What is a contracts claims specialist?

Contracts claims refer to formal requests or assertions made by one party in a contract to another, usually seeking compensation, time extensions, or other remedies due to issues like delays, changes in work scope, or breaches of contract terms. These claims are common in industries such as construction and government contracting, where projects are complex and unforeseen issues can arise. Handling contract claims involves documentation, negotiation, and sometimes legal proceedings to resolve disputes and ensure fair outcomes for all parties involved.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a contracts claims specialist?

To thrive as a Contracts Claims Specialist, you need a solid understanding of contract law, strong analytical abilities, and experience in claims management, often backed by a relevant degree in law, business, or engineering. Familiarity with contract management systems, claims analysis tools, and sometimes certifications like Certified Professional Contracts Manager (CPCM) are typically required. Exceptional negotiation, communication, and attention to detail are vital soft skills for managing disputes and maintaining stakeholder relationships. These competencies ensure accurate claim resolution, minimize risks, and protect organizational interests during complex contractual disputes.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in a contracts claims role, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in a Contracts Claims role often encounter challenges such as managing tight deadlines for claim submissions, interpreting complex contract language, and gathering sufficient documentation to support claims. Effective communication with project teams and clients is essential to ensure all relevant information is collected and misunderstandings are minimized. Staying organized, maintaining detailed records, and proactively identifying potential claim issues early in the project can help mitigate these challenges and lead to more successful claim outcomes.

Contracts Claims professionals focus on managing disputes, claims, and legal issues related to contracts, often handling claims resolution and legal documentation. Contracts Administrators primarily oversee contract creation, compliance, and administration to ensure contractual obligations are met. While both roles work with contracts, Claims specialists handle disputes and claims, whereas Administrators focus on contract execution and management.

Job Title: Claims Manager, VSC

Location: US-SC- Greenville (onsite)

FLSA: Exempt

Company Overview:

Safe-Guard Product International serves Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), top retailers, and independent agents in the automotive finance and insurance industry with the leading Protection Products Platform. Our platform delivers innovative protection products and solutions that protect consumers from the perils of ownership, while providing Finance & Insurance professionals the tools to ignite scalable and sustainable business growth. Safe-Guard’s success is driven by over 850 employees, who serve more than 12,000 dealers and support contract holders across the U.S. and Canada.

For 30 years and counting, our team continues to transform the motor vehicle space, earning a stellar reputation from our partners and peers by providing: 1) the highest quality protection products in the industry, 2) a broad platform of branded product, technology, marketing, and training solutions, and 3) an unwavering commitment to uncomplicated care and customer service.

Position Overview:

The VSC Claims Operations Manager leads a team of Claims Supervisors and, through them, a broader organization of VSC Claims Adjudicators responsible for the timely, accurate, and consistent adjudication of Vehicle Service Contract claims. This role sits at the heart of the Safeguard Claims organization and is accountable for three equally critical dimensions of performance: (1) operational excellence in VSC claims adjudication, (2) exceptional people leadership — building engaged, high-performing teams through coaching, recognition, and development — and (3) strong client partnership, managing claims audits, escalations, and serving as a trusted operational resource for OEM and dealer clients.

The VSC Claims Operations Manager reports to the Director, VSC Claims, within a broader Safeguard Claims organization that also includes Tire & Wheel (TW) and GAP Claims. Direct reports to this Manager are VSC Claims Supervisors, each of whom oversees approximately 15 Claims Adjudicators. The Manager is the primary escalation point within VSC Claims for complex adjudication decisions, client issues, and people matters.

Key Responsibilities:

PEOPLE LEADERSHIP & CULTURE:

  • Lead and develop VSC Claims Supervisors, driving accountability, leadership effectiveness, and ongoing growth through structured coaching and feedback.
  • Foster a coaching culture ensuring consistent 1:1s, performance feedback, and career development for all Adjudicators.
  • Drive engagement and retention through recognition, inclusive team practices, and proactive morale management.
  • Lead change initiatives with transparency, equipping leaders to effectively navigate and communicate organizational updates.
  • Partner with HR and leadership on performance management, talent planning, succession, and maintaining visibility into team dynamics through skip-level engagement.

VSC CLAIMS OPERATIONS & TECHNICAL OVERSIGHT

  • Own end-to-end VSC Claims performance, ensuring adjudication accuracy, turnaround time, customer satisfaction, and cost control meet defined SLAs and KPIs.
  • Serve as the technical authority on VSC product lines, coverage structures, and underwriting guidelines, supporting sound and consistent claim decisions.
  • Provide hands-on guidance for complex, high-value, or disputed claims, enabling Supervisors to deliver accurate, defensible adjudication.
  • Ensure ongoing technical training for Adjudicators across mechanical systems and evolving coverages (including hybrid/EV), in partnership with QA to address skill gaps.
  • Drive operational excellence through performance analysis, process improvements, system enhancements, and enforcement of standardized SOPs.

CLIENT ENGAGEMENT & PARTNER MANAGEMENT

  • Act as the primary operational contact for OEM, dealer group, and third-party administrator clients on VSC Claims matters.
  • Lead audits end-to-end, ensuring readiness, presenting findings, and implementing corrective action plans.
  • Manage client escalations with urgency, delivering clear, timely, and defensible resolutions.
  • Build strong partnerships through proactive communication of performance metrics, trends, and operational insights.
  • Represent VSC Claims in business reviews and collaborate cross-functionally to address client needs and drive continuous improvement based on feedback.

STRATEGIC & CROSS-FUNCTIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS

  • Align with the Director and Claims leadership to drive organizational priorities, consistency, and best practice sharing.
  • Support workforce planning through staffing analysis, headcount recommendations, and hiring in partnership with Talent Acquisition.
  • Monitor VSC industry trends and translate insights into operational, training, and coverage adjustments.
  • Champion enterprise initiatives, ensuring alignment and adoption within the VSC Claims team.
  • Collaborate with peers to continuously improve processes, scalability, and overall team performance.

The above statements are intended only to describe the general nature of the job and should not be construed as an all-inclusive list of position responsibilities.

Job Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree OR equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience.
  • 5+ years of progressive experience in claims operations, with a minimum of 2 years managing Supervisors or team leads.
  • Demonstrated expertise in Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) claims adjudication — including working knowledge of powertrain, exclusionary, and stated-component coverage structures.
  • Solid functional understanding of automotive mechanical systems: engines, transmissions, drivetrain, electrical/electronic systems, HVAC, fuel systems, and emerging hybrid/EV technologies.
  • Proven track record of building engaged, high-performing teams through deliberate coaching, recognition, and people development.
  • Experience managing client relationships in a B2B environment: including audits, escalations, and executive-level communications.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; confident presenter to clients, senior leadership, and cross-functional partners.
  • Strong analytical skills: ability to interpret operational metrics, identify root causes, and develop data-driven improvement plans.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams) and claims management systems.
  • Must be authorized to work in the U.S
  • Must be able to successfully pass a background check

Preferred:

  • ASE certification or formal automotive technical training.

  • Familiarity with NADA, CCC, or Mitchell repair estimate platforms.
  • Contact center or high-volume claims processing environment experience.
  • Exposure to EV/hybrid vehicle powertrain coverage and next-generation service contract product design
