Risk Manager

Risk Manager

RideNow Group is the largest publicly traded powersports dealership network in the United States, operating approximately 50+ locations across multiple states.

The Risk Manager is responsible for building, standardizing, and leading the company's enterprise-wide risk management program, with a primary focus on workers' compensation, claims management, and insurance programs within a self-insured retention (SIR) structure.

Operating within the RideNow Way, this role helps bring consistency, accountability, and operational discipline to overall risk management practices across all locations—ensuring that processes are followed, incidents are handled effectively, and decisions support both employee well-being and business performance.

The position partners closely with Legal, HR, Operations, Brokers, and TPAs to actively manage risk exposure, ensure compliance, and drive accountability at the store level.
