Third Party Claims Handler

About Marshmallow

We exist to make migration easy. A systemic problem of this magnitude requires a team of curious thinkers who relentlessly pursue solutions. Those who constantly challenge the why, dismantle assumptions, and always take action to build a better way. A Marshmallow career is built on a cycle of continuous growth, with learning at its core. You will be challenged to raise the bar on your capabilities and supported with the right tools and guidance to do so. This ensures you can deliver impactful work and drive change.

The Claims Team

Most claims teams move slowly. Processes, sign-offs, and outdated systems get in the way of good decisions. At Marshmallow, we move faster. We’re commercially strong, tech-powered, and built to give claims experts the tools, insight, and freedom to make sharper calls for customers. We look for people with deep expertise who are restless for a better way of working. If you’ve ever felt held back by bureaucracy, you’ll find the autonomy, pace, and stretch at Marshmallow that let you do your best work — and keep learning as you go.
