Partner closely with Physical Production, Production Finance, Safety & Security, Finance, Legal, and other cross‑functional teams to support projects, budgeting, accounting, and reporting related to risk and insurance.

Advise internal teams on potential risks, coverage requirements, and mitigation strategies for new initiatives, business lines, and markets.

Understand, interpret, and apply relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards relating to insurance coverage and risk management, ensuring appropriate governance and compliance.

People Leadership
