- Attending Dispute Tribunal hearings to contest liability and/or quantum where tolerable settlements are unattainable
- Engage external suppliers (loss adjusters, lawyers) domestically and internationally to investigate, report and adjust losses occurring in any jurisdiction
- Devise a strategy for resolving covered claims to achieve commercially pragmatic outcomes that carefully balance cost containment against reasonable customer expectations
- Raise and maintain reserves on the insurance system that represent the best estimate of IAG’s financial exposure for indemnity losses and external supplier fees pursuant to IAG’s reserving methodology
- Drafting and issuing Large Loss Reports to bring visibility to large losses (actual and potential) to underwriting and sales teams throughout the claim. Preparing and updating Large Loss Narratives
- Providing technical and process guidance to claims specialists and otherwise supporting direct managers to attend to complaints and advance team projects
