Job description

ABOUT US

At HUB International, we are a team of entrepreneurs. We believe in protecting and supporting the aspirations of individuals, families, and businesses. We help our clients evaluate their risks and develop solutions tailored to their needs. We believe in empowering our employees to learn, grow, and make a difference. Our structure enables our teams to maintain their own unique, regional culture while leveraging support and resources from our corporate centers of excellence.

HUB is a global insurance and employee benefits broker, providing a boundaryless array of business insurance, employee benefits, risk services, personal insurance, retirement, and private wealth management products and services. With over $5 billion in revenue and almost 20,000 employees in 600 offices throughout North America, HUB has grown substantially, in part due to our industry leading success in mergers and acquisitions.

About the Role

HUB International's Risk Services Division (RSD) partners with clients across a broad range of industries to turn risk management from a cost center into a competitive advantage. As a Senior Risk Consultant based in Oregon, you will be the primary strategic advisor to a diverse book of clients - diagnosing complex exposures, engineering customized solutions, and delivering measurable results that protect their people, property, and bottom line.

This role is built for a consultant who is ready to operate with a high degree of autonomy. You'll own your client relationships and service commitments end-to-end, collaborate across HUB's national Risk Services platform, and contribute directly to new business and practice development. If you thrive at the intersection of technical expertise, client relationships, and business development - and you're energized by working across industries - this is your next move.

Primary Responsibilities

Client Service & Risk Consulting

  • Develop and implement strategic, customized risk control service plans for all actively serviced accounts - maintaining documented plans that reflect client goals, industry best practices, and HUB RSD quality standards.
  • Lead comprehensive risk assessments and audits across wood products manufacturing, construction, distribution, and other industrial sectors - identifying exposures and delivering prioritized, client-ready mitigation strategies.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders, translating complex risk findings into clear business language and actionable recommendations.
  • Leverage HUB's full RSD capabilities - including national specialist and outer-regional resources - to enhance client service and deliver solutions beyond local capacity alone.
  • Oversee insurance carrier loss control activities on behalf of clients, ensuring carrier recommendations align with client interests and service plan goals.
  • Utilize approved technology platforms and tools effectively; consistently look for ways to improve personal efficiency and the quality of client deliverables.
  • Conduct management and employee training sessions on risk and safety topics for clients as needed.

Client Retention & Relationship Management

  • Own client retention for your assigned book - delivering consistently responsive, zero-complaint service and proactively identifying at-risk accounts before they become problems.
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with assigned HUB producers and account managers; maintain clear, proactive communication on service plans, project timelines, and deliverable status.
  • Conduct loss analysis and trending to identify client focus areas and demonstrate measurable progress against service plan goals.
  • Produce high-quality written reports, service plans, and client deliverables consistently - meeting HUB RSD standards on first submission.

New Business & Practice Development

  • Partner with HUB producers and account teams to support new business development - participating in RFPs, proposals, prospect presentations, and site visits; articulate the tangible value of risk consulting services to prospective clients.
  • Actively contribute to HUB RSD practice development - producing reusable work product, tools, and solutions; complete assigned practice tasks on schedule and to quality standards.
  • Represent HUB as a subject matter expert through seminars, webinars, and industry events in the Pacific Northwest and Beyond.
  • Continuously look for ways to improve your own work and the team's capabilities; propose process improvements and participate in pilot programs as requested.

Team Development

  • Build a strong internal network of producer and colleague relationships; support peers and cross-regional colleagues through HUB's boundaryless structure - sharing expertise and stepping in on outer-regional needs as requested.
  • Contribute to divisional best practices, service standards, and knowledge-sharing initiatives.

Carrier & Vendor Management

  • Build and maintain productive relationships with insurance carrier risk engineering teams and third-party vendors to enhance service capabilities and client outcomes.
  • Leverage carrier and vendor resources strategically on behalf of clients to supplement internal consulting capacity.

Operational Accountability

  • Manage travel and expenses within approved budget and guidelines.
  • Complete monthly activity reports on time and with required accuracy.
  • Provide all proposals and RFPs to VP/SVP for review prior to submission.

What You Bring

Technical Expertise

  • Deep knowledge of risk management principles, occupational safety regulations (OR-OSHA,), and industry-specific exposures - particularly in wood products manufacturing, construction, and other industrial sectors.
  • Hands-on experience with Workers Compensation, General Liability and Commercial Auto lines of business including loss driver analysis and cost containment strategies.
  • Proven ability to conduct audits, gap analyses, and risk assessments across complex, multi-site operations.
  • Familiarity with risk assessment technology platforms and proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite.

Client & Interpersonal Skills

  • A natural relationship builder who earns trust quickly with clients at all organizational levels - from front-line supervisors to C-suite executives.
  • Excellent presentation and facilitation skills, with a track record of delivering training and consulting engagements to diverse audiences.
  • Highly adaptable - able to shift context fluidly across industry types and client cultures without missing a beat.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to translate complex risk concepts into clear, client-ready deliverables that meet quality standards on first submission.

Leadership & Organizational Skills

  • Demonstrated experience coaching or mentoring colleagues; comfortable providing constructive guidance and developing others.
  • Highly organized and self-directed - able to manage multiple client engagements and service commitments simultaneously with minimal oversight.
  • Sound judgment and problem-solving instincts; able to make confident decisions in ambiguous or fast-moving situations.
  • High degree of professionalism and accountability; responds to internal and external stakeholders within expected timeframes and models HUB values consistently.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Risk Management, Occupational Safety, Environmental Health, Business, or a related field.
  • 5-10+ years of progressive experience in risk consulting, EHS, loss control, or insurance-related roles.
  • Professional designation required or in progress: CSP (Certified Safety Professional), ARM (Associate in Risk Management), or equivalent.
  • Demonstrated experience developing and executing client-facing service plans, risk assessments, and written consulting deliverables.
  • Proven ability to build and manage client and producer relationships with a track record of positive feedback and retention outcomes.
  • Willingness and ability to travel approximately 25% overnight across the Pacific Northwest and other regions of the US as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with wood products manufacturing or construction clients in a consulting or loss control capacity.
  • Additional experience beyond core coverages and risk areas (e.g., General Liability, Products, Environmental, Security, Emergency Management).
  • Familiarity with Oregon-specific regulatory environment (OR-OSHA, Oregon Safe Employment Act) and Pacific Northwest industry landscape.
