Your new role
In this role, you will be responsible for managing a range of claims from initial notification through to final settlement across Motor, Property and Liability. You'll be expected to respond promptly to new claims, set up files, and gather all necessary documentation to support resolution. Where appropriate, you will appoint external experts such as loss adjusters, engineers, and legal advisors to assist in the claims process. Communication with brokers, policyholders, and other stakeholders will be a key part of your day-to-day responsibilities, ensuring that claims are handled efficiently and with a commercially minded approach.

You will also be expected to maintain accurate records, ensure all correspondence is properly filed within the digital claim's system, and escalate any material concerns to senior team members. Attendance at internal and external claims meetings may be required, and you'll be encouraged to contribute to the continuous improvement of claims practices.

A solid understanding of SME policy wording is essential, along with strong technical knowledge in motor claims and exposure to property or liability lines. You'll need to be confident working with figures and comfortable engaging with a range of stakeholders, including brokers, policyholders, and external experts.

Strong interpersonal and communication skills are vital, as is a high level of attention to detail and accuracy. You should be willing to take ownership of your work and demonstrate accountability in your decision-making. Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications such as Outlook, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint is expected, and you'll receive full training on internal systems and products to support your success in the role.
