- Turn information into action. Oversee client reports, bordereaux and management information, using claims data and operational trends to identify risks, priorities and opportunities for improvement.
- Support strong financial performance. Maintain appropriate oversight of billing, expenses, time recording and accounts receivable while helping ensure additional client requirements and services are appropriately identified.
- Drive continuous improvement. Look beyond immediate issues to identify ways to improve workflows, reporting, controls and technology, creating a more proactive and sustainable claims operation.

What Success Looks Like
During your first three to six months, you’ll build strong relationships with your team and key clients, develop a clear understanding of account requirements and operational priorities, and establish consistent rhythms around quality, reporting, coaching and client engagement.
You’ll help strengthen accountability within the leadership team, improve visibility into claims and service performance and identify practical opportunities to improve how the operation works.
Over time, your impact will be seen in
a confident and capable team, strong technical and operational discipline, trusted client relationships and a more proactive approach to managing our London Market TPA business.
How We Work
This is a hands-on, collaborative environment where no two days are exactly alike. You’ll move comfortably between complex claims, team leadership, client conversations and operational priorities.
We’re looking for someone who is
approachable and supportive, but comfortable creating accountability. Someone who can step in when their expertise is needed while empowering supervisors and adjusters to own decisions at the appropriate level.
Most importantly, you’ll bring sound judgment, curiosity and a continuous-improvement mindset, looking not only at what needs attention today, but at how we can make our people, processes and client experience stronger for tomorrow.
