Job Description
This role sits within a procurement company Australian Insurance Replacements; this team of customer service experts directly partner with major insurance providers to source like-for-like replacement vehicles for customers when their cars are written off.

The Procurement Specialist is responsible for managing the end-to-end vehicle replacement process, from initial enquiry through to vehicle delivery, ensuring a smooth and professional experience for all parties involved.

Key Responsibilities Include

  • Respond to incoming customer and insurer enquiries via phone and email, providing clear, timely assistance throughout the claims process.
  • Manage insurance replacement claims on behalf of insurance providers, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.

  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of claim progress in internal systems.
  • Serve as a key point of contact between insurance providers, customers, and dealerships.
  • Act as a customer advocate, ensuring the claims process is smooth and stress-free.

Qualifications

  • Experience in customer service, insurance, or vehicle procurement (or a similar fast-paced role).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Confidence using email systems, CRMs, or procurement software.
  • Empathy, patience, and professionalism — especially when things don't go to plan.
