What you'll do
As Manager, Risk & Insurance, you’ll join Giga’s Risk & Insurance team and help run the insurance program across all Giga business lines and entities. You’ll support the corporate insurance portfolio across Property & Casualty and Management Liability lines, along with coverage for the full data center lifecycle: construction-phase coverage (Builder’s Risk, OCIPs, contractor risk transfer) and operational-phase coverage for live facilities (property, business interruption, cyber, and technology E&O). You’ll also stand up the procedures, tools, and reporting that let a lean team keep pace with a business that is scaling quickly.
Where you'll work
This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.
That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.
