[Hiring] Product SME @Assured

Role Description

Assured Insurance Technologies is seeking a Product SME to lead a comprehensive evaluation of the end-to-end property claims process. This role will focus on understanding how claims move from First Notice of Loss (FNOL) through resolution, how decisions are made and documented, how data flows across systems, and where operational and product improvements can meaningfully impact cycle time, accuracy, customer experience, and financial performance. This role sits at the intersection of Product, Engineering, and Analytics and is expected to drive meaningful, company-wide impact.

• Conduct an end-to-end review of the property claims lifecycle
• Examine the full claim journey—FNOL intake, inspection, coverage evaluation, cause of loss determination, scope and estimate development, reserving, vendor coordination, settlement, and closure—identifying friction points and opportunities for automation.
• Develop deep expertise in how property claims decisions are made and supported by data
• Understand what information adjusters rely on (inspection reports, photos/videos, contractor estimates, policy data, weather data, third-party reports), how it is structured in the system, and where gaps or inefficiencies exist.
• Identify breakdowns in claim workflow and documentation
• Surface inconsistencies in data capture, estimate accuracy, reserve alignment, vendor handoffs, task routing, approvals, customer communications, or downstream reporting that impact claim outcomes.
• Own the integrity of core claims data across systems
• Ensure key indicators (coverage determination, cause of loss, damage scope, reserve position, estimate accuracy, settlement status) are accurately captured and consistently reflected across product, operational, and financial views.
• Define standards for claims quality and defensibility
• Establish expectations for inspection quality, documentation rigor, estimate accuracy, decision rationale, reserve adequacy, and alignment between damage assessments and financial outcomes.
• Partner cross-functionally to resolve systemic issues
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Claims Operations, Analytics, and Leadership to address root causes impacting claim efficiency, estimate accuracy, vendor performance, and customer experience.
• Improve both inputs and outputs across the claims process
• Enhance how property damage data is collected (e.g., inspections, imagery, estimates) and structured, and improve how insights are delivered through dashboards, reporting, automation workflows, and AI models.
• Translate insights into measurable product improvements
• Prioritize enhancements that reduce cycle time, improve loss ratio performance, minimize leakage, strengthen reserving accuracy, improve customer satisfaction, and increase operational efficiency.
• Influence roadmap decisions with financial and operational context
• Clearly articulate business impact across indemnity spend, expense management, vendor costs, subrogation recovery, litigation exposure, adjuster productivity, and customer retention.
• Serve as the internal subject-matter expert on the property claims lifecycle
• Guide best practices for inspections, scoping and estimating, vendor coordination, documentation standards, and automation opportunities.
• Align teams around consistent process standards
• Partner across Claims, Product, Engineering, Finance, and Customer Success to ensure shared understanding and disciplined execution.
• Communicate clearly across audiences
• Present findings and recommendations effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Prior experience working at a major carrier as a property claims adjuster (field or desk)
• Deep understanding of the end-to-end property claims process within P&C (including inspections, scoping, estimating, and settlement)
• Experience working closely with product, engineering, data, and operational teams
• Proven ability to assess complex workflows and identify high-impact improvements
• Comfort owning ambiguous, high-leverage initiatives with measurable financial impact
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
