This role offers the opportunity to make a visible impact across the Claims function. You will translate claims data into clear, actionable insight; support informed decisions on workload and resources; and help identify practical opportunities for AI, automation and digital tools. You will also provide technical oversight and guidance, contribute to continuous improvement and support the delivery of a market-leading claims service that provides great service and value for customers.
