The role
What a claims manager actually does, day to day.
As a Claims Manager, you work for an insurance company looking after people who have made claims. You might handle car accidents, home damage, or illness - each claim is different. Your job is to make sure each one is dealt with fairly, quickly and honestly, so people get the money they need.
You will read through claim details, ask questions if something doesn't add up, decide whether the claim should be paid, and agree a fair payment amount. You might need to talk to the person making the claim, doctors, repair companies, or lawyers. It is busy work with lots of different cases at once, but each day brings something new. You will also train and help other team members, showing them how to handle tricky situations and make good decisions.
