About Reserv

Reserv is an insurtech creating and incubating cutting‑edge AI and automation technology to bring efficiency and simplicity to claims. Founded by insurtech veterans with deep experience in SaaS and digital claims, Reserv is venture‑backed by Bain Capital and Altai Ventures and began operations in May 2022. We are focused on automating highly manual tasks to tackle long‑standing problems in claims and set a new standard for TPAs, insurance technology providers, and adjusters alike.

We have ambitious (but attainable!) goals and need people who can work in an evolving environment. If building a leading TPA and the prospect of tackling the long‑standing challenges of the claims role sounds exciting, we can’t wait to meet you.

What you'll do

• Provide prompt, courteous and high‑quality customer service to all policyholders and claimants by responding to customer inquiries, initiating investigations and resolving customer claims.
• Gather necessary information from customers to initiate the claim and explain policy, coverage, and appropriate course of action.
• Manage an inventory of claims, establish initial reserves for all potential exposures, and adjust as appropriate throughout the claim.
• Coordinate the repair of damaged vehicles and assist with rental reimbursement.
• Recognize recovery opportunities in regards to subrogation and salvage, as well as total loss.
• Ensure compliance with specific state regulations, policy provisions, and standard operating procedures.
• Communicate with involved parties and negotiate appropriate settlements with claimants, insureds, and attorneys within approved payment authority.
• Provide input for continuous development of claims guidelines, best practices, and process improvements.
• Oversee and direct outside investigative service providers and work closely with the client and client counsel and investigative services to resolve the claim.
• Engage in learning opportunities to build knowledge of personal lines claims, court decisions impacting the claims function, current guidelines in claims function, and policy changes and modifications.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree (lack of one should not stop you from applying if you possess all the other qualifications).
• Active insurance adjuster’s license by way of a designated home state, or home state.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience on commercial transportation claims, ideally interstate tractor trailer, dealing with Third‑Party PD/Total Loss.
• Willing to obtain all licenses within 45 days, including completing state required testing.

• Generous family leave policy after 8 months of continuous work.
• Work from anywhere to facilitate your work life balance.
• Apple laptop, large second monitor, and other quality‑of‑life equipment you may want. Technology is something that should make your life easier, not harder!
