At Zego, we understand that traditional motor insurance holds good drivers back. It's too complicated, too expensive, and it doesn't reflect how well you actually drive. Since 2016, we have been on a mission to change that by offering the lowest priced insurance for good drivers.

From van drivers and gig workers to everyday car drivers, our customers are the driving force behind everything we do. We've sold tens of millions of policies and raised over $200 million in funding and picked up numerous awards, including the Insurance Claims Team Of The Year 2024 as awarded at The Insurance Post's Claims & Fraud Awards. And we're only just getting started.

As a Large Loss Handler you'll also be acting as a technical referral point to provide coaching, mentoring, and training to the claims handling teams.

What you will be doing

• Manage a personal portfolio of complex and high value motor cases
• Communicate effectively with customers, witnesses, insurers, repairers, solicitors, and medical agencies to expedite claim resolutions
• Serve as a technical expert within the team, offering guidance and support in large loss scenarios
• Maintain Reinsurer and carrier relationships through timely and accurate updates
• Participate in strategic projects to keep the team at the forefront of industry trends and performance

What you will need to be successful

• Proven experience handling Third Party and high value motor claims, specificallythose in excess of £100k
• Strong knowledge of indemnity and liability, familiar with Civil Procedure Rules, Serious Injury Guide, The Rehabilitation Code, and litigation procedures
• Strong knowledge of OIC/MOJ
• Good experience in handling Personal Injury and Credit Hire claims.
• A passion for a career in Large Loss, with a commitment to ongoing technical development
