About the Role: The Vice President of Safety & Risk Management is the organization's enterprise-wide safety, risk management, regulatory compliance and loss prevention strategy across corporate and franchise operations. As a key member of the leadership team, this individual will serve as a strategic business partner, organizational change agent, and trusted advisor to executive leadership. The VP will be responsible for transforming safety and risk management from a primarily reactive function into a proactive, data-driven business discipline that directly contributes to financial performance, franchise success, operational excellence, and brand reputation. Success in this role requires an executive who can balance big-picture strategic thinking with operational realities, translate complex risk exposures into actionable business strategies, and influence stakeholders across a decentralized franchise system.

- Develop and execute a comprehensive, multi-year enterprise safety and risk management strategy aligned with the organization's growth objectives, financial priorities, and long-term business vision.
- Serve as a strategic advisor to executive leadership, providing insight into emerging risks, regulatory developments, insurance exposure, and operational vulnerabilities that could impact business performance.
- Establish an enterprise risk management framework that identifies, prioritizes, and mitigates risks across corporate operations, franchise locations, transportation, and emerging business initiatives.
- Partner with senior leadership to evaluate the risk implications of new markets, service offerings, business expansion, and organizational initiatives.
- Translate complex safety, regulatory, and insurance data into actionable executive-level recommendations that support informed decision-making.
- Champion a proactive, prevention-focused safety culture that aligns operational accountability with financial and business outcomes.
Strategic Risk Management & Financial Performance
- Lead strategies designed to reduce the total cost of risk, including insurance premiums, claims frequency and severity, workers' compensation expenses, litigation exposure, and uninsured losses.
- Partner with Finance, Legal, Operations, insurance brokers, carriers, and third-party administrators to optimize insurance structures, coverage strategies, and risk financing decisions.
- Analyze historical claims data, loss trends, and emerging exposures to develop predictive risk models and proactive mitigation strategies.
- Develop financial models and business cases that demonstrate the return on investment of safety programs, technology, training, and risk mitigation initiatives.
Enterprise Safety Governance & Regulatory Strategy
- Establish and oversee an enterprise-wide safety governance framework that ensures consistent standards, accountability, and regulatory readiness across corporate and franchise operations.
- Provide executive oversight of compliance with applicable DOT, FMCSA, OSHA, and state transportation regulations, as well as workers' compensation and other relevant requirements.
- Ensure appropriate systems and controls are established for driver qualification files, motor vehicle records, drug and alcohol testing, hours of service, electronic logging devices, vehicle maintenance, and transportation registration requirements.
- Oversee enterprise audit strategies, regulatory assessments, and corrective action programs.
- Serve as an executive-level representative in significant regulatory matters, high-impact investigations, and strategic compliance discussions.
Fleet Safety, Technology & Operational Innovation
- Establish the strategic vision for fleet safety and transportation risk management across moving, junk removal, and other transportation-related operations.
- Evaluate and champion technology solutions, including telematics, driver monitoring systems, predictive analytics, and safety management platforms, that improve operational performance and reduce risk exposure.

- Collaborate with Training & Development to incorporate safety leadership, risk awareness, and accountability into franchise onboarding and operational training programs.
- Develop scalable resources, performance tools, and support structures that enable franchise owners to proactively manage risk within their businesses.
- Influence franchise partners through education, data-driven insights, relationship building, and demonstrated business value rather than relying solely on compliance enforcement.
Data Analytics, Performance Measurement & Executive Reporting
- Establish enterprise-wide safety and risk management KPIs that directly connect operational performance to financial outcomes.
- Develop executive dashboards, scorecards, and reporting frameworks that provide meaningful visibility into risk exposure, loss trends, and strategic progress.
- Establish performance benchmarks across corporate and franchise operations to identify best practices and areas requiring additional support.
Crisis Management, Business Continuity & Brand Protection
- Provide executive oversight and strategic direction during significant safety incidents, catastrophic losses, regulatory investigations, and other high-impact events.
- Establish enterprise-wide crisis response and escalation frameworks that protect team members, customers, company assets, and brand reputation.
- Partner with Legal, Human Resources, Operations, and executive leadership to coordinate responses to significant incidents and potential litigation.
- Oversee root cause analysis and ensure organizational learning is translated into meaningful improvements.

Tips for Your Risk and Safety Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume to the industry
Risk and safety managers in construction are evaluated differently than those in healthcare or chemical manufacturing. Reframe your resume for each sector, foregrounding the regulations, incident types, and inspection frameworks that matter most to that employer.
Lead with certifications above experience
Hiring managers for these roles scan for credentials first. Put your CSP, ASP, OSHA 30, or CIH certification in your resume header or summary line so it's visible before recruiters read a single bullet point.
Quantify safety outcomes, not just duties
Avoid listing responsibilities. Instead, cite measurable results: reductions in TRIR or DART rates, number of audits completed without citations, or training programs you built and the headcount they covered. Numbers turn generic experience into evidence.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists risk and safety manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare for scenario-based interview questions
Interviewers in this field routinely ask how you handled a near-miss, led a root-cause analysis, or managed pushback from operations managers on a safety protocol. Rehearse two or three specific incidents with a clear outcome and what you changed afterward.
Negotiate scope, not just compensation
When you receive an offer, ask about reporting structure, budget authority, and whether the role owns safety policy or only enforces it. These factors determine how much real influence you'll have and are easier to negotiate before you accept than after.
Risk and Safety Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most risk and safety managers?
OpenAI, Amazon, and Metropolitan Transportation Authority are hiring the most risk and safety managers right now, with openings concentrated in California, Texas, and Massachusetts, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially consistent in construction, logistics, and energy companies with large hourly workforces subject to frequent regulatory audits.
How many risk and safety manager jobs are remote?
About 74% of risk and safety manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most roles in this field. Sub-areas such as EHS compliance program management, policy writing, and corporate risk reporting tend to offer the most flexibility for off-site work.
How do you become a risk and safety manager?
Start with a bachelor's degree in occupational safety, environmental health, industrial hygiene, or engineering. Gain field experience as a safety coordinator or EHS specialist, then pursue a credential such as the ASP and later the CSP. Building a record of measurable outcomes, like reduced incident rates or successful regulatory audits, is what moves candidates into manager-level roles.
Can you get hired as a risk and safety manager without much experience?
Entry points typically require at least some field exposure, but roles labeled coordinator or specialist serve as stepping stones. Completing an OSHA 30-hour course, volunteering to run safety committee meetings at a current job, and earning the ASP credential early all signal seriousness to hiring managers when formal experience is limited.
What does the risk and safety manager interview process look like?
Most processes include a phone screen with HR focused on credentials and industry background, followed by a technical interview with an EHS director or operations leader who asks about specific incidents you've managed, regulatory knowledge, and how you handle resistance from production teams. Final rounds often include a site walkthrough or a case-study exercise involving a mock incident or audit finding.
Where can I find and apply to risk and safety manager jobs?
You can find and apply to risk and safety manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your industry background, seniority level, and location preference, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
