Looking to step beyond processing claims and build genuine technical expertise?
We're partnering with a well-established specialist insurer seeking an experienced Commercial Claims professional to manage a portfolio of complex commercial and strata claims within agency. This is an opportunity to take ownership of claims from first notification through to settlement while working alongside highly experienced technical leaders.
If you're looking for greater autonomy, exposure to more complex claims and a business that actively invests in developing its people, this role offers an excellent long-term career pathway.
Why this opportunity?
- Performance-based bonus structure recognising individual contribution
- Genuine career progression into Senior Claims, Technical Claims or long-tail liability and specialty claims portfolios
- Exposure to complex commercial property and strata claims across both domestic and Lloyd's markets
- End-to-end ownership of your own portfolio with real decision-making authority
- Hybrid working arrangement (3 days Melbourne CBD office / 2 days from home)
- Collaborative team with strong technical mentoring and ongoing professional development
- Opportunity to work closely with brokers, loss adjusters, solicitors, engineers and industry experts
You'll manage a portfolio of commercial property and strata claims from initial notification through to settlement, making sound coverage decisions, negotiating outcomes and delivering exceptional service to brokers and insureds.
Working within delegated authority, you'll investigate liability, interpret complex policy wordings and coordinate external specialists to achieve commercially sound claim outcomes.
This role provides excellent exposure to technically challenging matters and offers a clear pathway into long-tail and specialty claims for professionals looking to broaden their expertise.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage a portfolio of commercial property and strata claims from lodgement through to final settlement
- Review policy coverage and determine liability through accurate interpretation of policy wordings and legislation
- Make claim decisions within delegated authority levels
- Appoint and manage loss adjusters, engineers, solicitors and other external experts
- Negotiate settlements with brokers, insureds and third parties to achieve commercially appropriate outcomes
- Prepare high-quality coverage correspondence, settlement recommendations and claim documentation
- Maintain accurate claim records while ensuring compliance with regulatory and internal standards
- Identify claim trends and provide feedback to underwriting and internal stakeholders to improve future risk outcomes
- 3+ years' experience managing commercial property, strata or commercial claims portfolios
- Experience handling claims from lodgement through to settlement
- Strong policy interpretation and coverage assessment skills
- Confidence making decisions within delegated authority
- Excellent negotiation and stakeholder management abilities
- High attention to detail and strong written communication skills
- Lloyd's market exposure will be highly regarded but is not essential
Whether you're looking to step into a more technical environment, increase your delegated authority, or position yourself for future progression into long-tail claims, we'd love to have a confidential discussion.
