Claims Adjuster – London Market (PFR)
Leeds
Salary + annual bonus + exceptional benefits package
Make your mark at Markel
If you’re a Claims professional who wants to grow, contribute ideas, and be part of a supportive and ambitious team, this is your chance to join one of the leading London Market Claims teams right here in Leeds.
Insurance to us is more than a policy. It’s a promise, one that helps people rebuild, push forward, and take opportunities with confidence. At Markel, you’ll be part of a global community of problem solvers, optimists, and people who genuinely enjoy what they do. And we’d love you to be part of it!
The opportunity:
We’re expanding our Leeds-based London Market Claims team, which supports and works closely with our London colleagues across three key lines of business:
- Marine Liability
- Energy (including Renewables)
- Professional & Financial Risks (PFR)
- Professional Indemnity
The role will see you handling higher volume, lower-value claims, forming a vital part of Markel’s Claims Value Proposition. You’ll be aligned to one of the specialist lines but will collaborate widely across the team and London Market partners.
Whether you already have early claims experience or are looking to build London Market exposure, this is a fantastic development opportunity offering real progression and hands-on responsibility.
What you’ll be doing:
- Managing your own portfolio of London Market claims from first notification to settlement
- Triaging, diarising and reviewing cases, applying Markel’s reserving and claims philosophies
- Updating in-house and London Market systems with accuracy and attention to detail
- Building trusted relationships with brokers, (re)insureds, third-party providers, and co-insurers
- Monitoring performance of TPAs, lawyers, adjusters and raising issues where needed
- Collaborating with internal teams including Underwriting, Actuarial and Outwards Reinsurance
- Providing insights, trends and input into monthly/quarterly reporting
- Playing an active role in shaping improvements, processes, and team initiatives
