This role serves as a critical bridge between strategy and execution, collaborating closely with the other AVP’s across Claims leadership and partnering across the enterprise to modernize claims operations, leverage technology and data-driven insights, and enable continuous improvement. A key mandate of the role is to build the capabilities, processes, and innovations needed for the future while ensuring operations can effectively meet the demands of today. Success requires a leader who can balance day-to-day operational accountability with long-term transformation priorities, influence across diverse stakeholder groups, and cultivate a high-performing, customer-focused culture that is prepared for the future of claims management.

What You Will Do

Lead the execution of Claims Operations strategy by translating business priorities into actionable plans, partnering closely with the AVP’s across Claims, to align operational priorities, advance strategic initiatives, and drive performance, efficiency, and exceptional customer outcomes.

Drive operational excellence through effective governance, performance management, and continuous improvement practices that enhance service, quality, productivity, and financial outcomes.
Partner with Claims and enterprise leaders to identify and execute both short term continuous improvement and transformation opportunities that simplify processes, modernize operations, and improve employee and customer experiences.
With enablement support, develop and leverage data, analytics, and business insights to support Claims Operations and inform decision-making, identify emerging trends, and drive measurable business results.
Champion innovation and technology adoption, including automation and digital workforce capabilities, to increase straight-through processing, operational effectiveness, and scalability.
Lead cross-functional initiatives and foster strong partnerships across Operations, Technology, Finance, Human Resources, and other enterprise functions to deliver strategic outcomes.
Ensure effective resource allocation, workforce planning, and budget management to optimize capacity and support evolving business priorities.
Establish and maintain strong risk management, compliance, and operational controls to ensure adherence to regulatory and organizational requirements.
Build, develop, and inspire high-performing teams by creating an inclusive culture of accountability, collaboration, continuous learning, and leadership excellence.
Coach and develop leaders, strengthen succession pipelines, and create opportunities for talent growth across the Claims organization.
Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, providing strategic recommendations and insights that support the long-term evolution of Claims Operations.

What You Will Bring

10+ years of progressive leadership experience in insurance, claims, operations, business transformation, or a related field.
Strong business and operational acumen, with demonstrated success leading complex operations and delivering sustainable business results.
Proven experience developing and executing strategic initiatives while balancing operational priorities and transformation objectives.

Experience leading process improvement, operational modernization, automation, or digital transformation initiatives within a large and complex organization.
Strong financial acumen, including experience managing budgets, workforce investments, business cases, and operational performance.
Resilience and adaptability, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, lead through change, and inspire confidence during periods of transformation.
A collaborative leadership style that balances challenge and support, creates alignment, and drives accountability for results.
A commitment to leading self, leading others, leading the business, and leading together by demonstrating accountability, developing people, fostering collaboration, and delivering meaningful business outcomes.
