This opportunity is in the Claims department

Our Claims Department oversees both high-exposure workers’ compensation and liability claims. As an unbundled carrier, we work actively with third-party administrators (TPAs) and self-administered accounts to assist in guiding claims to a successful resolution. As an excess carrier, the catastrophic claims we handle keep our group challenged, but the uniqueness provides plenty of growth opportunities.

As a Liability Claims Manager, you will take ownership of assigned claims from initial assignment through closure. You will play a critical role in evaluating coverage, determining exposure, and developing resolution strategies for a variety of liability lines, including Automobile Liability, General Liability, Employers Liability, Public Entity, Cyber, Excess, Umbrella, and Construction Liability. You will proactively manage litigation, oversee third-party administrators (TPAs), and work closely with internal business partners to communicate claim exposures and business trends. Your expertise will help drive cost-effective resolutions while maintaining compliance with internal policies and industry best practices.
