  • 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.

  • 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.
