Take the Lead in Complex Global Aviation Claims - Join Our Specialty TPA Team as a Claims Executive

Join our Specialty TPA Claims team as a Claims Executive and play a pivotal role in managing complex aviation claims for leading London Market insurers. In this position, you'll take ownership of a diverse portfolio of international aviation claims, including aircraft damage (hull), passenger and third-party liability, cargo, and ground handling incidents, operating within delegated authority limits. You'll make critical decisions on liability, coverage, reserves, and settlements, ensuring accuracy and compliance at every stage.

This is a dynamic role requiring strong negotiation skills, technical curiosity, and the ability to work independently within a fast-moving, global environment. You'll liaise directly with insurers, brokers, aviation operators, legal representatives, and other stakeholders, representing our organisation with expertise and professionalism. From attending client meetings to supporting audits and driving continuous improvement, you'll play a key role in delivering exceptional service and maintaining trusted client relationships. If you thrive in a specialist, high-value claims environment and enjoy working on complex, cross-border matters, this role offers the opportunity to make a real impact.

What you'll need:

• Negotiation expertise - Strong ability to influence outcomes and secure fair settlements across complex aviation losses.
• Time management - Excellent organisational skills to manage a varied portfolio of claims efficiently.
• Analytical mindset - Ability to assess liability, policy coverage, quantum, and reserves accurately.
• Problem-solving skills - Sound judgement in resolving technically complex aviation claim scenarios.
• Communication skills - Confident engagement with insurers, brokers, legal representatives, and aviation stakeholders.
• Independence - Confidence to make autonomous decisions within delegated authority.
• Claims handling experience - Proven background handling liability or complex claims (aviation experience advantageous but not essential).
• Regulatory knowledge - Understanding of compliance requirements, London Market processes, and audit standards.
• Relationship building - Ability to build and maintain strong client and stakeholder relationships in a global market.

What we'll give you for this role:

Remuneration & more

• Competitive salary taking into account skills, experience and qualifications
• A Self Invested Personal Pension Scheme (SIPP)
• Holiday allowance of 25 days plus bank holidays
• Flexible working from our office or your home
