- Develop Internal Tools & Resources: Build scalable internal resources and educational materials for insureds, enabling lower-cost interventions for lower-risk accounts.
- Data-Driven Program Triggers: Redefine criteria for when APS/Loss Control services are offered using policy data, claims insights, and industry benchmarks to maximize spend-to-impact efficiency.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with internal stakeholders (Product, Engineering, Servicing, Legal) to operationalize program enhancements and reporting.
What We Need
- Experience: 5+ years experience in Loss Control and/or Accident Prevention Services at a commercial lines insurance carrier.
- Compliance Knowledge: Strong understanding of state APS/Loss Control requirements, safety regulations, and relevant standards (NFPA, OSHA, ICC/IBC).
- Strategic Thinking: Ability to build programs from the ground up, identify gaps, and implement scalable processes.
- Data-Driven Decision Making: Skilled at using data and analytics to optimize program triggers, vendor ROI, and risk reduction strategies.
- Collaboration Skills: Proven ability to work cross-functionally and influence stakeholders.
- Communication Skills: Clear communicator who can translate technical insights into actionable recommendations for business leaders and insureds.
- Technical Skills: Knowledge of Excel, SQL coding, and Tableau or equivalent required.
