Job description

$75k – $95k Base + Bonus | Risk Management Associate | Class A Owner / Developer | Northern New Jersey

• Operational risk and insurance role within an institutional Class A owner / developer portfolio
• Direct partnership with the firm’s Risk Manager and senior corporate leadership
• Exposure to insurance program management, claims oversight, and portfolio-wide risk initiatives
• Corporate role supporting high-quality office and mixed-use assets across the region

We see this suiting a detail‑oriented Risk Management Associate who understands insurance fundamentals and wants broader exposure to portfolio‑level risk strategy within an institutional ownership environment. This is not purely an administrative coordination role — it’s hands‑on involvement in insurance, claims, and operational risk oversight supporting a sophisticated real‑estate platform.

The portfolio consists of institutionally owned Class A commercial assets operating at high operational and compliance standards. Accurate documentation, disciplined insurance administration, and strong coordination with internal teams and external brokers are essential.
