A Company That Matters
Insurance exists to support people at their most vulnerable, after an accident, illness, theft, fire, or crisis. Claims are the moment of truth. That’s why we’re passionate about making every claim more empathetic, more efficient, and more human.
ClaimSorted is an AI-native Third Party Administrator that manages claims operations for insurers across auto, property, travel, gadget, pet, renters, and liability. We combine world-class claims talent with proprietary AI systems to deliver dramatically faster resolutions, lower leakage, and a fundamentally better customer experience
We’re backed by some of the largest funds in the world Y Combinator, Atomico, and Eurazeo, and already manage claims for MGAs and insurers across the US, UK, and Europe, including publicly traded companies and some of the most well-known household names.
Now we’re looking for a Head of Claims to help redefine how claims should operate in the modern world. Not optimize around the edges. Not maintain legacy processes. Rebuild the function entirely.
The Role
This role requires 5 days a week in-person at our London, New York or future Dallas office
This is not a traditional insurance leadership role.
We are looking for someone who sees claims as an operational, technical, and product problem - not just a people-management problem.
Your mission will be to redesign how claims handling works across products, regions, workflows, escalation management, QA, fraud prevention, recoveries, litigation handling, and customer communication.
You will own claims standards across the company and work directly with founders, product, engineering, and operations to rethink every part of the claims lifecycle.
You’ll build systems that scale.
You’ll coach technical excellence into the organization.
You’ll personally handle claims to stay close to reality.
You’ll make hard decisions under pressure.
And you’ll help create the operational model that defines the future of claims.
This role is for someone ambitious enough to believe the industry can operate radically better than it does today.
What You’ll Do
Rebuild claims operations from first principles
Redesign workflows, escalation structures, QA systems, and claims governance
Identify operational bottlenecks and eliminate unnecessary complexity
Build scalable claims standards across multiple lines of business and regions
Partner with product and engineering teams to automate and improve workflows using AI
Own technical claims excellence
Define claims handling standards across auto, property, liability, travel, renters, and other products
Own governance for complex, high-risk, litigated, or precedent-setting claims
Drive improvements in leakage, fraud prevention, recoveries, and audit performance
Review difficult claims personally and make final technical decisions where needed
Build elite claims teams
Hire and develop exceptional Claims Handlers, Team Leads, QA specialists, and handlers
Raise the technical bar across the organization
Create coaching systems, calibration frameworks, and technical training
Build a culture of ownership, urgency, and high standards
Partner with customers
Act as the senior claims expert in customer and partner meetings
Support launches, audits, escalations, and strategic insurer discussions
Build trust with carriers, MGAs, brokers, and enterprise partners
