• Oversee workers’ compensation and liability claims by coordinating with third-party administrators, carriers, adjusters, legal partners, and other external stakeholders.

• Review claim activity and loss information to identify trends, recommend corrective actions, and support cost-containment efforts.

• Create, update, and implement policies and procedures related to risk control, safety practices, claims handling, and loss prevention.

• Manage insurance-related activities such as coverage evaluation, policy renewals, certificate review, and maintenance of supporting documentation.

• Examine contracts, permits, leases, and service agreements to confirm appropriate insurance terms, indemnity language, and risk-transfer protections are in place.

• Advise department leaders and staff on incident reporting, safe work practices, exposure awareness, and preventative measures to reduce organizational risk.

• Prepare reports, presentations, and recommendations for senior leadership and other governing groups while maintaining accurate risk management records and files.

• At least 5 years of experience in risk management, including progressively responsible work in a public sector, municipal, special district, or similarly regulated environment.

• Demonstrated knowledge of claims administration, insurance coverage analysis, workers’ compensation, loss prevention, and compliance risk management.

• Experience partnering with leadership, legal counsel, and cross-functional teams to address liability concerns and organizational exposure.

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret loss data, assess trends, and develop practical recommendations.

• Familiarity with employee relations, HR administration, benefits-related processes, onboarding practices, and HRIS-supported workflows.

• Ability to review agreements and operational documents for insurance requirements, indemnification terms, and other risk-related provisions.

• Excellent communication and presentation skills for delivering training, guidance, and formal reports to varied audiences.
