About the Role

We're looking for a Claims Subrogation Specialist to join Bear River Mutual Insurance.

This role is a strong entry point for someone looking to begin a career in claims, while also offering meaningful opportunities for experienced candidates.

• Coordinate with frontline claims staff and leadership to support smooth handoffs, timely responses, and reduced arbitration or litigation risk.
• Pursue recovery from tort carriers, arbitrate when necessary, and maintain thorough documentation, detailed file notes, and supporting evidence.
• Track key performance indicators, including cycle time, recovery rate, and reserve accuracy, and communicate status updates, risks, and next steps to stakeholders.
• Initiate outbound and respond to inbound communications with insureds, vendors, counsel, and other insurance carriers.
• Print, prepare, and mail official correspondence related to recovery efforts.
• File new claim reports received through inbound demands for claims that have not yet been reported.
• Assist the total loss department with administrative paperwork and telephone communications.
• Contribute to special projects and other tasks as assigned.

• Communicate professionally and clearly with policyholders, carriers, vendors, counsel, and internal team members.
• Build strong working relationships across the claims department and with external business partners.
• Maintain organized, accurate documentation that supports timely and effective claim resolution.

• You Embrace Continuous Improvement: You are open to feedback, willing to learn, and interested in improving processes, outcomes, and your own claims knowledge.
• You Are Adaptable: You remain flexible as priorities shift, new information becomes available, or claim circumstances change.
