Surety & Insurance Risk Manager

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.

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.

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

Build the processes, templates, and systems that will let the function scale as Giga grows
