Internal Claims Adjuster

About Our Culture

At Crawford, we value our people; as such, we hire for attitude and train for skill, and offer a supportive and positive work environment so our people are always developing their skills and expertise to thrive in their role.

We are seeking someone that can do the job, but just as important, are able to add to the already great culture of our team and can demonstrate the qualities below, because it’s who you are.

Drive  – you are intrinsically motivated to give your best that is manifested through the high quality of your work and customer service.

Integrity  – you are impeccable with your word and follow through on your commitments.

Growth mindset  – you encourage collaboration in every interaction and welcome feedback in order to grow and also impart your learning with your team.

About the Opportunity

The opportunity will involve managing a portfolio of claims (end-to-end) and will require strong stakeholder engagement; you will be comfortable in picking up the phone and providing updates and outcomes to your key stakeholders, in relation to their claims.

Whilst we would prefer someone with insurance / claims management experience, we are open to hearing from you if you do not have a claims or insurance background; essentially, we are looking for customer service / retail / call-centre superstars who are open to learning the fundamentals of insurance (on the job) and have the mindset of building a career in insurance.
