Claims Director
UK Wide with travel to London
A growing and entrepreneurial insurance business is seeking an experienced Claims Director to take ownership of its entire claims function across a specialist commercial motor portfolio, alongside wider commercial liability and property exposures.
This is a genuinely influential leadership role within a lean, commercially focused business where claims performance plays a critical part in underwriting profitability, customer outcomes, and long-term growth strategy.
The position will suit an individual who combines strong technical claims expertise with commercial awareness, operational oversight, and a highly hands-on approach.
Rather than managing a large in-house claims department, the successful individual will oversee all outsourced claims operations and third-party supplier relationships, ensuring performance, governance, and service standards are consistently achieved across the portfolio.
The Opportunity
This role requires someone capable of operating both strategically and operationally.
You will work closely with senior leadership, underwriting, and external partners, taking responsibility for claims philosophy, supplier management, governance frameworks, and performance analysis across the business.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
A key part of the role will involve understanding the detail behind claims handling processes, identifying leakage, challenging supplier performance, and using data insight to influence profitability and decision-making.
Responsibilities will include:
- Oversight and management of all TPAs and external claims suppliers
- Monitoring claims performance, leakage, and indemnity spend
- Producing and analyzing detailed MI and statistical reporting
- Influencing reserving strategy and understanding reserve development trends
- Managing fraud, credit hire, and large loss strategies
- Supporting underwriting profitability through claims insight and analysis
- Supplier governance, audits, and performance management
- Maintaining strong customer and regulatory outcomes
The Individual
The successful candidate will most likely come from an MGA, insurer, or delegated authority environment and possess broad technical claims knowledge across motor, liability, and property classes.
This is not a role suited to someone who has spent their career operating within narrow silos.

The ideal individual will:

- Be highly analytical and comfortable working closely with data and financial reporting
- Understand reserving movements, leakage trends, and performance metrics
- Be capable of operating autonomously within a lean business environment

The business values individuals who are commercially minded, accountable, and capable of building trusted relationships internally and externally.
