Purpose of the Role

The Risk Manager is responsible for developing, implementing, and managing Keel Infrastructure’s risk management and insurance strategies during the company’s next phase of growth. This role plays a critical part in protecting enterprise value by identifying, assessing, and mitigating risk across large‑scale infrastructure projects, corporate operations, and strategic initiatives, including mergers, acquisitions, and asset development.

The Risk Manager partners closely with Construction, Development, Finance, Legal, and executive leadership to ensure that risk is appropriately priced, transferred, or retained in support of business objectives. Construction and capital projects represent a significant area of focus, alongside the continued build‑out of Keel’s broader enterprise risk management framework.

Key Responsibilities

Insurance & Risk Strategy

  • Develop and execute enterprise‑wide insurance strategies aligned with Keel’s capital‑intensive infrastructure and data center development activities.
  • Negotiate, place, and manage complex insurance programs, including builders’ all‑risk, professional liability, property, general liability, and other project‑specific and corporate coverages.
  • Manage broker relationships and insurance renewals, ensuring appropriate coverage, limits, and cost effectiveness.
  • Evaluate risk retention versus transfer strategies, including alternative risk structures where appropriate.

Project & Construction Risk

  • Lead risk planning for major infrastructure and construction projects from development through construction and early operations.
  • Support decisions related to OCIP or CCIP structures and other project‑specific risk transfer mechanisms.
  • Review and negotiate risk‑bearing commercial terms with EPCs, contractors, suppliers, and partners.
  • Advise project teams on practical, real‑time risk considerations that balance protection with execution.

Claims Management

  • Manage claims across all lines of insurance, including coordination with Legal, brokers, carriers, and external counsel.
  • Oversee claim reporting, resolution strategy, and reserving considerations.
  • Analyze claim trends and loss drivers to inform future risk mitigation and insurance decisions.

Enterprise & Strategic Risk

  • Build and mature Keel’s enterprise risk management approach as the company scales.
  • Partner with executive leadership to identify and assess material enterprise risks and present decision‑ready insights.
  • Support mergers, acquisitions, and asset transactions through risk and insurance due diligence, exposure assessment, and post‑close integration planning.
  • Establish practical risk reporting and governance processes appropriate for a growing, public‑ready infrastructure organization.

Requirements

  • 8–12+ years of progressive experience in risk management, insurance, or related disciplines, preferably within construction, infrastructure, energy, or other capital‑intensive industries.
  • Hands‑on experience managing complex insurance programs and renewals, including project‑specific and loss‑sensitive structures.
  • Strong understanding of construction and project risk, contract risk transfer, and claims management.
  • Experience supporting enterprise risk management initiatives in a high‑growth or transformational environment.
  • Exposure to M&A, asset acquisitions, or strategic expansion from a risk or insurance perspective.
  • Proven ability to partner cross‑functionally with Finance, Legal, Construction, and executive leadership.
  • Strong judgment, analytical skills, and the ability to operate effectively in fast‑moving environments.

Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly translate risk considerations into business decisions.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
