Graduate Claims Executive

About the role

• We are looking for two highly motivated university graduates to begin a career in claims within the marine insurance sector. As a mutual P&I Club, we insure shipowners and charterers all around the world. While our main office is in London, our presence in major shipping centres enables us to support Members regionally in close collaboration with our London teams.
• As part of our claims team, you will be responsible for handling a wide range of claims for our Members. We provide legal and strategic support of the highest standard, drawing on significant in house expertise and, because we insure liabilities, we often participate in and direct complex litigation and arbitration in London and many other jurisdictions worldwide, working alongside external lawyers and technical experts.
• Service is at the heart of what we do and you will play an integral role in promoting and sustaining relationships between the Club and our Members.
• As a new recruit, you will rotate through each of the three London based claims teams, spending six months with each, gaining exposure to our Members across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. To ensure you get a well rounded understanding of P&I insurance, you will also spend time with our Underwriting and Loss Prevention departments, as well as gaining insight into Reinsurance and Finance.
• As part of your training, you will be expected to complete at least Modules 1 and 2 of the P&IQ, the industry's formal qualification. There will also be plenty of learning and development opportunities throughout the 18 month programme.

Requirements

• What are we looking for?

If you have earned your bachelor's or master's degree in a discipline that demonstrates the ability to communicate complex ideas in a concise and digestible way, such as law, history, English, Classics, or modern languages, you might be the perfect fit for us.
• We are looking for individuals who are eager to learn, have a strong work ethic, and are driven to develop the skills needed for a successful career at Steamship. If you are a clear communicator, have an eye for detail and enjoy collaborative problem solving, you are already on the right path.
