Job Description

Director of Enterprise Risk, Insurance

Giga Energy

• Own Giga’s performance bond strategy end-to-end — structuring and negotiating with sureties to satisfy lender and customer requirements on live deals • Build and manage relationships with insurance brokers and surety providers, taking Giga’s risk profile to market and negotiating terms on a project-by-project basis. • Design and enforce subcontractor bonding requirements, determining what percentage of subcontracted work needs to be bonded on each project. • Right-size Giga’s corporate and project-level insurance programs as the company takes on larger, higher-risk deals. • Get creative when Giga’s balance sheet can’t support the bond size a deal requires — structuring alternative solutions to keep contracts moving. • Partner closely with Legal, Finance, and Growth to build bonding and insurance requirements into deal structuring up front, rather than after contracts are signed. • Advise executive leadership on risk exposure, market conditions, and what’s realistically achievable with sureties and insurers. • Lay the groundwork to build and lead a team as Giga’s enterprise risk function grows.

Job Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in performance bonds/surety, insurance, or risk management.
  • Deep, practical knowledge of how performance bonds are underwritten, priced, and structured.
  • Experience owning broker and surety relationships and taking a company’s risk profile to market.
  • Strong understanding of corporate and project-level insurance programs.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business Administration, Law, Construction Management, or a related field.
  • Comfortable making judgment calls with incomplete information, in an environment that moves faster than typical risk and insurance norms.

Benefits

  • Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
  • 401(k) with 4% employer match
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Parental leave
  • Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
  • Commuter benefits
  • Monthly team onsites where all offices come in-person to collaborate
