Technical Claims Team Lead
- Type: Full-Time
- Location: Remote (UK-based)
- Salary: Circa £60-70k, negotiable for an exceptional candidate
The Company
A fast-scaling insurance claims business is looking for a Technical Claims Team Lead to take ownership of a growing team of specialist claims handlers. The business is expanding at real pace, with growth measured in multiples rather than percentages, and this role carries a level of ownership and visibility you won't find in a large, established insurer. Every employee holds equity, and the culture is genuinely open, with leadership drawn from senior insurance backgrounds at some of the fastest-growing names in fintech.
The Job
- Lead and grow a team of claims handlers, taking full ownership of performance, coaching and people management as the team scales
- Set the standard on KPIs and output, keeping the team performing and improving
- Manage workload allocation and capacity planning to balance productivity with quality
- Run quality checks across claims files and coach the team to continuously raise standards
- Keep close oversight of the wider claims portfolio spanning areas such as complaints, quality assurance, fraud, recoveries and payment controls, flagging risk early
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.
The Person
- Proven claims leadership experience within insurance, with a track record of managing and developing a team
- Strong grounding in complaints handling and quality assurance is essential; experience in fraud, recoveries or payment controls is a bonus
- Breadth across product lines (for example motor, property and travel) is highly valued; a career built entirely on one product line is unlikely to be the right fit
- A background handling high-volume, fast-turnaround claims rather than large or complex loss claims
- TPA experience, or comfort working across multiple accounts and product lines at once, is a strong plus
- Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, scaling business, and happy to learn a new claims platform quickly
- Confident using data to guide decisions and spot trends
- A natural coach, able to lift others' performance and output
- We're equally open to candidates operating above a typical Team Lead level today, if you're looking for room to grow into a bigger scope
