• Support the UK Head of Marine Claims and wider team in ad-hoc projects as required.
• Assist in managing the day-to-day operational relationship/quality assurance issues with Shared Services where required.
• Support the wider team with TPA oversight and performance management.
• Provide thought leadership through training and presentations to both internal and external audiences.

What we are looking for:

• A good level of experience and knowledge in handling marine liability, third-party cargo or first party cargo claims. All areas are not essential, but general third-party claims experience is preferred.
• Policy language skills enabling accurate and consistent policy wording interpretation.
• Experience of using ECF helpful but not essential.
• A working knowledge of legal / regulatory and litigation / procedural requirements for their line of business.
• Experience in effectively following up on recommendations from technical claims audits and continuous claim handling improvement.
