The Role
JOB DESCRIPTION
The Portfolio Solutions Claims Manager will proactively oversee all claims arising from the global Portfolio Solutions division, which includes a diverse range of multi‑class facilities written via Lloyd’s and non‑Lloyd’s platforms. The postholder will be responsible for the accurate and fair evaluation of claims and will play a key role in supporting the commercial performance of the Portfolio Solutions division.
The role will work closely with underwriters to analyse claims data and trends, design and implement operational processes for onboarding new facilities, optimise the efficiency of existing facility workflows, and act as the principal claims liaison for strategic broker partners. While initially a non-management position, it is envisaged that the position will grow to include line‑management responsibility within the first year, supporting the development of a high‑performing claims capability within the Portfolio Solutions division.
Responsibilities Will Include
Portfolio Management

- Maintain strong relationships with underwriters, actuaries, risk, legal, finance and delegated authority teams.
Governance, Compliance & Reporting
- Ensure all claims activities adhere to internal policies, Lloyd’s standards and other regulatory requirements.
- Provide advisory input into regulatory reporting for Portfolio Solutions.
- Support MI, reporting cycles and internal claims forums.
Skills
- Experience of working within the London market or commercial (re)insurance environment preferred; experience within claims advantageous but not essential.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder‑engagement skills.
- Strong organisational skills, initiative and resilience.
- Strong commitment to customer service and continuous improvement.
- Strong analytical capability with ability to interpret data.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office and interest in AI and process optimisation.
- Demonstrable potential for people management.
