Building strong relationships will be an important part of the role. You’ll communicate with clients, insurers, brokers, insured parties, claimants, solicitors and experts, providing clear, commercially focused updates and recommendations throughout the life of a claim. You’ll take ownership of your files, maintaining clear strategies, action plans and accurate records while delivering against agreed service levels and regulatory requirements.
As a senior member of the team, you’ll also share your technical knowledge with colleagues, provide support on more challenging claims and contribute to file reviews, technical discussions and continuous improvement initiatives. You’ll keep your knowledge of casualty claims, relevant legislation and market developments up to date, helping us maintain consistently high technical and service standards across the team.
