• Policy & Claims Knowledge – Knowledge of motor insurance policies, claims handling procedures and industry best practice, with an understanding of quantum and market agreements/developments.
• Decision Making & Problem Solving – Strong analytical, numerical and judgement skills, with the ability to investigate claims, assess liability and make informed decisions.
• Customer Service & Communication – Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a customer-focused approach and the ability to build effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• Negotiation & Influencing – Strong negotiation and interpersonal skills, capable of achieving fair claim outcomes and positively influencing stakeholders.
• Attention to Detail & Accuracy – High levels of accuracy and attention to detail when reviewing documentation, assessing claims and maintaining records.
• Adaptability & Resilience – Able to thrive in a fast-paced, target-driven environment, managing competing priorities, meeting deadlines and adapting to changing business needs.

What we’ll give you for this role:

• Bike to Work Scheme
• Tax Saver Travel Scheme
• Discounted onsite Gym Membership (Dublin 4)
