Trucking Total Loss Adjuster

Description

About Reserv

Reserv is an insurtech creating and incubating cutting-edge AI and automation technology to bring efficiency and simplicity to claims. Founded by insurtech veterans with deep experience in SaaS and digital claims, Reserv is venture-backed by Bain Capital and Altai Ventures and began operations in May 2022. We are focused on automating highly manual tasks to tackle long-standing problems in claims and set a new standard for TPAs, insurance technology providers, and adjusters alike.

We have ambitious (but attainable!) goals and need adjusters who can work in an evolving environment. If building a leading TPA and the prospect of tackling the long-standing challenges of the claims role sounds exciting, we can’t wait to meet you.

About the role

We are seeking a highly organized and customer-focused Transportation Claims Total Loss Specialist to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for working with rental facilities, body shops, salvage vendors, and appraisers to manage the total loss settlement process and rental expenses, reviewing the valuation of the vehicle based on its type to resolve the claim efficiently and reviewing damage estimates to confirm vehicles are total losses.

Your role will also be responsible for handling an inventory of claims, triaging critical claims, and delivering service to all constituents of the claim. 

The ideal candidate has a willingness to work through a design process that supports the quickest claim resolution with the best outcome. In addition, you will collaborate closely with our product and engineering teams to give feedback and identify technology and process improvements. 

Who you are

• Highly motivated and growth-oriented. You're excited by the prospect of building a tech-driven claims org.
• Passionate claim professional who cares about the customer and their experience.
• Empathetic. You exercise empathy and patience towards everyone you interact with. 
• Sense of urgency - at all times. That does not mean working at all hours.
• Creative. You can find the right exit ramp (pun intended) for the resolution of the claim that is in the insured’s best interest. 
• Conflict-enjoyer. Conflict does not have to be adversarial, but it HAS to be conversational. 
• Curious. You have to want to know the whole story so you can make the right decisions early and action them to a prompt resolution. 
• Anti-status quo. You don’t just wish things were done differently, you action on it. 
• Communicative. (we'd love to know what this means to you)
• And did we mention, you have a sense of humor. Claims are hard enough as it is.
