Claims & Loss Management

• Serve as the company’s primary internal owner for P&C claims across participating operating companies, including workers’ compensation, automobile liability, general liability and property.

• Conduct recurring claim reviews with TPAs, adjusters, brokers, operating company leadership and other appropriate parties.
• Challenge reserves, settlement strategies, litigation strategy, vendor utilization and claim handling where appropriate.
• Escalate significant, sensitive or poorly developing claims to executive leadership.

• Track claim closure rates, reserve development, claim duration, legal expense and other relevant performance indicators.

Captive Program Management

• Serve as the company’s primary internal point of coordination for its participation in the captive insurance program.
• Develop a strong understanding of captive funding mechanics, loss allocations, A-fund or similar retained-loss structures, shared loss experience, administrative charges and other factors affecting the company’s total cost of risk.
• Evaluate the economic consequences of claim submission and settlement decisions across individual operating companies and the consolidated organization.
• Monitor captive performance by operating company and coverage line.

Insurance Program & Renewals

• Coordinate the annual P&C renewal process with the company’s insurance broker and operating companies.
• Own the collection and validation of exposure information, loss data, renewal applications and supporting documentation.
• Analyze historical losses and current exposures to support decisions regarding deductibles, retentions, captive participation and risk transfer.

• Maintain visibility into insurance program structure, limits, deductibles, exclusions and material coverage issues.
• Coordinate with brokers and carriers on material coverage questions and program changes.

Analytics & Operating Company Partnership
