This is a really awesome and unique role.  My client is a well respected carrier that is looking for a really strong loss control manager.  They are an organization that has never had a loss control program and are looking for a seasoned manager that can develop the program soup to nuts.  To clarify they are not looking for a field person, rather they are looking for someone that has a strong home office background that knows how to build and manage a staff and create processes and procedures.  They will pay very competitively for this and assist with relocation.

Marketing- coordinates branding and implementation efforts with underwriting, claims and sales for internal and external partners; continue demonstrating the company's expertise in the commercial insurance transportation arena.
Account Management- create useful loss control tools from writing manuals to creating execution in the field; monitor the effectiveness of the program's delivery and risk mitigation.
Management- Set up the company's internal infrastructure, from reporting and Best Practices techniques to communication with other business units to the initial advertising about loss control resources to agents.
