Experience in customer service, claims, insurance, or outcome-focused environment; strong communication, problem-solving, organizational skills; motor or commercial insurance claims experience preferred.

About the job

As a Commercial Motor Claims Consultant, you'll play a critical role in supporting commercial customers through unexpected events, helping them navigate the claims process with confidence and care. This is far more than a traditional claims role. You'll take ownership of claims from start to finish, balancing customer advocacy, commercial outcomes, and sound decision-making to deliver the best possible experience.

Working closely with customers, brokers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders, you'll build trusted relationships and use your problem-solving skills to achieve fair, efficient, and customer-focused outcomes. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy making decisions, and are passionate about delivering exceptional service, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

  • Manage a portfolio of commercial motor claims from lodgement through to resolution, taking ownership of the customer experience throughout the claims journey.
  • Build strong relationships with customers, brokers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders to deliver timely and effective outcomes.
  • Make informed decisions, manage claim costs responsibly, and ensure claims are handled in line with policy, authority levels, and governance requirements.
  • Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to enhance processes, systems, and customer experiences.

What You'll Bring

You'll be a customer-centric professional who combines empathy with sound commercial judgment and enjoys working in a collaborative, high-performing environment.

We're looking for:

  • Experience in customer service, claims, insurance, or another outcome-focused environment.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the confidence to manage challenging conversations.
  • The ability to assess information, solve problems, and make balanced decisions.
  • Excellent organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities.
  • A proactive, resilient mindset and a genuine commitment to delivering great customer outcomes.

Experience in motor or commercial insurance claims is highly regarded but not essential.
