Insurance Claims Manager
Overview
The Insurance Claims Manager serves as the primary liaison between the company, its clients, and insurance carrier partners—ensuring a seamless, high‑quality claims experience from first notice of loss through final resolution. This role requires deep expertise in P&C insurance coverage and claims management, paired with strong client advocacy and the ability to maintain productive, long‑term relationships with carriers and agency partners. As a subject matter expert, the Claims Manager provides guidance on coverage interpretation, claims strategy, and resolution approaches while supporting both internal stakeholders and external clients. The position is highly client‑facing and requires the ability to clearly communicate complex claims scenarios, including claim status, denials, dispute resolution, and escalation paths. Beyond day‑to‑day claims handling, this role plays a strategic role in analyzing claims trends—such as loss types, severity, and geographic patterns—and translating insights into recommendations that influence underwriting strategy, product design, and operational processes. The Claims Manager also contributes to the development and execution of production and profitability strategies across insurance programs. The ideal candidate operates with a high degree of independence, sound judgment, and professionalism—particularly when navigating complex, sensitive, or high‑exposure claims in a regulated insurance environment.
