Business Risk Manager

About the Opportunity

Commercial insurance is a stable, high-earning, and recession-proof sector. Every business needs it, it's required by law, and it renews annually. IGA operates in a unique niche, working directly with contractors to help them secure the bonding capacity and risk structure they need to grow. This role is ideal for candidates interested in business, finance, risk management, and long-term client relationships. It combines analytical work, business development, and strategic advising within a career path offering significant long-term financial upside.

Key Responsibilities

As a Business Growth and Risk Specialist, you will support contractors as they grow, helping them understand their financial position, expand their bidding capacity, and structure their risk programs effectively.

• Developing a pipeline of contractor relationships through proactive outreach
• Introducing IGA’s specialized services to prospective clients
• Learning how to evaluate contractor financials and creditworthiness
• Helping clients secure payment and performance bonds
• Advising clients on growth strategies, bidding opportunities, and risk structure
• Coordinating with underwriting partners on behalf of clients
• Building and managing a long-term book of business
• Becoming a trusted advisor as clients scale their operations

Business development is a normal part of the early career. Over time, the role becomes increasingly advisory, relationship-driven, and strategic.

Why This Role Matters

Contractors cannot bid or win major public projects without the bonding capacity you help them secure. IGA solves a critical problem for contractors, maintaining a close ratio above 90 percent. You will directly impact the growth, stability, and long-term success of contractor businesses.

• Comprehensive training in commercial risk, financial analysis, and bonding
• Weekly mentorship from industry experts and senior leadership
• A clear progression path toward owning your own client portfolio
• A performance-based compensation model with strong long-term upside
