Technical Claims Controller — Hybrid/Remote | UK

A well-established, market-leading loss adjusting business — backed by one of Europe's largest international claims management groups — is looking for an experienced Technical Claims Controller to join their team on a hybrid/remote basis.

This is a technically demanding role with genuine autonomy. You'll manage Commercial Property claims end-to-end, make sound coverage decisions, and act as a technical reference point for the wider team. If you're at your best when working independently on complex, higher-value claims, this is worth a look.

THE ROLE

You'll be part of a high-performing team managing Commercial Property claims from FNOL through to settlement, including payment management and MI reporting. Day to day you'll be:

  • Managing commercial property claims cradle to grave within delegated authority levels

  • Providing technical guidance and taking referrals from the DCA/Desktop team

  • Making accurate policy engagement and coverage decisions

  • Reviewing technical reports, quotations, and invoices — issuing instructions accordingly

  • Maintaining accurate reserves and data throughout the claim lifecycle

  • Escalating cases appropriately — repudiations, policy voidance, complaints

  • Keeping up to date on client requirements, legal and technical changes, and GDPR compliance

  • Ensuring TCF principles and regulatory requirements are upheld at all times
Essential:
  • Substantial cradle-to-grave commercial claims experience

  • Proven handling of claims above £100k in value

  • Strong working knowledge of insurance principles and policy interpretation

  • Solid understanding of regulatory compliance
Desirable:
  • Previous DCA operations experience

  • CII and/or CILA qualification (or working towards)
You'll be technically confident, commercially aware, and customer-focused. You're comfortable making decisions under pressure, managing difficult situations with tact, and working independently — while knowing when to escalate or collaborate. A proactive mindset and commitment to continuous development are important.

If you're technically strong, thrive on complex commercial claims, and you're ready to take the next step in your claims career — this could be the right move.
