Main Purpose

As the Risk Manager (Risk Prevention and Risk Management) at Indeed Flex, you will hold overall accountability for the employer-side workers’ compensation claims management programme and provide strategic oversight to our highly successful, established EH&S department. Your mission is to bridge the gap between injury prevention and claims mitigation, creating a unified risk strategy within a fast-scaling staffing environment.

You will lead one direct report initially, with the potential mandate to expand the Risk team as the Workers’ Compensation programme matures. You will be a hands-on Risk professional who will lead the day to day claims management and support the strategy for prevention and mitigation. This role sits within our Global Risk and Compliance team and reports directly to the Head of Risk and Compliance.

• Balance: Ability to maintain a "Safety First" culture with empathy for injured workers while maintaining disciplined financial and cost management.

• Professional certifications (e.g., ARM, CPCU, CSP, WCCP).
• Experience in the staffing industry or managing contingent workforce risk.
• Familiarity with international risk frameworks as they apply to US-based operations.
