Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: Human resources is currently undertaking a job description revision project for all existing job descriptions that were last revised more than 10 years ago. The intention of the project is to ensure that all city job descriptions are in a uniform format, using standard language for job requirements; the review also allows HR to remove any outdated verbiage and make sure that content related to technology or equipment is current. The new classification of risk manager has been created as part of the job description review process and is a reflection of how the city investigator & claims agent position has evolved over the past 20+ years. This new job description reflects an expansion of duties and includes a supervisory role that makes good sense from a risk management perspective, which translates to increased benefit to the city. The risk manager will be responsible for managing the city's risk and liability, subrogation, property, workers' compensation, and safety and health programs. The pay range negotiated for the classification is Range 1100-1115, pay rate of $6,480 to $8,444 per month.
