  • Stay informed about industry trends, regulatory changes, and emerging technologies to drive innovation in our claims handling processes. Your proactive approach will enable us to make informed decisions and continuously improve our services.
  • Present reports and presentations that highlight key performance indicators, demonstrating your ability to effectively communicate complex information to various stakeholders.
  • Conduct on-site visits to clients in the event of a loss, investigating circumstances and building robust claims that lead to swift and favorable conclusions.
  • Negotiate with insurers to secure the best possible settlement terms under the policy, showcasing your advocacy skills and commitment to achieving optimal outcomes.

Knowledge:

  • Strong understanding of commercial insurance policies, coverage types, and claims procedures is essential for this role.
  • Brokerage experience is a must-have to ensure comprehensive comprehension of the industry.
  • Your expertise in client relationship management is crucial in building and maintaining positive connections with our clients.
  • Understanding of general and legal principles of insurance will further enhance your effectiveness in this role.
  • Familiarity with relevant regulatory and legal frameworks is important to ensure compliance and adherence to industry standards.

Skills:

  • Your exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills are important for effectively handling claims.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills are important for effectively maintaining relationships with different individuals involved.
  • A customer-focused approach will be instrumental in delivering exceptional service to our clients.
  • Your ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment will contribute to your success in this role.
  • Confidence, assertiveness, and resilience under pressure will enable you to navigate complicated situations with ease.
  • Your experience in providing care, offering emotional support, guidance, and reassurance to clients in difficult or distressing situations is highly valued.

Qualifications:

  • GCSE Maths and English (or equivalent) are required for this role.
  • A level qualification is desirable.
  • Possession of CII & CILA certifications is considered an asset.

What do we offer in return?

A career that you define. At Howden, we value diversity – there is no one Howden type. Instead, we're looking for individuals who share the same values as us:

  • Our successes have all come from someone brave enough to try something new.
  • We support each other in the small everyday moments and the bigger challenges.
  • We are determined to make a positive difference at work and beyond.

Reasonable adjustments
