In this role, you will review, analyze, and determine the extent of the company's exposure or liability for claims reported under Kidnap & Ransom, Product Contamination, and Restaurant Recovery insurance policies.

You will be responsible for working directly with insured and our crisis response companies.

The Crisis Management Claims Team functions on collaboration, and in order to be a successful candidate, you will need to thrive in a highly collaborative environment. The Crisis Management claims are divided among the team for day-to-day handling, with regular team meetings to discuss and brainstorm.

• Develop a familiarity with the claims handling process:
  Within the first 90 days, you will develop a comfortability with the claims handling procedures throughout the life of a claim and develop an understanding of the current claims being handled by the Claims Team, such that you are able to handle claims efficiently, as well as provide claims updates to the underwriting teams and reinsurers. One aspect of this objective will be gaining familiarity with the relationship between claims and underwriting, as well as the relationship between claims and reinsurance.
• Maintain productivity and efficiency:
  Within the first 6 months, you should become accustomed to the ebbs and flows of the claims process. Due to growth of the business, you will have a consistently fast-paced workload. You will work closely with the Chief Operating Officer to address technical challenges that the team faces.
