This opportunity is in the Claims department.

Our Claims Department oversees both high-exposure workers' compensation and liability claims. As an unbundled carrier, we work actively with third-party administrators (TPAs) and self-administered accounts to assist in guiding claims to a successful resolution. As an excess carrier, the catastrophic claims we handle keep our group challenged, but the uniqueness provides plenty of growth opportunities.

Role Description:

Are you ready to take charge of complex and high-exposure liability claims across a broad spectrum of insurance lines? As a Senior Liability Claims Manager, you'll lead from the front-handling sophisticated litigation matters, setting strategy, and collaborating with both internal and external partners to guide claims to resolution. You'll manage cases involving Automobile Liability, General Liability, Employers Liability, Public Entity (Professional Liability), Cyber, Excess, Umbrella, and Construction Liability from start to finish. Your legal knowledge and investigative acumen will be essential in driving timely and cost-effective outcomes.

You'll be responsible for litigation management, coverage analysis, reserve setting, and counsel oversight while supporting TPAs and guiding strategic resolutions. Your insights will help shape claims trends and risk evaluations. If you're a confident communicator and collaborator who thrives on complexity and autonomy, this is the perfect opportunity to make a significant impact. This role is hybrid, based in our St. Louis, MO home office with flexibility for remote work and periodic in-office engagement.
