• Lead and participate in claim review meetings; analyze trends and present insights to internal and external stakeholders.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with brokers, insureds, and risk managers to deliver high‑quality, tailored service.

Internal Collaboration

• Partner closely with Underwriting, Risk Management, and Customer Service teams to ensure alignment with broader business objectives.
• Provide insights on claims trends, emerging risks, and loss drivers to inform underwriting strategy and product development.
• Contribute to cross‑functional initiatives to enhance operational effectiveness.

Process Optimization & Compliance

• Drive continuous improvement in claims handling processes, workflows, and best practices.
• Ensure full compliance with Coaction Claim Handling Guidelines and Protocols, as well as all applicable regulatory requirements and NAIC guidance.
• Maintain strong documentation and audit readiness standards.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree or professional designations (e.g., CPCU, AIC, JD) preferred.
• 10+ years of experience handling complex Professional Liability claims.
• Demonstrated expertise in Fidelity Bond, E&O, EPL, and D&O claims (primary and excess experience strongly preferred).
• Strong knowledge of policy language interpretation, coverage analysis, and litigation management.
• Proven ability to manage large, complex claims with significant financial exposure.
• Experience working with defense counsel, experts, and third‑party administrators.
• High attention to detail and commitment to quality and compliance.
