Commercial Claims Handler
Top Insurance Company
RJ-3178
Leeds
Salary negotiable, plus lucrative bonus
It should be no surprise that when this dynamic insurer decided to build a London Market Claims Team in the UK regions, it plumped for Leeds – it has been established locally for over 20 years, already boasts a significant claims team that comprises many of the region’s most gifted insurance professionals, and has recently invested significantly in the acquisition of penthouse offices in perhaps Leeds’ most prestigious office addresses.
It is arguably the most exciting insurance company in the market right now, using ingenuity combined with technical expertise and cutting-edge technology to underwrite risks that other insurers shy away from. This ‘can do’ attitude, coupled with an unwavering focus on client service, is serving it well; the business is currently enjoying 20% year on year growth, and is well on track to exceed its plans to double in size within 5 years.
Responsibilities
Working in this new team, you will be handling specialist Professional Indemnity claims from a range of industry sectors such as Solicitors, Architects, Engineers and Consultants. You’ll take responsibility for handling a portfolio of high-volume claims from first notification of loss through to final settlement. You’ll update in-house and London market claim related systems in relation to individual claims and ensure stakeholders are kept apprised of key developments and key information. In addition, you’ll diarise and triage claims as required by the Claims Handling Manual and subject these decisions to regular challenge and review. You’ll also develop and maintain excellent working relationships with brokers, as well as working with the Claims Manager on claims initiatives and projects to reach specific goals.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
