Job description

The role asks for a seasoned subrogation leader to own the whole recovery function, from spotting opportunities through negotiation, arbitration, litigation and collection. A strong candidate brings deep property and casualty recovery experience, solid automobile claims knowledge, and a record of lifting net recoveries and shortening cycle times. It also calls for hands on leadership: building and coaching a team, setting file standards, managing outside counsel and vendors, and reporting results clearly to clients and leadership.

How it fits the AI era

Much of the routine work in recovery, such as intake, file triage, deadline tracking and reporting, is the kind of thing AI can speed up and make more consistent. The judgment calls stay human: assessing liability, weighing whether a pursuit is worth the expense, negotiating settlements and directing litigation. This role sits where those two sides meet, shaping how automation and analytics support a recovery team rather than replace its decisions.

How it builds AI experience

The job offers a chance to work with engineering teams on practical automation, analytics and better recovery identification inside a claims system. Building that experience means learning how recovery data flows, where leakage happens, and how reporting and workflows can be improved with tooling. Familiarity with claims technology or workflow automation is listed as a plus, which is a reasonable starting point for someone new to AI assisted claims work.
