Combining decades of industry experience with talented people in every field from data, technology, customer care and auto repair, to HR, finance, and procurement, we’re a customer-obsessed market powerhouse. And we all work together to be brilliant for customers, every single day.
It always feels good, helping people when they need it most. Taking calls, helping customers with queries, finding the right insurance product for their lifestyle.

You'll also oversee indemnity spend and reserving, manage customer and third-party expectations, maximise revenue generation and recovery opportunities, and adhere to regulatory guidelines. Additionally, you'll serve as a technical mentor, ensure adherence to customer fairness principles, and strive to achieve all business targets outlined within departmental measures.
This role will deal predominantly with Agricultural claims, but will include some residential cases as well.
