You will use your negotiation skills to reach an agreeable settlement whilst mitigating the chance of entering a litigation process. You can expect to be across the following:

1. Management of Recoveries incurred by Tower.

3. Approach either the at-fault third party or their insurer to negotiate settlement of costs via a range of channels to maximize the chance of successful contact.
4. Prepare the recovery of claims right through to the Disputes Tribunal if you have not been able to reach an agreeable settlement.
5. Refer files that have not had successful contact with third-party agents and assist them with any inquiries they may have in their attempts to make contact.
6. Follow up Disputes Tribunal outcomes to ensure settlement by the debtor, referring to court action where necessary.
7. Remain up to date with the legislative requirements affecting our business.

What you'll need You must have an understanding of Insurance liability and the GI Claim Lifecycle; and you must be resilient with an ability to negotiate debt recovery. You must also be able to understand financial vulnerability and respond accordingly. To be successful in this role, you will also be able to demonstrate the following:

1. Minimum 6 months + experience in managing motor/complex/property claims.
2. Experience of Disputes Tribunal proceeding is an advantage.
3. 2 years' experience in the Insurance or Financial Services Industry preferred.
