A true ‘digital disrupter’, this cutting-edge Insurtech is turning the claims landscape on its head; challenging the status quo and the previously accepted norms – and delivering fantastic customer outcomes as a result!

This ‘Third Party Administrator – with a difference’ is the brain child of several insurance veterans with rich pedigrees in utilising state-of-the-art technology to tackle longstanding problems in the claims industry. Cash rich, it has been backed by a number of specialist VC firms, and has long-term agreements in place with some of the best-known MGA’s on the planet.

This is a 100% home-based role, where you will be provided with all the tools needed to make a real success of this role (including a top of the range Apple MacBook with additional screens etc), and benefiting from an extremely friendly and supportive team environment.

Due to having long-term deals in place with a number of MGA’s (each with diverse books of business), the need has arisen to appoint a Motor Claims Team Leader. Here, you will be responsible for overseeing a team of up to 7 ADTP Motor Claims Handlers. Your managerial duties will include training, development and coaching, allocating workloads, acting as an escalation point for complaints, and file /audit checking to ensure compliance. Whilst you will not be handling your own caseload, you will be a referral point for more complex / contentious claims.

It is essential that you have extensive experience within Motor Third Party Damage claims. You must also have strong managerial skills, and the ability to add value in a friendly and supportive environment where a fully remote-based team enjoy working to shared goals and objectives. As this dynamic firm is seen as somewhat of a ‘disrupter’ in the sometimes rather staid TPA claims sector, you must also be dynamic, able to thrive in a fast-paced and constantly-evolving environment, and be willing to challenge the status quo. Equally, as this firm is growing so rapidly, you must be willing to get involved in a variety of different projects and assignments.

You will be rewarded with a competitive basic salary, together with a range of company benefits, including support towards professional qualifications. For the ambitious, the sky really is the limit in this company! With more high-profile MGA’s being onboarded all the time, there is clearly going to be a myriad of opportunities for progression in the short, medium and longer term!
