The Role

We’re seeking an experienced Director of Risk & Compliance to lead and strengthen Tundra’s global risk and governance framework, with a primary focus on the U.S. market. This role oversees compliance, insurance, workers’ compensation, and enterprise risk across all regions where Tundra operates, balancing growth with safety and regulatory integrity.
Given the complexity of Tundra’s workforce model, the ideal candidate will have experience in large staffing, PEO, or MSP environments, managing compliance and risk for high volumes of workers across multiple jurisdictions. A critical focus will be staying ahead of evolving U.S. labor regulations and emerging global laws related to AI-enabled recruitment and workforce technologies, ensuring Tundra remains compliant while advancing its ISO certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 14001, and ISO/IEC 42001 for AI management systems).
This role carries significant cross-functional influence, partnering globally with HR, Legal, Operations, IT, and Finance to uphold governance, ensure responsible AI use, and drive continuous improvement.

Liability & Insurance Program Management

• Oversee General Liability, Professional Liability/Tech E&O, EPLI, Cyber, Auto, and Excess or Umbrella programs; set limits, endorsements, deductibles or retentions, and collateral with brokers.
• Review client MSAs and SOWs for indemnity, waiver of subrogation, additional insured, primary and non-contributory, and COI obligations; operate a COI tracking program for clients, vendors, and subcontractors with remediation of expirations.
• Lead multi-state WC strategy, including class code accuracy, experience mod management, audit readiness, and broker/carrier relationships

Workplace Safety & Compliance

• Build a scalable Safety Management System aligned to OSHA (29 CFR), including JHAs or JSAs, PPE, LOTO, fall protection, forklift or MEWP, confined space, bloodborne pathogens, ergonomics, and heat or cold exposure.
• Conduct pre-placement reviews and periodic worksite audits; issue corrective action plans; maintain OSHA 300, 300A, and 301 logs, required postings, and abatement plans; deliver new-hire, assignment-specific, and annual safety training, including near-miss and stop-work programs.

Risk Strategy & Governance

• Define risk appetite and acceptance criteria for new job categories, worksites, and clients; develop a risk-scoring model using severity, frequency, and controllability.
• Chair a cross-functional Risk Review Council to approve or decline job types and high-risk requisitions; maintain the Enterprise Risk Register and Risk Acceptance Matrix; report quarterly to executive leadership.

Operational Controls & Enablement

• Partner with Sales and Recruiting to gate high-risk roles using decision trees and, where appropriate, pricing surcharges; ensure DOT or FMCSA compliance for driving roles.
• Collaborate with Payroll and HR on classification, wage and hour compliance, and EOR or PEO nuances by state.
• Implement an RMIS and dashboards; integrate with ATS such as Bullhorn and HCM for real-time risk flags.

Audits & Reporting

• Lead internal audits and external regulatory/ISO audits; provide regular risk and compliance dashboards to leadership.
• Run quarterly loss-run reviews and stewardship reports with brokers or carriers; drive reserves accuracy and closure strategy.

Who You Are

• You have 8+ years of experience in risk management, compliance, or legal governance, ideally within staffing, PEO, MSP, or HR services environments managing large, multi-region worker populations.
• You have deep knowledge of workers’ compensation, liability and insurance program management, work safety, and compliance across the U.S. and Canada.
• You have proven experience overseeing General Liability, Professional Liability/Tech E&O, EPLI, Auto, and Excess programs, including broker and carrier management.

• You are an excellent communicator who can influence senior stakeholders and translate compliance requirements into actionable business practices.
• You are analytical, detail-oriented, and confident using RMIS, incident reporting tools, and BI dashboards to inform decisions and drive results.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certifications such as ARM, CRM, CSP, CHST, AIC, WCP, CCEP, or OSHA 30 (General Industry or Construction) preferred.
• Experience supporting or maintaining ISO certifications (9001, 27001, 14001, and 42001).
