Position at Trinity Property Consultants

The Opportunity

Trinity Property Consultants is seeking a Risk Manager to build and lead the Company's risk management function from the ground up. Reporting directly to the President, you will be the sole member and founding leader of the Risk Management team establishing programs, processes, and standards that will define the function for years to come.

The Risk Manager will oversee risk management, safety, and claims programs across our multifamily residential portfolio, serving as a liaison to Legal, Accounting, and regional leadership. This is a high-visibility role with direct executive access and a significant opportunity to shape how risk management is practiced across the organization.

Compensation: $120,000 to $140,000 annually, based on your experience, plus performance bonus.

Schedule: Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, in office role with approximately 10% travel.

Office Location: Irvine, CA.

What You'll Own
  • Review and validate issued insurance policies to ensure alignment with negotiated terms and Company requirements; maintain the corporate insurance policy repository.
  • Develop and present insurance program recommendations-including coverage structure, limits, and cost considerations-to the President and senior leadership.
  • Monitor insurance market conditions and trends to proactively position the Company's risk management program.
  • Track and manage insurance-covered expenses; coordinate reimbursement or recovery from insurers as appropriate.
  • Produce and distribute loss runs on a regular cadence; compile and present claims data reports to leadership, insurers, and relevant stakeholders to support program reviews and renewals.
  • Monitor and analyze loss runs and claims activity to identify trends and inform risk mitigation strategies; implement proactive pre-claim prevention measures for general liability exposures.
  • Coordinate direct communication and resolution with impacted individuals to minimize escalation and litigation exposure; partner with the Legal Department on insurance-related litigation matters.
  • Identify, assess, and prioritize operational risks using a structured risk register; design and launch mitigation plans with clear owners, timelines, and success measures.
  • Lead safety compliance programs across the portfolio: training design and delivery, incident investigation and root-cause analysis, and audit readiness management.
  • Track and evaluate incident reports across the portfolio to identify patterns and flag potential liability exposure before claims arise; leverage predictive modeling to anticipate emerging risks.
  • Ensure adherence to OSHA, NFPA, EPA, IBC/property maintenance codes, local housing and property regulations, and internal policies; maintain audit-ready documentation.
  • Evaluate and select risk-minimization techniques such as risk retention and risk transfer; analyze and classify risks according to frequency and potential severity.

What You Bring
  • A strategic mindset with the ability to assess complex risk landscapes and build structured, actionable programs from the ground up.
  • Strong analytical thinking with the ability to translate loss data, claims trends, and risk indicators into proactive strategy.
  • A proactive, prevention-first approach to risk management-always looking to get ahead of issues before they become claims.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate complex risk and legal topics for executives, site teams, and external partners.
  • Comfort operating independently in a fast-paced environment, managing a broad scope of responsibilities with minimal oversight.
  • An ownership mentality with a focus on measurable outcomes-reduced claims frequency, improved safety metrics, and a defensible risk posture.
  • Passion for multifamily real estate and a genuine interest in protecting communities, people, and the business.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Risk Management, Business, or a related field required.
  • 5+ years of experience in risk management, insurance, claims, and/or safety; experience within multifamily real estate, property management, or a related industry strongly preferred.
  • Expertise in insurance program management: coverage analysis, endorsements, limits and deductibles, COIs, and broker/carrier/TPA relationship management.
  • Demonstrated claims leadership across FNOL, investigation, reserves, subrogation, litigation coordination, and closure strategy.
  • Strong working knowledge of OSHA, NFPA, EPA, IBC/property maintenance codes, and local housing and property standards.
  • Ability to read contracts and provide analysis and recommended language for insurance, indemnity, and related provisions.
  • Previous experience reporting to or working directly with senior leadership or executive management.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, AI-related productivity tools, and BI/reporting tools; ability to build integrated dashboards and maintain data quality.
  • Relevant professional certification (ARM, CRM, CPCU, or equivalent) preferred.
