New Job Opening: Professional Indemnity Claims Specialist in Sydney, NSW

Job Description

Location: Sydney, CBD
Salary Package: $150,000 to $170,000 + Super
Role Highlights: Professional indemnity focus, full-time in office, five days a week

A genuine opportunity to take the reins on a professional indemnity and liability claims portfolio.

Role Overview

As Professional Indemnity Claims Specialist, you'll oversee a portfolio of professional indemnity, liability and financial lines claims from first notification right through to resolution, including coverage interpretation and hands-on management of small to mid value matters.

This role has been created as the business brings its claims handling in-house after previously outsourcing it. You'll partner closely with the wider specialist team and become a go-to contact for brokers and insureds as this internal function is established.

Responsibilities

• Own a caseload of professional indemnity, liability and financial lines claims from notification to resolution


• Assess policy wording to form coverage positions on new and existing matters


• Directly negotiate and progress settlements on small to mid value claims


• Develop and sustain strong relationships with brokers and insureds


• Work alongside legal panel firms on claims strategy and coverage decisions


• Help drive the shift of claims handling from an outsourced provider into an internal team


• Offer technical guidance on complex coverage and liability issues when needed

Candidate Profile

Professional indemnity experience is a must, ideally with some background in liability, construction liability or financial lines. A practising certificate isn't necessary, though a legal background is well regarded, whether you're currently an associate or senior associate in private practice, yet to begin practising, or already working in a claims capacity. There are no direct reports attached to this role, making it ideal for someone who wants to remain close to the policy and claims work rather than step into people management.

Culture & Benefits

Become part of an established specialist team as they grow their internal claims capability. This is a full time, office based position in Sydney, five days a week. If this feels like the right move for your claims career, get in touch.

• Apply your legal background within a specialist claims environment


• $150,000 to $170,000 + Super
