πŸ“‹ Description

β€’ Develop realistic scenarios that involve disputed coverage, reservations of rights, excess exposure, multiple insured parties, various carriers, allocation issues, litigation, mediation, bad-faith risks, and strategies for high-severity settlements.

β€’ Formulate intricate claim strategies, conduct coverage-position analyses, prepare authority requests, devise litigation-management plans, create reserve rationales, and recommend escalation paths.

β€’ Compose high-quality "golden" reference responses at a senior technical claims level.

β€’ Assess AI-generated responses against structured criteria for policy analysis, strategic judgment, factual support, stakeholder awareness, and escalation discipline.

β€’ Pinpoint claim-handling positions that lack internal consistency, are unsupported by documentation, are operationally impractical, or exceed the authority of a non-lawyer claims professional.

β€’ Engage in onboarding office hours and calibration sessions.

β€’ Assist in training cutting-edge AI models using high-quality insurance reasoning data.


⛳️ Requirements

β€’ Proven experience in assessing coverage issues and formulating claim strategies involving multiple parties, layers, policies, or jurisdictions.

β€’ Knowledge of insurer duties, reservation-of-rights practices, litigation management, settlement authority, and escalation protocols to internal or external counsel.

β€’ Capability to differentiate between an operational coverage position and formal legal advice and to identify when specialized legal review is necessary.

β€’ Outstanding written reasoning abilities, defensible judgment, and meticulous attention to detail.

β€’ Proficient in reviewing incomplete records and distinguishing between facts, assumptions, unresolved issues, and recommended next steps.

β€’ Preferred bonus qualifications include CPCU, AIC, SCLA, ARM, or a similar insurance designation.

β€’ Familiarity with complex lines such as excess casualty, professional liability, directors and officers, cyber, environmental, and construction defect.

β€’ Experience in managing mediations, trials, coverage disputes, or exposure beyond contractual limits.

β€’ Previous home-office technical claims or claim governance experience is required.

β€’ Experience overseeing TPAs, independent adjusters, experts, or panel counsel.

β€’ Must be capable of working as an independent contractor.

β€’ Unable to sponsor H1-B or STEM OPT candidates.


🏝️ Benefits

β€’ A flat payment of $800 upon successful completion of onboarding.

β€’ Weekly payments processed through Stripe or Wise based on services provided.

β€’ Opportunity for fully remote work on a flexible schedule.

β€’ Minimum commitment of 20 hours per week, with an ideal target of 40+ hours.

β€’ Competitive compensation.

β€’ Project durations may be extended, shortened, or concluded early based on needs and performance.

β€’ Reasonable accommodations available upon request.
