Job Description

Are you keen to work somewhere that’s stimulating and friendly, with countless opportunities for growth and plenty of freedom to make a real impact? This could be the place for you!

We are looking for a Third Party Damage Claims Technician here at INSHUR; based in Brighton pre-pandemic, and currently 100% remote, though we'd love you to join us in Brighton once a week. A key strategic development is the formation of our own inhouse claims department. Our goal is to provide superior customer claims experience whilst delivering market leading incurred claims costs underpinned by strategic partnerships with our suppliers.

Reporting to (and supported by) Property Damage Team Leader, you'll have the opportunity to positively influence the average claims cost within the team whilst utilising your negotiation skills. A key challenge will be your ability to reduce the average claims cost by ensuring effective third party intervention strategies are adopted.

We’ve got a great team in place and are a people & culture-first business (check out our Glassdoor reviews). We value high performance and care deeply about making INSHUR feel like a place where everyone is building something really special, that we can all be proud of, and doing it with friends.

What you'll do

Supported by a recently developed Case Management System, you will join the Accidental / Property damage team in adopting innovative claims settlement strategies. You will be crucial in ensuring that we embrace relevant technology and supplier support to positively enhance the customers claims experience. As a natural team player you will negotiate claim settlements whilst embracing both the values and culture upon which INSHUR was founded.

We don’t have a checklist of skills - our hiring process is much more about aptitude and passion than ticking boxes. So don’t worry if you’ve not used a particular tool or checked off all the listed skills and experience.

That said, below is a guideline of skills that we think would make you successful in this role.

We'd love to hear from you if you:

  • Are a good communicator.
  • Have experience of dealing with third party claimants and embracing effective intervention strategies.
  • Are a pragmatic problem solver with the ability to think outside the box, prepared to challenge market norms and don't subscribe to a “we have always done it that way approach”.
  • Are analytical and continuously striving for operational excellence.
  • Always look to obtain strategic claims advantage with the creation of new ideas or processes.

Your colleagues say you are:

  • Entrepreneurial, extremely proactive and full of initiatives.
  • A true team player, keen to learn from others and keen to share your learnings.
  • Customer centric with a great eye for strategic process development.

What we offer

We provide a friendly and stimulating environment for everyone to grow, learn and thrive in. We operate in a hybrid of remote and office-based work and we encourage a flexible way of working to adapt to personal circumstances and individual and business needs.

In terms of salary, we will take into account your previous experience and expertise when agreeing on the final offer. We offer all our employees stock options and we will pay into your pension monthly. We've also built a benefits package that invests in our people’s long-term personal and professional growth and wellbeing. Here’s a sample of what this includes:

● 30 days of holiday annually in addition to bank holidays

● Private healthcare scheme for you and your family

● Life Insurance

● 13 weeks full pay parental leave regardless of your gender

● Flexibility to choose your own place of work (UK only) and flexible working hours

● Annual personal training allowance of £1000 (no questions asked) and regular learning opportunities

● Monthly flexible wellbeing allowance to help you stay healthy and productive

It goes without saying that we provide everyone with a laptop, monitor, top of the range kit, and any software you need.

About Us

We have recently completed a successful Series B funding, which will fuel our ambitious growth plans and enable us to invest in technology, recruit the best people, and bring new insurtech product lines to the market, while keeping us at the forefront of urban mobility. With a mission to make insurance fair & easy for everyone, we are committed to changing the way customers buy and feel about insurance, for good.

As a global team of around 150 people based in the USA, UK and the Netherlands, we value:

● Generosity, inclusivity, open-mindedness and diversity

● The delivery of great results and learning in the open

● Freedom to make long-term, high-impact decisions

● The wellbeing of their teammates and the people around them

● Enjoying the ride

Founded in 2016, we are one of the fastest-growing and commercially proven Insurtech companies in the new insurance landscape. Working closely with globally recognised partners, we provide fully digital auto insurance for taxi, TLC, ride-share, delivery, private fleet and private hire drivers, enabling them to get from a quote to a full policy cover in the shortest possible time. Our products are currently live in the USA, UK and the Netherlands and we have exciting plans to expand to new territories and add new product lines.

We are based in beautiful Brighton (sea, chips and seagulls included), although we’re currently working remotely. When the COVID situation evolves to a point where we are comfortable working from the office, we will be transitioning to a hybrid model (office and remote). At that point, we'd love you to join us in Brighton once a week (either at co-working spaces or the office) for collaborative work or in-person meetings.

Equal opportunities

We believe that having a diverse team where everyone can be their authentic self is the key to our success. We are passionate about equal opportunities and improving the tech industry for the better, so we encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to apply. We don't discriminate based on race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, marital status, disability or age. Our offices, when open, are child-friendly, dog-friendly and fully wheelchair-accessible.

While this position is advertised as full-time, we are flexible on the specific arrangements for the right candidate and would be happy to discuss part-time, job-share or other flexible arrangements, if required. Let us know in your application if you have accessibility requirements for your interview and we will do our best to accommodate.

The FlexScore® is the result of a rigorous 2-step verification of a company’s flexibility

First we assess the flexibility options INSHUR provides and then we anonymously survey a statistically significant proportion of their employees to make sure INSHUR is as flexible as they say they are. Our assessment is based on the six key elements of flexibility: location, hours, autonomy, benefits, role modelling and work-life balance.

We ask the hard questions so you don’t have to.
