  3. Be an enterprise leader: Work right across our business, representing the Claims function and solving wider business challenges. Collaborate with our external partners, including key distribution partners.

This is a critical role at Fidelity Life. Not only will you be a subject matter expert in the field of claims processing and complaints, you’re also a champion for the customer. Claims is the heart of our business, and your role will be to foster a culture that supports the team and leads to exceptional performance. Please only apply if you have leadership experience.

Desired Skills and Experience

What you’ll bring:

  1. Extensive senior-level experience in Claims management, preferably within the life or general insurance sector.
  2. Proven commercial acumen, with experience developing and implementing Claims frameworks that align with strategic goals.
  3. Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to lead cross-functional teams and collaborate effectively across the business and with external partners.
  4. Proven leadership experience managing multiple teams and driving change in a fast-paced, customer-driven environment.
  5. Demonstrated ability to manage high-risk, complex claims scenarios while maintaining a focus on customer service and compliance.

Senior roles like this don’t come up very often. It’s a challenging role, but it also comes with huge reward. We believe in the power of our people, and we’ll provide the support you need to succeed. This is a unique and exciting opportunity to shape the future of our Claims function and move into a senior leadership role with a clear career path.
