  • You build and maintain effective relationships with clients that maximise the client claims experience. You influence and collaborate with multiple internal and external stakeholders.
  • You actively participate in mediations and other formal and informal settlement forums and lead settlement discussions.
  • You contribute to the innovation and development of products, appropriate coverage, and claims response by identifying trends within the portfolio and work with Underwriters and Risk Advisors to optimise the risk.
  • You participate in various activities identified as contributing to VMIA's value proposition.

Who you work with

  • You work with the Liability Claims Portfolio Manager, Head of Claims, and claims peers to actively contribute to the development of new and existing claims services, practices, and products to build value to clients.
  • You work across VMIA including Underwriters and Risk Advisors to optimise service and product offerings.
  • You build and maintain effective relationships with third party service providers to obtain optimum claims resolution.

About you

  • You have a proven track record of successful administration of claims.
  • You have a history of highquality client/customer service and are empathetic to client needs.
