This 'Third Party Administrator - with a difference' is the brain child of several insurance veterans with rich pedigrees in utilising state-of-the-art technology to tackle longstanding problems in the claims industry. Cash rich, it has been backed by a number of specialist VC firms, and has long-term agreements in place with some of the best-known MGA's on the planet. Reporting to the Motor Director, you will lead a number of Team Leaders and Motor Adjusters handling complex Motor claims, ensuring compliance and efficiency throughout. We're looking for a strong people leader with excellent technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and the ability to build a collaborative, high-performing culture. This is a 100% home-based role, where you will be provided with all the tools needed to make a real success of this role (including a top of the range Apple MacBook with additional screens etc), and benefiting from an extremely friendly and supportive team environment. As well as leadership responsibilities, your duties will include, but not be limited to, implementing and maintaining best practices for claims handling, as well as monitoring and analysing claims data to identify trends, patterns, and areas for process improvement. You'll serve as a resource for escalated claims, whilst being responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of all aspects of claim reserving. In addition, you'll execute on performance management (attract, hire, retain and provide high level of training), and also prepare and present comprehensive claims reports, metrics, and analysis to clients and customers. It is essential that you have extensive managerial experience within Motor claims, ideally encompassing Motor Damage losses. As this dynamic firm is seen as somewhat of a 'disrupter' in the claims sector, you must also be dynamic, able to thrive in a fast-paced and constantly-evolving environment, and be willing to challenge the status quo. Equally, as this firm is growing so rapidly, you must be willing to get involved in a variety of different projects and assignments. You will be rewarded with a competitive basic salary ranging from £50K-£55K (Negotiable, depending on experience), together with a range of company benefits, including private healthcare. For the ambitious, the sky really is the limit in this company! With more high-profile insurers being onboarded all the time, there is clearly going to be a myriad of opportunities for progression in the short, medium and longer-term!
