As a Property Claims Adjuster, you will play a key role in managing homeowner property claims from the initial report of loss through investigation, negotiation, and final resolution. You will combine technical claims expertise, detailed coverage analysis, and accurate damage estimation to deliver fair and timely outcomes. Working directly with policyholders, claimants, independent agents, and external service providers, you will ensure a smooth, transparent, and customer-focused claims experience. You will leverage modern claims technology, including virtual inspection tools and AI-assisted platforms, to improve investigation efficiency and accuracy. You will also collaborate with specialized internal teams to identify potential fraud, recovery opportunities, and complex coverage issues.
