Your Role Your success in this role comes from your superior analytical and decision-making skills, as well as strong leadership skills. You have strong communication and leadership skills, which you use to share decisions and findings with and provide direction to, others. You can quickly coach others on what claims are and aren't covered. While you don't enjoy conflict, you handle it effectively.

You have end-to-end responsibility for internally adjusted claims, which are handled by road adjusters, telephone adjusters, examiners, and our online system.

You are the first line of communication on conflict issues, and actively coach staff, helping them build capacity for the same skill sets.
