Senior Homeowner Liability Desk Claims Adjuster - Primarily Home

About the position

This is a senior-level role focused on investigating and maintaining complex property and casualty claims. The successful candidate will be responsible for determining liability, securing necessary information, reviewing coverages, arranging appraisals, and settling third-party property liability claims. The position requires a proactive approach to managing claims, ensuring that all parties involved are kept informed throughout the process. The role is primarily home-based, with the expectation that the employee will work from home 80% of the time, while being proximate to one of the company's office locations. Occasional travel to the office may be required for team meetings, training sessions, and cultural events. The candidate will report directly to an Adjusting Services Manager and will be expected to handle claims on a good faith basis, addressing both first and third-party claims across multiple policy types and endorsements.
