Position Purpose and Summary 

The Insurance & Legal Claims Coordinator is not a filing function at the organization. It is the connective tissue between an incident and its resolution — the role that makes sure nothing falls through the cracks when something goes wrong. When intake is fast and documentation is airtight, legal counsel and leadership can respond with confidence. When it isn't, exposure grows and trust erodes.

Reporting to the Business Affairs Office, the Insurance & Legal Claims Coordinator is responsible for the intake, tracking, and coordination of incidents, claims, and complaints from initial receipt through resolution. This role ensures stakeholders are engaged, records are preserved, documentation is gathered, and communications stay timely; coordinates with the Vice President of Business Affairs, legal counsel, and insurance carriers; and organizes materials for executive leadership.

This is a high-accountability role with no tolerance for lost documentation or missed deadlines. The Litigation & Claims Coordinator sets the standard for accuracy, discretion, and responsiveness across every incident, claim, and complaint the organization touches.
