Role Overview
Our client, an independent Bahamian loss adjusting firm, is seeking an experienced Managing Director / Principal Adjuster to lead the firm's operations, technical standards, and growth strategy.
Responsibilities
This is a senior, hands-on leadership role combining executive management with direct adjusting on the firm's most complex and highest-value assignments.
This role is based full-time, onsite in Nassau, The Bahamas. We're especially keen to hear from UK-based Chartered Loss Adjusters open to relocating — CAT/hurricane experience gained internationally translates directly, and relocation support will be discussed with the right candidate.
Key Responsibilities:
- Leading the firm's strategic direction, business development, and client relationships across insurers, brokers, and reinsurers in the Bahamian and wider Caribbean market
- Taking personal carriage of major, complex, and catastrophe-related loss assignments — property, liability, engineering/construction, marine, and motor
- Directing hurricane/CAT response: activating surge rosters, triaging high-volume post-storm inspections, and managing field teams across Nassau and the Family Islands
- Overseeing report quality, reserving, settlement negotiation, and file governance
- Managing the firm's financial performance, fee structures, and operational compliance

- CILA or ACII professional designation
- Strong technical report writing, negotiation, and client-facing communication skills
- A background in construction, engineering, law, or finance is an advantage
