About The Position

We’re determined to make a difference and are proud to be an insurance company that goes well beyond coverages and policies. Working here means having every opportunity to achieve your goals – and to help others accomplish theirs, too. Join our team as we help shape the future. At The Hartford, our Risk Services organization exists to help people and businesses thrive by working directly with customers to assess risk, improve resilience, and deliver practical risk mitigation solutions that make a measurable difference. We partner with customers throughout their lifecycle to identify exposures, reduce losses, and strengthen operational performance—combining consultative expertise, technology enabled risk solutions, and data driven insights to improve outcomes before and after a loss. By integrating risk assessment, prevention, and recovery with the broader insurance experience, we help customers protect what matters most while building trust, long-term value, and sustainable advantages for both our customers and our enterprise. As a Field Consultant, you will serve as a trusted risk advisor who partners with customers, underwriters, and distribution partners to identify and mitigate risk while supporting profitable growth. In this role, the consultant conducts multi‑line risk assessments and surveys, delivers practical, data‑driven risk mitigation services, and translates complex exposures into clear insights that inform underwriting decisions and customer actions. By collaborating closely with underwriting and participating in sales, renewal, and stewardship engagements, the field consultant helps differentiate The Hartford in the marketplace by demonstrating how proactive risk engineering, prevention strategies, and tailored solutions improve customer resilience, loss outcome. Join us to continuously learn, expand your technical and consultative capabilities, and shape the future of risk engineering while delivering meaningful outcomes for customers and the enterprise. This role offers a remote or hybrid work arrangement, with the expectation of coming into an office as business needs arise. This role offers a remote work arrangement but requires the candidate to reside in Southern, CA to effectively support regional operations, clients, and partners. Job requires travel for client site surveys and/or agency meeting/presentations. Travel could involve car and air travel (estimate 20-40%). This position can be hired at various levels depending upon background and experience.
