.

Insurance Program Leadership
  • Design and manage global insurance programs covering property, casualty, auto/fleet, workers' compensation, environmental liability, cyber, and specialty risks.
  • Lead annual renewals, market negotiations, and program structuring to optimize coverage, retentions, and total cost of risk.
  • Maintain strong relationships with brokers, carriers, TPAs, and risk engineering partners.
  • Ensure insurance programs support business expansion, acquisitions, new store formats, and evolving fuel technologies (EV charging, alternative fuels).

Casualty Claims Management
  • Oversee end-to-end management of casualty claims, including:
    • General liability (slip-and-fall, premises liability)
    • Auto liability (fleet accidents, fuel transport)
    • Workers' compensation (retail and logistics workforce)
    • Product liability (fuel quality, foodservice)
  • Establish claims handling protocols, reserving standards, and litigation management strategies.
  • Partner with TPAs, defense counsel, insurers, and internal stakeholders to drive timely, cost-effective claim resolution.
  • Analyze claims data to identify trends, root causes, and opportunities for operational improvements.
  • Ensure compliance with federal and state regulations governing casualty and workers' compensation claims.

Operational Risk & Safety
  • Collaborate with operations, environmental health & safety, legal, HR, and supply chain teams to reduce risk exposure across thousands of retail sites and fuel assets.
  • Lead development of loss-prevention programs targeting:
    • Slip-and-fall reduction
    • Fuel handling and environmental safety
    • Fleet safety and driver behavior
    • Robbery and crime-related risk
  • Partner with risk engineering teams to implement site-level improvements and safety standards.

Financial & Analytical Leadership
  • Manage global insurance budgets, including premiums, retentions, deductibles, and claims reserves.
  • Deliver executive-level reporting on risk metrics, claims performance, and financial impacts.
  • Use analytics to forecast risk trends, evaluate program performance, and optimize total cost of risk.

Leadership & Collaboration
  • Lead and develop a global team of insurance, claims, and risk professionals.
  • Foster a culture of risk awareness and accountability across retail, logistics, and corporate functions.
  • Serve as a strategic partner to senior executives, providing insights that balance risk mitigation with business growth.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED
We want you to join our team! Here's what we're looking for:
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree or professional designation (ARM, CPCU, CRM, JD) preferred.
  • 12-15+ years of progressive experience in risk management, insurance, or claims leadership, ideally within retail, fuel distribution, logistics, or similarly complex operational environments.
  • Deep expertise in casualty claims, including high-volume retail claims and fleet-related exposures.
  • Strong negotiation skills and established relationships within the insurance and risk management community.
  • Proven ability to lead global programs and influence senior stakeholders.
  • Exceptional analytical, communication, and strategic-thinking capabilities.

Success Profile
The ideal candidate is:
  • Strategic and operationally grounded, able to navigate the fast-paced, high-exposure world of fuel and convenience retail.
  • Skilled at balancing risk mitigation with customer experience and operational efficiency.
  • A strong communicator who can translate risk insights into actionable business decisions.
  • Comfortable leading through complexity, ambiguity, and rapid growth.

WHY YOU SHOULD WORK HERE:
Our job openings in stores and offices allow you to grow quickly within a global company, while benefiting from a dynamic work environment that puts people first. Wherever you are in your journey, we have a place for you. Here are some of the attractive benefits we offer:
  • Competitive Salary
  • Complete benefits packages (medical, dental, deferred compensation plan, employee stock plan, etc.).
  • People Perks which allows for great discounts on food and fuel.
  • Vacation / PTO time
  • Work in a collaborative, dynamic and high performing team.
  • Work for a leading, innovative, and growing company in convenience stores operations.
  • Fortune 500 company and a 5-time Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award Winner.
  • Tuition reimbursement of $5,000 per year.
