Motor Claims Manager (Home-Based) - London Job Type: Permanent Sector: General Insurance Specialism: Claims, General Management, Senior Appointments Location: London & South Town/City: London Salary range: £40, 000 - £49, 999, £50, 000 - £59, 999 Salary Description: to £55K plus benefits Posted: 17-Sep-25 Start Date: ASAP Recruiter: Aston Charles Job Ref: RJ-3122TM Job Views: 29 A true 'digital disrupter', this cutting-edge Insurtech is turning the claims landscape on its head; challenging the status quo and the previously accepted norms - and delivering fantastic customer outcomes as a result! 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!

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.

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.

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!

This multi-site, independent firm is a huge success story, and has achieved unrivalled growth since its formation within the last 5 years. Backed by a well-known insurance entrepreneur ,who has a phenomenal track record of building hugely successful insurance businesses, there could not be a more exciting time to join the company. Reporting to the Claims Director, you'll assume the No.2 claims position within the country. In this client-facing role, you will be responsible for dealing with some of the most complex and contentious claims, as well as overseeing more straight-forward losses for key clients. The company enjoys a seriously impressive client list, and you will be dealing with a variety of claims spanning a range of industry sectors, such as Construction, Manufacturing, Property Owners, Motor Trade, Retail and Distribution. With the support of colleagues from across the Claims Division, you will help investigate the nature of claims, keeping your clients abreast of developments as the claims progress, and endeavouring to secure fair and prompt settlement under the policy terms. Working in close conjunction with Account Executives and Account Directors, you will also help manage relationships with your clients, providing ongoing, consultative advice. This will include duties such as holding regular claims review meetings, conducting presentations to clients on what to do in the event of a loss, presenting useful case studies to the insured, collating and presenting vital claims MI, and analysing trends in order to mitigate future losses. Refreshingly, you'll be able to make a real difference when it comes to shaping the future direction of the claims operation, as it continues to develop in line with further office openings and new client service offerings. As well as technical claims duties, you will also have responsibility for a team of 4 claims staff within the team.

We will consider applicants from a range of backgrounds, including broker, insurer, loss adjusting or risk management environments. You must be a credible company ambassador who can manage relationships with a variety of stakeholders, and confident when dealing with people from all walks of life; from the board room to the shop floor. You should also be comfortable working with detailed management information and producing a variety of reports. Whilst the majority of this broker's clients are based within the North, (and this is where the bulk of the claims will arise), many customers will have operations further afield, requiring some travelling on occasion. It is anticipated that you will be in the office twice a week, but you will be granted a great deal of autonomy in regard to how you plan your diary. The board of this firm are extremely well-renowned for rewarding and promoting its staff, and the sky really is the limit in terms of your progression. You'll enjoy working for a firm that believes in celebrating its ongoing successes, as well as finically rewarding dedicated employees. You will receive a generous basic salary, lucrative bonus, and a comprehensive range of company benefits.
