Zego · Halifax
Zego is an insurance technology firm that uses real‑time AI to create flexible coverage for drivers. The Large Loss Claims Handler will sit in the Complex Claims team, reporting to the Motor Major Loss Manager, and will be responsible for a portfolio of high‑value motor injury claims ranging from £500,000 to several million pounds. Day‑to‑day work includes investigating and negotiating settlements, calculating reserves, and applying liability, indemnity and quantum principles while coordinating with customers, solicitors, medical providers, reinsurers and internal underwriting teams. The role also involves launching a quality‑review programme, mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to strategic projects that shape the large‑loss function. The ideal candidate has proven experience handling high‑value motor bodily‑injury claims, a current handling authority of at least £250k, and deep knowledge of liability, causation, reserving, complex medical issues and litigation frameworks such as CPR and MIB. Strong communication, negotiation and analytical skills are essential, as is a willingness to work in a small, technically focused team that collaborates across underwriting, pricing and reinsurance.
