Claims Handler - Third Party in Halifax

About Zego

We’re a commercial motor insurer on a mission to save people time and money.

From nationwide taxi fleets to self-employed scooter delivery riders, our customers are our driving force.

We’re making insurance fairer and more human for every one of them.

When we started back in 2016, we knew that traditional insurance held businesses back.

It was too complicated, too expensive and too time consuming.

So we set out to change things, building insurance solutions that empower professional drivers throughout the UK and Europe.

So far, we’ve raised over $200 million in funding.

We’ve grown from a scrappy start-up into an industry changing organisation, and there’s plenty more to come.

That’s where you come in...

Reporting to the Head of TP Claims, the TP Claims Handler will be responsible for proactively solving liability, indemnity and quantum problems to help drive down claims spend whilst ensuring injured claimants are fairly compensated.

Therefore motor claims experience as well as excellent communication and negotiation skills are a must.

Credit hire experience would be an additional advantage.

The TP Handler will be working with a team team of highly skilled and successful claims experts as well as our new and innovative, API first claims management system to support in the delivery of a world-leading Claims service to our UK customers while ensuring the business has access to high-quality claims data and fighting fraud.

This is a great opportunity for someone who would like to further their claims experience and professional development with a fast-paced and innovative company that likes to do things a little differently.
