Head of Marine Claims

You’re not the kind of Senior Marine claims professional who wants to sit quietly behind a desk, pushing paper and processing claims.

All candidates should make sure to read the following job description and information carefully before applying.

You want to influence, lead a team of less experienced Marine Claims Brokers and have the opportunity to use all your skills and the technical knowledge that you have developed over the years in the market

You want to be in the room with underwriters, along with your broker colleagues, shaping strategy, challenging decisions, and driving outcomes on complex, international Marine Cargo, Marine Hull and Liability claims.

After all, you have a true Claims Broker mentality!

And you’re looking for a role where that mindset is expected and be part of a business who will embrace your voice and experience.

This is a genuinely standout opportunity to join a highly respected Lloyd’s Broker in London, where Marine (and particularly Cargo) is a major success story within a 70-person business.

The team is busy, growing, and already performing at a high level but they need someone senior who can elevate their claims proposition even further.

Someone who sees claims as more than a process.

Someone who can partner closely with brokers, take a lead in market discussions, and bring a solutions-led, commercially minded approach to every file.

You’ll have real scope here, to shape claims strategy, influence how the team operates, and, in time, carve out a path toward a Head of role.

Your day to day (although you will have chance to own it)

• Own claims end-to-end: from first notification through to settlement, pushing progress and closing efficiently.
• Act as the client’s advocate: give clear, pragmatic advice, manage expectations, and keep them informed at every step.
• Drive the process with insurers and third parties: negotiate outcomes, answer queries, and remove blockers quickly.
• Stay sharp on market, policy, and legal detail to make confident, technically sound decisions.
• Keep the engine running: process notifications, updates, and documentation in line with procedures.
• Track money with intent: monitor collections/payments, chase outstanding items, and keep everything moving.

We’re open on background but have a strong preference to find someone with a good decade of experience in the space. Whether you’re currently with a broker or on the carrier side, what matters is your expertise in Marine and Marine Cargo claims, your ability to operate in a fast-paced environment, and your confidence in pushing the market to get results.

On offer is a salary in the £90,000 - £140,000 range including a suite of benefits which includes health insurance, pension and bonus. Even better, this opportunity can progress into a much larger one as the team expands.

You will be part of a hugely collaborative team who all get on and have each others backs in times of success and challenge - The business tend to operate in the office 4 times a week with 1 day from home.

If you’re ready to step into a role where your voice carries weight, this is worth a conversation. xwzovoh No CV? No problem, simply get in touch for more information and we can give you a call.
