- Communicate Strategically: Draft formal coverage responses for policyholders, agents, and other stakeholders. Manage communications throughout the case lifecycle.
- Support Litigation: Assign and oversee defense counsel, develop litigation strategies, and assemble supporting evidence.
- Navigate Complex Policies: Interpret Workers' Compensation policies across voluntary and residual markets, including terminations, non-renewals, and lapses.
- Respond to Coverage Assertions: Address state-specific protocols, “Other States” provisions, and third-party insured claims.
- Drive Process Improvements: Identify coverage trends and recommend corrective actions to improve outcomes and reduce risk.
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with Legal, Claims, and other departments on subpoena responses, invoice processing, and litigation monitoring.
Qualifications:
Required:
- Juris Doctor (JD) or equivalent legal qualification.
- Strong analytical and organizational skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication abilities.
