Position Summary The Manager, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) & Insurance leads the day-to-day execution and continued maturity of Cardinal System Holdings' enterprise risk management program while coordinating key elements of the corporate insurance program and annual renewal process. This role establishes consistent risk identification, assessment, ownership, mitigation, monitoring, and reporting practices across affiliates. The Manager also coordinates exposure data, underwriting submissions, renewal schedules, policy documentation, carrier and broker requirements, and stakeholder communications so enterprise risks are appropriately understood and supported by effective insurance solutions. The successful candidate will be a strong facilitator, program manager, analyst, and relationship builder who can influence leaders across a matrixed organization, create practical and sustainable processes, and translate risk information into clear actions and executive insights. Key Responsibilities ERM Framework, Governance & Program Execution
Execute and continuously improve the enterprise risk management framework across Cardinal System Holdings and participating affiliates. Maintain ERM policies, standards, procedures, roles, governance calendars, risk taxonomy, scoring methodology, and reporting expectations. Coordinate annual and periodic enterprise risk assessments, business unit assessments, topic-specific reviews, and emerging risk discussions. Ensure material risks have defined owners, clear statements, consistent ratings, documented controls, and actionable mitigation plans. Maintain an enterprise ERM calendar and action log that supports timely completion of assessments, reporting, mitigation reviews, and governance activities.
Risk Identification, Assessment & Facilitation
Plan and facilitate risk workshops, interviews, surveys, and leadership discussions that identify strategic, operational, financial, compliance, technology, people, and external risks. Coach risk owners on writing clear risk statements, assessing likelihood and impact, evaluating controls, and identifying practical mitigation actions. Challenge assumptions and promote cross-functional discussion of risk interdependencies, concentration, velocity, persistence, and potential business impact. Perform targeted deep dives for material or rapidly changing risks and coordinate subject matter experts as needed. Ensure assessment outputs are documented consistently and translated into prioritized enterprise and affiliate risk views.
Risk Registers, Mitigation & Accountability
Maintain enterprise and affiliate risk registers with accurate ownership, ratings, controls, actions, milestones, and status information. Partner with risk owners to establish mitigation plans with measurable deliverables, due dates, dependencies, and expected risk reduction. Monitor overdue or off-track actions, validate status updates, and escalate material gaps through defined governance channels. Coordinate periodic risk owner reviews to reassess exposure, control effectiveness, mitigation progress, and residual risk. Create transparent reporting that reinforces leadership accountability without making ERM an administrative checklist.
Risk Analytics, KRIs & Executive Reporting
Develop and maintain key risk indicators, thresholds, trend views, heat maps, dashboards, and executive summaries. Analyze internal and external information to identify changes in exposure, common themes, emerging risks, and cross-affiliate dependencies. Prepare concise, decision-oriented materials for executive leadership, governance committees, affiliate leaders, and other stakeholders. Connect risk information to strategy, operating plans, capital priorities, insurance decisions, resilience, compliance, and audit activities. Measure ERM program effectiveness and recommend improvements based on participation, timeliness, data quality, mitigation progress, and decision usefulness.
ERM Maturity, Integration & Risk Culture
Assess ERM maturity across affiliates and functions and develop practical improvement roadmaps based on business needs and capability levels. Standardize tools, templates, terminology, and minimum expectations while allowing appropriate flexibility for different operations. Integrate risk assessment and mitigation into strategic planning, budgeting, project governance, change initiatives, business continuity, compliance, and performance management. Develop training, communications, job aids, and leader guidance that build risk ownership and improve risk-based decision making. Promote a constructive risk culture in which concerns are raised early, assumptions are challenged, and leaders understand their accountability.
Insurance Renewal Program Coordination
Own the enterprise renewal calendar, data request plan, stakeholder communications, deliverables tracker, and governance cadence for corporate insurance renewals. Coordinate collection and validation of exposure, operational, financial, claim, property, fleet, cyber, executive risk, and other underwriting information. Partner with Risk Financing to align renewal submissions and market activity with program strategy, financial objectives, coverage priorities, and decision deadlines. Coordinate applications, supplemental questionnaires, underwriting meetings, site visits, engineering recommendations, and follow-up requests. Ensure affiliate and functional stakeholders understand requirements, deadlines, assumptions, and the business impact of incomplete or inaccurate data.
Broker, Carrier & Policy Coordination
Serve as a central coordination point for routine broker and carrier communications related to submissions, underwriting, policy administration, and renewal requirements. Maintain organized records of policies, endorsements, applications, binders, schedules, certificates, invoices, and renewal decision materials. Track outstanding policy documentation, subjectivities, recommendations, and carrier requests through completion. Coordinate policy review with Risk Financing, Legal, Claims, Finance, and business stakeholders to identify discrepancies or needed corrections. Support stewardship meetings and evaluate partner responsiveness, deliverable quality, and completion of commitments.
Cross-Functional Risk & Insurance Advisory
Partner with Claims to incorporate loss trends, large-loss issues, litigation themes, and claim development into risk assessments and insurance planning. Partner with Legal and Procurement on contract risk, indemnification, insurance requirements, and appropriate escalation of material exposures. Partner with Finance and Risk Financing to support budgeting, forecasting, disclosure, and retained-versus-transferred risk decisions. Provide risk and insurance input for strategic initiatives, acquisitions, new operations, major projects, significant contracts, and emerging exposures. Connect affiliate leaders with subject matter experts and ensure unresolved risk or insurance issues have clear ownership and follow-up.
Systems, Data & Process Improvement
Administer and improve ERM and insurance data processes, including risk registers, action tracking, policy repositories, exposure schedules, and renewal records. Establish data standards, validation steps, ownership, version control, retention, and quality checks for ERM and underwriting information. Develop repeatable templates, workflows, dashboards, and calendars that improve consistency and reduce manual effort.
