Professional Services


Job Advert: Claims Team Manager - Legal Executive/Solicitor


Location: North West England, hybrid working. Job Type: 12 month fixed-term contract, May start. Salary: DOE.


Are you an experienced legal professional with a background in insurance litigation, public liability claims, or similar fields? Do you have a passion for managing claims and leading a team of skilled professionals? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join our Claims Team!


About the Role:


The Claims Team handles a variety of inbound claims against the organisation. In addition, the team manages other public liability and personal injury matters, as well as statutory compensation claims related to our works. Working closely with external solicitors, we also manage a significant portion of the claims in-house.


As a Claims Team Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the team, which includes three experienced claims officers. You will also have access to a paralegal pool and will collaborate with retained loss adjusters and insurers. Your role will encompass everything from the initial input on incidents to managing compensation claims, often at the pre-litigation stage. You will also oversee litigated claims as needed, ensuring a smooth and efficient process from start to finish.


Key Responsibilities:


  • Lead and supervise the Claims Team, including managing three claims officers and providing guidance and support.
  • Oversee a variety of claims to ensure effective claim management.
  • Work closely with external solicitors, insurers, and loss adjusters to ensure effective claim management.
  • Handle claims from initial reporting through to pre-litigation and litigation stages.
  • Provide strategic oversight and support for more junior team members, helping to guide their caseloads and development.

About You:


This role is ideal for an experienced Legal Executive or Solicitor with a background in insurance litigation or public liability claims. While prior experience in line management is beneficial, it is not essential. We are more interested in your credibility as a lawyer and your experience managing cases where junior team members were involved.


You will bring:


  • A solid understanding of claims management, particularly in public liability, personal injury, or similar legal areas.
  • Experience managing or supervising teams, either formally or informally.
  • Strong communication and leadership skills.
  • The ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience with litigation and pre-litigation claims management.

Why Join Us?


We value expertise, teamwork, and innovation. You will join a supportive environment where you can thrive professionally, collaborate with experts, and develop your skills further. If you're ready to make an impact and lead a skilled claims team, we'd love to hear from you!


How to Apply:


Please submit your CV detailing your relevant experience and why you would be a great fit for the role and I will be in contact to discuss further.


We look forward to hearing from you!
