Full Job Description


What you'll do

As Manager, Risk & Insurance, 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.
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
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
  • Quarterly team onsites where all offices come in-person to collaborate
