As an in-house claims specialist you will be responsible for delivering a trusted, superior claims service to our customers as you support them and help mitigate and resolve the impact of significant insured events. You will have extensive experience in handling high value property claims for both commercial and private clients alongside the strong influencing and communication skills required to engage a broad variety of stakeholders and inspire confidence in our customers during their time of need.

You’ll thrive on being accountable and have your own caseload of major and complex property and business interruption claims, handling these claims from cradle to grave, delivering an exceptional quality and pro-active claims service to our clients and brokers, whilst maintaining and enhancing the Hiscox reputation and brand.

Whilst site visits to meet our customers and understand the impact of the loss will be encouraged, you will be primarily desk based in this role. This may mirror your current role, or perhaps you’re currently doing a field based role and looking for some more work life balance, maybe you want to work for a company who truly puts the customer first, empathising and dealing with the claim in the fairest way possible.

Our must-haves:
- Extensive experience and a proven track record in handling high value and complex household, commercial property and business interruption claims from either an insurer or loss adjusting background.- Completed ACII or ACILA examinations or commitment to complete them.

Skills and attributes- A willingness to take on a new and exciting challenge and the drive to succeed- A desire to really wow our customers and the ability to find solutions and flex approach to achieve the best outcomes- Possess the intellect and gravitas to influence and gain credibility with both internal and external stakeholders and customers, leading claims with confidence and commanding internal, broker and expert confidence- Self-starter who can operate independently and has a strong team ethic- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with a desire to grow and develop others.- Creative, proactive, logical and innovative - you do not accept the status quo- Highly results driven, with the energy and determination to succeed in a very fast paced environment where the pace of response is critical to success- Have an ability to prioritise work and work effectively and accurately under pressure, ensuring that deadlines are met- Solid understanding of risk and regulation and be able to adhere to set reporting and claims management requirements
