TrueNorth is seeking a Senior Claims Advocate to join our Risk Management Claims team. This role can be performed from one of our office locations. We live by our core values of Exceptionalism, Collaboration, and Resourcefulness - and we're looking for someone who is hungry, humble, and smart.
What this role is - and isn't. This is not a transactional claims role focused on moving information between carriers and clients. This is a strategic, client-facing position built around Risk Management claims, where you will act as a trusted advisor, drive proactive claims strategies, and influence outcomes rather than simply report on them. You will help clients reduce their total cost of risk over time and play a central role in evolving our claims function from reactive to proactive, including how we leverage technology and automation to work smarter.
Please be advised this position may close on or after 06/15/2025, without advance notice, should we receive a sufficient number of qualified applications.
What you'll do:
- Serve as a primary claims strategist for risk management clients — managing complex auto liability, workers’ compensation, general liability, and property claims from an outcome-driven perspective.
- Proactively engage with clients and carriers to shape claim direction, reserves, and resolution strategy — not just monitor status.
- Lead regular claims strategy sessions with clients, identifying trends, risk patterns, and actionable opportunities to improve performance.
- Partner with loss prevention and safety teams to translate claims insights into operational improvements.
- Manage and influence severe and catastrophic claims, including litigation oversight, mediations, and ADR strategies.
- Analyze claims data and deliver clear, confident guidance to clients on coverage positioning, frequency, severity, and long-term cost reduction.
- Facilitate structured claim reviews that go beyond status updates and drive meaningful decisions.
- Interpret policy language and advocate for favorable coverage positions on behalf of clients.
- Leverage technology, automation, and AI-powered tools to streamline claims workflows, surface early warning indicators, and shift the team's capacity from administrative tasks toward higher-value client advocacy.
- Identify opportunities to use data and predictive analytics to get ahead of claim trends, flag high-severity exposures early, and build more proactive client reporting.
- Lead onboarding of new transportation clients, establishing strong claims process alignment from day one.
- Mentor team members and help elevate the overall claims function toward a more strategic, tech-enabled model.
- Travel up to 20% to support client relationships and on-site engagement.
