Team Leader - Bodily Injury/Credit Hire

About the job

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 people who can work in an evolving environment. If building a leading TPA and the prospect of tackling the long standing challenges of the claims adjuster role sounds exciting, we can't wait to meet you.

Who you are

• Highly motivated and growth oriented. You're excited by the prospect of building a tech driven claims org.
• Passionate adjuster 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 act 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.
