Major Case Unit Adjuster

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.

We seek a skilled Major Case Unit claims professional to investigate and resolve Reserv's most complex and high-exposure claims. Potential to attend trials, conferences, mediations, and arbitrations. The successful candidate will:

• Investigate and gather all necessary information and documentation related to claims
• Evaluate liability and damages
• Negotiate and settle claims
• Manage litigation cases related to auto claims disputes

Who you are

• Highly motivated and growth-oriented. You're excited by the prospect of being part of a tech-driven claims organization.
• 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, a sense of humor. Claims are hard enough as it is.
