Job description

• The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here.
• The Impact: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship.
• The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.
• The Moment: AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.

What you’ll do

As the Insurance and Bonding Manager, you'll join Giga's Risk & Insurance team, reporting directly to the Head of Risk & Insurance. You'll manage the day-to-day administration of Giga's bonding and insurance programs — including bond submissions, portfolio-wide risk reporting, and insurance program administration. This is a builder's seat: you'll help stand up the processes and systems that let the function scale as Giga grows.

Where you’ll work

This role is remote — we don't care where you sit, only that you're excellent at the job. You'll travel occasionally (about 10% of the time, roughly a couple of trips per year) for company and team offsites to stay closely connected with Growth and Finance, given how tightly this role works with them.

Responsibilities

• Manage day-to-day administration of performance bond submissions — paperwork, timelines, and status tracking across all live deals
• Build and own portfolio-wide risk reporting — aggregate bond capacity, exposure, and insurance program status across all active and pipeline deals into a single source of truth for leadership
• Administer corporate and project-level insurance programs — renewals, certificates of insurance, coverage tracking
• Build and maintain the data infrastructure (bond capacity, program terms, deal history, renewal calendars) that lets the function make fast, informed decisions
• Prepare deal-level bonding and insurance summaries for broker and surety negotiations
• Partner with Legal, Finance, and Growth counterparts on the operational side of deal structuring
• Build the processes, templates, and systems that will let the function scale as Giga grows

Requirements

• 5-7+ years of experience in insurance, risk management, or performance bonds/surety
• Working knowledge of and/or related experience with how performance bonds are underwritten, priced, and structured — insurance backgrounds with transferable skills are welcome
• Solid understanding of corporate and project-level insurance programs
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business Administration, or a related field
• Comfortable operating with incomplete information in a fast-moving environment
• Background at a surety company, insurance carrier, or brokerage
• Experience in construction, infrastructure, or industrial/energy sectors
• Industry-specific certifications (e.g., CPCU, ARM, surety bond producer credentials)
• Experience helping build out a risk management function from the ground up
• Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
• Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
• 401(k) with 4% employer match
• Unlimited PTO
• Parental leave
• Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
• Monthly team on-sites where all offices come in-person to collaborate

Who we hire

We hire people who thrive in chaos and get sharper under pressure. You don't wait to be told what to do, you spot the gap and fill it. When there's work to be done, you do it. You make decisions with the information you have, move fast, and adjust along the way. We're not looking for perfect; we're looking for people who get things done.
