• And did we mention, a sense of humor. Claims are hard enough as it is.

• Conduct regular compliance and quality audits of your team members, developing action plans as needed
• Align the team with client and customer expectations of the claims process
• Foster a positive work environment, promote teamwork, and encourage professional growth and development
• Execute on performance management; attract, hire, develop, retain and provide a high level of training
• Collaborate with internal teams, such as Account Management, Compliance, and Claim Operations, to resolve complex or escalated claims-related issues
• Establish and maintain strong relationships with external stakeholders, including policyholders, agents, brokers, and legal representatives
• Prepare and present comprehensive claims reports, metrics, and analysis to clients and customers; advise clients on claim trends and loss mitigation

• Comfortable with technology and the ability to evolve the claims systems and processes to drive better efficiencies and outcomes
• Demonstrated commitment to quality, accuracy, and attention to detail
• Integrity, ethics, and a strong sense of accountability in handling confidential and sensitive information

Benefits

• Generous health-insurance package with nationwide coverage, vision, & dental
• 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching
• Competitive PTO policy – we want our employees fresh, healthy, happy, and energized!
• 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!
