Job description

The Claims Team Lead role is intended for an experienced claims professional who can independently manage core claims work while also supporting the day-to-day coordination, coaching, and operational discipline of a claims team. This role bridges senior individual contributor responsibilities and entry-level people leadership. The colleague is expected to serve as a first point of guidance for less experienced team members, help prioritize work, support consistent claim handling practices, and elevate complex or non-routine matters to the appropriate leader.
Responsibilities:

• Review, investigate, and resolve transportation claims for loss, damage, shortage, delay, or related customer concerns within defined procedures, contractual terms, and applicable claim handling guidelines.
• Respond professionally to written and verbal inquiries from customers, internal stakeholders, carriers, stations, insurers, and other relevant parties.
• Gather and evaluate claim documentation, including bills of lading, delivery records, invoices, photographs, inspection results, repair or replacement estimates, customer statements, carrier responses, and other supporting material.
• Coordinate inspections, salvage review, mitigation efforts, and subrogation activity when appropriate.
• Support consistent claim file quality by reviewing documentation completeness, claim rationale, reserve or settlement support, denials, approvals, and system updates.
• Run, review, and distribute operational reports to help identify aged claims, workflow gaps, productivity trends, escalation needs, or compliance concerns.
• Assist with day-to-day prioritization of team workload, including helping less experienced colleagues understand urgency, next steps, and required documentation.
• Provide coaching, mentoring, and technical guidance to claims colleagues while escalating performance, policy, legal, or high-risk matters to the appropriate manager.
• Participate in claim reviews, audits, process discussions, and continuous improvement efforts aimed at improving accuracy, consistency, cycle time, customer experience, and recoveries.
• Partner with leadership, legal, compliance, customer experience, operations, and commercial stakeholders on complex claims, disputes, escalations, or recurring claim trends.
• Help identify process improvements, training needs, and practical methods for improving claim handling quality and reducing avoidable rework.
• Perform other job-related duties as required to support business needs, workload balancing, absence coverage, and operational continuity.
  

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience in claims, transportation, logistics, insurance, customer service, or a related field.
• Proven ability to independently manage claims and resolve complex issues.
• Strong knowledge of claims handling principles, investigations, customer communication, and dispute resolution.
• Experience coaching, mentoring, or informally leading colleagues preferred.
• Strong analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and claims management systems.
• Bachelor's degree preferred or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
