Director of Safety at Honor in Remote Position

Job description

Honor Technology’s mission is to change the way society cares for older adults. As a leader in aging care innovation, Honor provides the technology, tools, and services that empower older adults to live life on their own terms. Honor’s growing portfolio includes its consumer care brand, Home Instead, Inc., the world’s leading provider of in-home care for older adults. With a global franchise network and more than 100,000 Care Pros, Home Instead delivers over 50 million hours of personalized care annually. Together, Honor and Home Instead are setting a new standard for aging in place, backed by powerful technology, compassionate care, and a commitment to aging on your own terms. Join us to create a new and better aging experience for our clients, their families, and our Care Professionals. About the Role We're hiring a Director of Safety to build and scale safety strategy for our distributed in-home care workforce. In this role, you will own reducing injury rates and severity, reducing workers' compensation spend, and driving a safe environment for clients and Care Professionals (CPs). You'll mine large, ambiguous, and imperfect datasets to surface the risk indicators that actually predict incidents and injuries, then design systemic solutions—built on technology, not just process—that hold up as we grow into new markets and service lines. You'll own the full workers' compensation lifecycle, building durable programs that manage costs more effectively. You will also partner with Product and Engineering to build tools and automation that make safety a scalable advantage rather than a manual, reactive function. The right candidate has built and scaled safety, trust & safety, or risk programs inside a technology-enabled, high-growth, distributed workforce, using data and product thinking to solve problems at scale. You're equally comfortable diving into the details of a single incident investigation and stepping back to design company-wide systems. You think outside the box rather than defaulting to "industry best practice"—you can identify the handful of activities that actually move injury and cost outcomes, build the case for whichever investment they require, and influence outcomes across distributed teams who don't report to you. You can also translate messy, imperfect data into a clear, credible story for leadership. This role is fully remote and can be based anywhere in the U.S. You'll manage your team remotely, so strong written communication and remote coaching skills are essential. As a Director of Safety at Honor, you will: Safety Program Leadership Own the safety operating model and architecture, balancing quick fixes with the larger structural changes the business needs as it scales. Build systemic solutions that address common in-home care hazards: environmental safety, mobility issues, infection control, client behavior, and more. Partner with Product and Engineering to build tools, automation, and product features that reduce risk, and make the case for the investment they require. Develop programs to build a culture of safety among Care Professionals and HQ employees. Workers' Compensation & Incident Management Own the outcome of reducing workers' compensation spend, with end-to-end accountability for strategy and case management. Use data to find the levers that reduce claim cost and cycle time, and build durable programs and tooling that manage costs more effectively when injuries do occur, keeping claims on track at scale. Own vendor management and evaluate alternative models. Lead incident investigations and root cause analysis, and turn findings into corrective action plans that prevent recurrence. Maintain accurate incident records and reporting for leadership. Forecast reserves, build forward-looking budgets, and communicate financial impact to leadership. • Ensure compliance with OSHA and state-specific home care regulations. Data & Culture Own the metrics that make safety and claims performance visible an
