Property Claims Road Adjuster (Toronto)

Your Role Tired of working for a home insurance provider that tries to find ways to deny, rather than cover, claims? Frustrated with outdated practices and processes that lead to poor customer service? At Square One, we treat our customers fairly, paying them what they are entitled to under their policies. And, we leverage technology to personalize buying a home insurance policy and making a home insurance claim. As a claims road adjuster, you understand how important proper claims handling is to an insurance provider's reputation. You treat each customer with empathy, patience, and respect. You recognize that, although you may handle hundreds of claims a year, this is likely the customer's first claim ever (or at least in a while).
