  • Evaluate and negotiate first- and third-party physical damage claims within established settlement authority.
  • Use Guidewire ClaimCenter, investigation resources, digital collaboration tools, and data-informed insights to document decisions and advance claims efficiently.
  • Proactively manage an assigned claims inventory by prioritizing work, anticipating next steps, maintaining documentation discipline, and driving each claim toward timely resolution.
  • Deliver exceptional service through empathy, proactive communication, clear expectations, and ownership while effectively navigating difficult claim situations.
  • Collaborate with managers, appraisers, technical resources, and business partners to resolve complex issues and create a seamless experience for members and claimants.

  • Experience handling auto physical damage claims, including repair related claim decisions and settlements.
  • 3 years of recent auto claims adjusting experience, including handling auto liability claims involving coverage investigations, disputed liability, and comparative negligence.
  • Experience independently managing an assigned auto claims inventory from investigation through resolution.
  • Acquisition and maintenance of required insurance adjuster licensing within 90 days and three attempts.
  • Successful completion of a job-related assessment may be required.


What Sets You Apart
  • 4 years of recent auto claims adjusting experience, including auto liability claims involving coverage investigations, disputed liability, and comparative negligence.
  • Total loss experience, including vehicle valuation and settlement negotiation.
  • Experience mentoring, coaching, or serving as a technical resource to other claims professionals.
  • Active adjuster's license or multiple state adjuster licenses.
  • Guidewire Claim Center experience.
  • Bachelor's degree.
  • US military experience through military service or as a military spouse/domestic partner.

Your decisions are timely and supported. You take ownership through resolution, even when the path is complicated. Most importantly, you bring members peace of mind and confidence when they need it most.

This Is More Than Your Next Claims Job
