Reserv is an insurtech creating and incubating cutting-edge AI and automation technology to bring efficiency and simplicity to claims. Founded by insurtech veterans with deep experience in SaaS and digital claims, Reserv is venture-backed by Bain Capital and Altai Ventures and began operations in May 2022. We are focused on automating highly manual tasks to tackle long-standing problems in claims and set a new standard for TPAs, insurance technology providers, and adjusters alike.
We have ambitious (but attainable!) goals and need adjusters who can work in an evolving environment. If building a leading TPA and the prospect of tackling the long-standing challenges of the claims role sounds exciting, we canÂt wait to meet you.
About the role
We are seeking a skilled Litigation Claims Examiner to manage litigated files and attend trials, conferences, mediations, and arbitrations. The successful candidate will:

Who you are

 Creative. You can find the right exit ramp (pun intended) for the resolution of the claim that is in the insuredÂs best interest.
 Conflict-enjoyer. Conflict does not have to be adversarial, but it HAS to be conversational.
 Curious. You have to want to know the whole story so you can make the right decisions early and action them to a prompt resolution.
 Anti-status quo. You donÂt just wish things were done differently, you action on it.
 Communicative. (we'd love to know what this means to you)
