Responsibilities:

  • Lead and develop a pod of 4 General Liability adjusters handling Premise, Habitational, Risk Transfer, Construction, and New York Labor Law claims.
  • Own the performance and health of the dedicated account. That means quality, timeliness, outcomes, and the client relationship.
  • Review reserves, coverage positions, and settlement strategy; approve or escalate within your authority.
  • Handle escalations and the most complex, high-exposure litigated files directly.
  • Run QA and file reviews; coach to the gaps you find and raise the bar across the team.
  • Serve as the primary claims point of contact for the client including reporting, trends, and program-level recommendations.
  • Direct outside counsel and investigative vendors on significant matters.
  • Build and refine claims guidelines, best practices, and process improvements for the account, and help shape how our broader claims org operates.
  • Support hiring, onboarding, and ongoing development for the team.

Requirements:

  • Minimum of 5 years' General Liability claims experience, including complex litigated third-party bodily injury and property damage.
  • Prior team lead, supervisor, or formal mentorship/QA experience strongly preferred.
  • Deep policy interpretation skills: Reservation of Rights letters, coverage declinations, and coverage analysis.
  • Active adjuster license: resident-state license where available, otherwise a Designated Home State (DHS) license.
  • Willing to obtain any additional required licenses within 60 days, including state testing.
  • Proven judgment on reserves, authority, and settlement strategy on high-exposure claims.
  • Bachelor's degree, or equivalent industry experience.
  • JD or professional insurance designations are a plus.
  • Willingness to travel for client and claims needs.

Benefits:

  • Generous health-insurance package with nationwide coverage, vision, & dental
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching
  • Competitive PTO policy – we want our employees fresh, healthy, happy, and energized!
  • Generous family leave policy after 8 months of continuous work
  • Work from anywhere to facilitate your work life balance
  • Apple laptop, large second monitor, and other quality-of-life equipment you may want.
  • Listen to your feedback to enhance and improve upon the long-standing challenges of an adjuster and the claims role
  • Work toward reducing and eliminating all the administrative work from an adjuster role
  • Foster a culture of empathy, transparency, and empowerment in a remote-first environment
