JOB SUMMARY

The Risk Claims Manager directly manages the company's auto liability and workers' compensation claims. This is an individual-contributor role with no direct reports — the Risk Claims Manager will manage claims for physical property damage, auto vehicle damage, and other verifiable damage, rather than overseeing a claims staff. The role ensures complete and sound claim settlements, legal reviews, and investigations in accordance with company policies and procedures, and directly manages workers' compensation claims, including return-to-work documentation and modified duty job offers. The Risk Claims Manager will recommend measures to reduce or eliminate losses due to accidents and injuries.

This position has the potential to be remote.
