What you'll do
As Surety & Insurance Risk Manager, you'll join Giga's Risk & Insurance team, reporting directly to the Head of Risk & Insurance. You'll manage the day-to-day administration of Giga's bonding and insurance programs — including bond submissions, portfolio-wide risk reporting, and insurance program administration. This is a builder's seat: you'll help stand up the processes and systems that let the function scale as Giga grows.
Responsibilities
- Manage day-to-day administration of performance bond submissions — paperwork, timelines, and status tracking across all live deals
- Build and own portfolio-wide risk reporting — aggregate bond capacity, exposure, and insurance program status across all active and pipeline deals into a single source of truth for leadership
- Administer corporate and project-level insurance programs — renewals, certificates of insurance, coverage tracking
- Build and maintain the data infrastructure (bond capacity, program terms, deal history, renewal calendars) that lets the function make fast, informed decisions
- Prepare deal-level bonding and insurance summaries for broker and surety negotiations
- Partner with Legal, Finance, and Growth counterparts on the operational side of deal structuring
- Build the processes, templates, and systems that will let the function scale as Giga grows
Requirements
- 5-7+ years of experience in insurance, risk management, or performance bonds/surety
- Working knowledge of and/or related experience with how performance bonds are underwritten, priced, and structured — insurance backgrounds with transferable skills are welcome
- Solid understanding of corporate and project-level insurance programs
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business Administration, or a related field
- Comfortable operating with incomplete information in a fast-moving environment
Bonus points
- Background at a surety company, insurance carrier, or brokerage
- Experience in construction, infrastructure, or industrial/energy sectors
- Industry-specific certifications (e.g., CPCU, ARM, surety bond producer credentials)
- Experience helping build out a risk management function from the ground up
Where you'll work
This role is remote — we don't care where you sit, only that you're excellent at the job. You'll travel occasionally (about 10% of the time, roughly a couple of trips per year) for company and team offsites to stay closely connected with Growth and Finance, given how tightly this role works with them.
