Job description

Do you know how to move claims forward, challenge reserves, coordinate return-to-work efforts, and identify opportunities to reduce claim lifecycle costs? As the Claims Operations Manager, you will own the day-to-day administration and strategic handling of U.S. claims across workers' compensation and casualty lines, including auto, general liability, property, and cargo/logistics. Reporting to the Associate General Counsel, you will serve as the first-line decision owner for routine and mid-level matters, partner closely with Safety, HR, Operations, Finance, insurers, third-party administrators (TPAs), and brokers, and elevate material legal, coverage, financial, or reputational risk as appropriate.

Work Location: Remote within the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, or Philadelphia area specifically would be ideal. We are looking to hire for this position with a start date 1/2027.

Travel Requirements: Up to 20% company paid for travel (once per quarter)

Work Schedule: M-F 8AM-5PM

Compensation: $70,000 - $80,000 per year based on individual experience plus a yearly performance-based bonus, along with comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) with company matching, generous PTO, sick time, and company holidays.

This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.

What You'll Own

• Own day-to-day management of the U.S. non-litigated claims portfolio, including workers' compensation, auto liability, general liability, property, cargo/logistics, and other assigned insured or retained losses.
• Triage new incidents and claims, ensure timely and accurate reporting, preserve evidence, confirm required notices, and determine the appropriate handling pathway under company procedures and insurance programs.
• Serve as the first-line decision owner for routine and mid-level claims within delegated authority and promptly elevate severe injuries, fatalities, significant exposures, litigation, coverage disputes, large reserve or settlement issues, and other material or precedent-setting matters to the Associate General Counsel.
• Manage carrier, TPA, broker, and vendor performance through clear expectations, regular file reviews, disciplined follow-up, service-level accountability, and escalation of responsiveness or quality issues.
• Drive workers' compensation outcomes through active oversight of compensability, treatment, nurse case management, independent medical examinations, wage information, restrictions, modified duty, lost-time status, and return-to-work planning.
• Partner with site HR, Safety, and Operations to obtain complete claim information, document transitional-duty opportunities, address barriers to return to work, and elevate repeated site-level gaps.
• Review reserves, incurred values, medical and indemnity development, litigation posture, and aging; challenge unsupported reserve changes and identify opportunities for earlier resolution or closure.
• Develop settlement evaluations and recommendations, coordinate negotiations with adjusters and counsel, and obtain required approvals for settlements outside delegated authority.
• Manage non-workers' compensation casualty claims by evaluating coverage, deductibles, reportability, liability facts, damages, third-party demands, and appropriate use of insurers, brokers, or direct resolution pathways.
• Identify and pursue subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, salvage, and other recovery opportunities while preserving evidence and applicable rights.
• Monitor reservations of rights, coverage questions, denials, and significant insurer disputes; coordinate with the Insurance/Risk Manager and elevate material coverage issues to Legal.
• Maintain complete, accurate, and timely claim records in the company's claims management systems, including diaries, status notes, reserves, litigation indicators, settlement data, and closure documentation.
• Produce recurring dashboards and claim reviews covering frequency, severity, reserve movement, aging, closure, litigation, return-to-work performance, carrier/TPA performance, and emerging trends for Legal, Safety, HR, Finance, and leadership.
• Develop and improve claim-reporting procedures, playbooks, escalation protocols, and training for sites and corporate partners to improve consistency, data quality, and early intervention.
• As needed, support litigated claims with the Associate General Counsel by coordinating claim files, carrier strategy, discovery support, witnesses, deadlines, and implementation of agreed legal strategy.
• Collaborate with the Insurance/Risk Manager, Employment Counsel, Legal Administrator, Safety, HR, Finance, and Operations to create clean handoffs, avoid duplication, and ensure the right matters reach Legal leadership at the right time.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
