Howden Greater Bristol Area, United Kingdom
Claims Executive
Howden Greater Bristol Area, United Kingdom
From day one, our mission has been to create an independent business with a unique culture - one that is controlled by the people who work for it. Finding the most talented and entrepreneurial people has always been key to our success.
People come to Howden for lots of different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. That's what sets us apart, and why we nurture and retain the best talent in the market. Whatever your priorities - work/life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering - you'll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.
The Role
This role involves handling a portfolio of Financial Lines claims for a variety of professions, including Solicitors, Accountants, Architects and Surveyors. We are looking for an individual who has the ability to review policy wordings, and is comfortable advocating on behalf of our clients, so that they acquire the accurate policy coverage available under the terms of their policy.
The role is hybrid, with an expectation of 3 days working in the office. Although primarily passionate about Professional Indemnity, the team also handles Directors & Officers, Cyber and Financial Institutions claims, and there may be scope for the right candidate to move into these areas in the future.
Key Responsibilities
* Reviewing, drafting and submitting notifications to insurers.
* Collaborating closely with various stakeholders, including clients, placing colleagues and insurers to keep all parties up to date, and to ensure that claims are being proactively handled in the client’s best interests.
* Maintaining accurate data and records within our case management systems.
* Producing Thought Leadership pieces for markets and areas of interest to clients.
Required Skills
* Good verbal and written communication skills.
* Highly organised, and able to prioritise workloads and own time.
* Resilient and calm under pressure.
* Experience working within insurance claims, either at a broker, insurer or law firm would be highly desirable.
Our Culture: People First
We've travelled far since opening our first office in 1994. Back then we were local experts - based in London, with direct access to the world's biggest insurance market. We're still locals, and we still deliver the right advice and the right insurance to our clients. But now, we're local all over the world. With 15,000 global colleagues and a partner network spanning more than 100 territories, we are the largest independent insurance broker in the world. But our values haven't changed since day one, when we set out to create a company grounded in:
* Aligned external investors
* The trust and integrity born of friendship
* Expertise
Our focus on being a people-first business has always been at the very heart of Howden. Our vision was to create an independent business with a unique culture; one that would survive and thrive as a business controlled by the people working for it. Our employee ownership model sets us apart in the market. It's created a culture of collaboration and innovation, where we're driven to think bigger and empowered to challenge convention.
Our flat structure and entrepreneurial spirit help us attract the best people and empower them to be the best version of themselves. And when we bring in and nurture great talent, more follows. That makes us better - and that's better for everyone.
Diversity & Inclusion
At Howden we consider our people our chief competitive advantage and as such we treat colleagues, candidates, clients, and business partners with equality, fairness and respect, regardless of their age, disability, race, religion or belief, gender, sexual orientation, marital status or family circumstances.
