About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Claims Manager to take ownership of all claims activity both those made against the company and claims the company pursues. This is a hands‑on role with responsibility for managing the full lifecycle of disputes, from initial logging through to resolution, and for driving recoveries where money is owed.

• Ensure all claims and recoveries are managed in line with regulatory requirements, internal policies, and contractual obligations.

Claims Made by the Company

• Draft and send letters to customers in arrears or owing money, ensuring communications are clear, professional, and compliant.
• Submit money claims through the courts for cases where recoveries have been unsuccessful.
• Track and report on the success rates of each recovery stage (letters, claims, hearings, enforcement).
• Provide recommendations on process improvements to maximise recovery success rates.
• Produce simple reporting and claims MI for senior management, highlighting financial impact, trends, and risks.
• Ensure all claims and recoveries are managed in line with regulatory requirements, internal policies, and contractual obligations.
• Support continuous improvement of claims and recoveries processes.

Must-Have Skills & Experience

• Strong written and verbal communication skills for managing sensitive and complex discussions with customers and stakeholders.
• In‑depth understanding of claims processes: intake, investigation, liability assessment, settlement, recovery, and escalation.
• Ability to interpret and apply contract terms and liabilities in a claim's context.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple cases concurrently.
• Experience drafting legal submissions.

Nice to Have

• Previous hands‑on experience in mid‑level claims management (motor, financial services, customer contract disputes or other areas).
• Experience negotiating settlements that balance customer fairness with company objectives.
• Knowledge of debt recovery processes, including pre‑action letters, money claims, and enforcement.
• Experience drafting money claim submissions and attending court hearings independently.
