Time Type:

Full time

Working Pattern:

Purpose of the Role

We are currently seeking a Senior Claims Adjuster to join our well-established and market-leading Claims team. This individual will be responsible for managing claims for all property classes (encompassing Open Market Property, Binders, & Utilities), as well as Political Violence & Terrorism and Accident & Health classes of business.

The Senior Claims Handler will be responsible for investigating, evaluating and negotiating a portfolio of complex claims, whilst supporting less experienced members of the team. This position is ideal for a confident, driven individual, who is looking to take on new responsibilities within a dynamic, high‑performing Syndicate.

Duties and Accountabilities

• Proactively and effectively manage claims, ranging in complexity, within a pre‑determined authority level in accordance with AEGIS London’s Claims commitment, philosophy and procedures
• Be responsible for ensuring all claims within your class are managed, progressed and resolved in a timely manner, whilst adhering to internal and external standards for claims handling and customer service
• Work closely with the Claims Manager and Head of Claims to provide resource and input to claims from all classes, as well as ensuring that they – along with the wider Claims team – are well informed of any relevant claims movements, issues and trends
• Act as both a referral point and role model for less experienced members of the team
• Develop strong relationships with peers across the Market and within AEGIS London. Be responsible for ensuring our Underwriters and other internal stakeholders are kept informed of valuable claims information and/or issues and the subsequent impact on underwriting and policy interpretation
• Work in conjunction with the Senior Claims Adjusters across other lines, sharing knowledge and skills where appropriate, to ensure the Claims team is working as efficiently as possible
• Undertake and lead on other adhoc tasks or projects as they arise

Skills, Knowledge and Experience

The successful candidate will:

• Have experience dealing with complex claims and a thorough knowledge of the specific business class.
• Ideally the successful candidate would have experience of both Open Market Property and Property Binders. Knowledge of Utility Property, Political Violence & Terrorism and Accident & Health classes would be a distinct advantage but not essential.
• We would also be interested in speaking to candidates who do not have property experience but do have significant experience in the other classes identified and can demonstrate an ability to learn the property classes quickly.
• Have a strong understanding of London Market claims systems (e.g. ECF)
• Be confident when liaising, negotiating and mediating with internal and external stakeholders and clients
• Have excellent written and verbal communication and be able to create and develop strong internal and external relationships
• Have excellent attention to detail
• Be able to analyse and leverage data in order to provide meaningful insight
• Be proficient in Word/Excel and similar applications
• Be part Dip CII / ACII qualified or working towards Dip CII / ACII (desirable but not essential)
