About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own Giga’s performance bond strategy end-to-end — structuring and negotiating with sureties to satisfy lender and customer requirements on live deals
Build and manage relationships with insurance brokers and surety providers, taking Giga’s risk profile to market and negotiating terms on a project-by-project basis.
Design and enforce subcontractor bonding requirements, determining what percentage of subcontracted work needs to be bonded on each project.
Right-size Giga’s corporate and project-level insurance programs as the company takes on larger, higher-risk deals.
Get creative when Giga’s balance sheet can’t support the bond size a deal requires — structuring alternative solutions to keep contracts moving.
Partner closely with Legal, Finance, and Growth to build bonding and insurance requirements into deal structuring up front, rather than after contracts are signed.
Advise executive leadership on risk exposure, market conditions, and what’s realistically achievable with sureties and insurers.
Lay the groundwork to build and lead a team as Giga’s enterprise risk function grows.
