About the role
The Product Subject Matter Expert for Commercial Property at Assured is a critical bridge between the realities of claims handling and the teams building the technology that powers claims processing. This role involves translating real-world claims knowledge into better workflows, stronger data, and automation that helps insurers handle complex losses without losing the judgment and context that good claims work requires.
Responsibilities
- Identify friction points in the Commercial Property claims process and propose improvements.
- Map the claim lifecycle from FNOL through investigation, coverage evaluation, damage assessment, restoration, settlement, and closure to pinpoint areas for enhancement.
- Pinpoint gaps in the policy, loss, inspection, estimate, vendor, business interruption, and documentation data claims teams need to make informed decisions.
- Define practical standards for investigation, coverage analysis, damage assessment, documentation, estimating, reserving, vendor coordination, and settlement decisions.
- Reduce claim duration, improve estimate and reserve accuracy, limit leakage and litigation exposure, strengthen vendor performance, and help insureds recover faster.
- Identify workflows where automation can improve consistency and speed while preserving appropriate human judgment and controls.
Requirements
- Deep, hands-on Commercial Property claims experience, ideally as a field or desk adjuster, examiner, supervisor, or claims leader at a P&C carrier, TPA, MGA, or commercial property focused organization.
- Strong knowledge of the full Commercial Property claim lifecycle: FNOL, investigation, coverage evaluation, damage assessment, scoping and estimating, restoration, business interruption, reserving, settlement, and closure.
- Sound judgment navigating complex coverage, documentation, vendor, and financial considerations in high-severity or large-loss claims.
- A demonstrated ability to evaluate complex workflows, identify root causes, and distinguish meaningful improvements from cosmetic ones.
- Comfort owning ambiguous, high-leverage work with significant operational and financial impact.
- Curiosity about how automation and AI can improve claims workflows—paired with the judgment to know where human expertise, documentation, and controls still matter.
