Schedule: Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, in office role with approximately 10% travel.

What You’ll Own

• Review and validate issued insurance policies to ensure alignment with negotiated terms and Company requirements; maintain the corporate insurance policy repository.
• Develop and present insurance program recommendations—including coverage structure, limits, and cost considerations—to the President and senior leadership.
• Monitor insurance market conditions and trends to proactively position the Company’s risk management program.
• Track and manage insurance-covered expenses; coordinate reimbursement or recovery from insurers as appropriate.
• Produce and distribute loss runs on a regular cadence; compile and present claims data reports to leadership, insurers, and relevant stakeholders to support program reviews and renewals.
• Monitor and analyze loss runs and claims activity to identify trends and inform risk mitigation strategies; implement proactive pre-claim prevention measures for general liability exposures.
• Coordinate direct communication and resolution with impacted individuals to minimize escalation and litigation exposure; partner with the Legal Department on insurance-related litigation matters.
• Identify, assess, and prioritize operational risks using a structured risk register; design and launch mitigation plans with clear owners, timelines, and success measures.
• Lead safety compliance programs across the portfolio: training design and delivery, incident investigation and root-cause analysis, and audit readiness management.
• Track and evaluate incident reports across the portfolio to identify patterns and flag potential liability exposure before claims arise; leverage predictive modeling to anticipate emerging risks.
• Ensure adherence to OSHA, NFPA, EPA, IBC/property maintenance codes, local housing and property regulations, and internal policies; maintain audit-ready documentation.
• Evaluate and select risk-minimization techniques such as risk retention and risk transfer; analyze and classify risks according to frequency and potential severity.

What You Bring

• A strategic mindset with the ability to assess complex risk landscapes and build structured, actionable programs from the ground up.
• Strong analytical thinking with the ability to translate loss data, claims trends, and risk indicators into proactive strategy.
• A proactive, prevention-first approach to risk management—always looking to get ahead of issues before they become claims.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate complex risk and legal topics for executives, site teams, and external partners.
• Comfort operating independently in a fast-paced environment, managing a broad scope of responsibilities with minimal oversight.
• An ownership mentality with a focus on measurable outcomes—reduced claims frequency, improved safety metrics, and a defensible risk posture.
• Passion for multifamily real estate and a genuine interest in protecting communities, people, and the business.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Risk Management, Business, or a related field required.
• 5+ years of experience in risk management, insurance, claims, and/or safety; experience within multifamily real estate, property management, or a related industry strongly preferred.
• Expertise in insurance program management: coverage analysis, endorsements, limits and deductibles, COIs, and broker/carrier/TPA relationship management.
• Demonstrated claims leadership across FNOL, investigation, reserves, subrogation, litigation coordination, and closure strategy.
• Strong working knowledge of OSHA, NFPA, EPA, IBC/property maintenance codes, and local housing and property standards.
• Ability to read contracts and provide analysis and recommended language for insurance, indemnity, and related provisions.
• Previous experience reporting to or working directly with senior leadership or executive management.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, AI-related productivity tools, and BI/reporting tools; ability to build integrated dashboards and maintain data quality.
• Relevant professional certification (ARM, CRM, CPCU, or equivalent) preferred.
