• Strong technical expertise in Casualty claims, including liability, bodily injury, property damage and related legal principles.
• Minimum 5 years’ experience in Casualty claims handling, within the insurance or reinsurance market.

• Efficient claims handling to support customer satisfaction, broker relationships and client retention.

• Strong stakeholder management skills, working with insureds, brokers, TPAs, adjusters, lawyers and internal teams.
• Good understanding of regulatory and compliance requirements relevant to Casualty claims.
• Fluent business English required; additional languages would be an advantage.

Strategic importance of the role

• At regional level, this additional expertise will support Continental Europe’s objective of building a more resilient, scalable, and technically robust claims framework, capable of responding to evolving market demands and enabling sustainable growth.
• Beyond its immediate technical value, the role will also contribute to the wider business by strengthening collaboration with underwriting, supporting portfolio development.
• The successful candidate will therefore be instrumental not only in supporting business expansion, but also in delivering first-class claims service, enhancing customer satisfaction, and driving operational excellence.

What you’ll bring:

• Greater operational efficiency and scalability, enabling the team to support growth without compromising service quality;
• Enhanced market credibility, reinforcing confidence among brokers, clients, and internal stakeholders.
