The CRO partners closely with Actuarial, Finance & Accounting, Legal & Compliance, Investments, IT/Cybersecurity, Operations, and Internal Audit to ensure a coordinated, risk‑based approach that meets regulatory and rating‑agency expectations while supporting strategic objectives. Key Responsibilities Lead and maintain the company's ERM framework, including risk governance, risk taxonomy, policies, and reporting aligned with a Three Lines Model.

Oversee second‑line risk management for insurance risk (underwriting, pricing, reserving), investment and market risk, and operational, technology, cyber, and third‑party risk. Serve as a senior risk partner for regulatory examinations, insurance department interactions, and rating agency reviews. Produce clear, Board‑ready risk reporting and present regularly to executive management and Board committees as appropriate. Coordinate closely with Internal Audit and Compliance to align assurance activities while maintaining independence and clear role boundaries. Promote a strong risk culture emphasizing accountability, transparency, and policyholder stewardship. Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Actuarial Science, Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field; advanced degree preferred. 12+ years of progressive experience in insurance risk management, actuarial, finance, or related disciplines, including senior leadership experience. Strong knowledge of NAIC regulatory frameworks, including ORSA and RBC, and experience interacting with regulators and rating agencies.
