Property Claims Specialist at HUB International

Job description

A path for every ambition. At HUB, we believe the best work happens when people are given real space to grow and then given the autonomy to exercise it. We power progress and protect ambition: for the clients who count on us, and equally for the people who make that possible every day. We’re creative thinkers and determined doers, guided by values that show up in how we work together: with empathy, adaptability, accountability and a genuine commitment to one another’s success. We foster bold ideas, celebrate curiosity and share what we know. Because when people grow, the work they do grows with them. Our purpose is deeply human: to help people navigate the world on their terms, at their speed, toward their future. We hold that same commitment to the people building careers here. Whether you’re starting out or leveling up, you’ll find the resources to evolve, the support to take on more and a team ready to back you at every stage. Your ambition has a home here.

We offer a commercial policy designed from the ground up to cover short-term rental properties — one of the fastest-growing and most nuanced segments in modern insurance. Our claims team is the cornerstone of how we deliver on that promise. We handle claims in a way that is faithful to the policy, built on genuine customer service, and designed to create confidence with the carriers who trust us with their paper.

You will be the primary point of contact for our insureds, and your work will directly shape their experience with Proper. What You’ll Do Coverage Analysis & Investigation Review policy forms, endorsements, and FNOL to determine coverage applicability. Identify relevant exclusions, conditions, and limitations — and document your rationale clearly. Conduct timely investigations through interviews, document review, vendor coordination, and inspections. File Management & Resolution Own your desk from assignment through closure with active diary management. Evaluate damages, challenge estimates where appropriate, and set reserves consistent with exposure. Negotiate settlements within your authority; escalate beyond it with a clear recommendation. Customer Experience Serve as the primary contact for insureds, agents, and vendors — and make them feel it. Explain coverage decisions in plain language; set expectations and follow through on commitments. Minimize status-check calls through proactive communication. Compliance & Audit Readiness Document all significant decisions and activities in the claims system contemporaneously. Adhere to internal guidelines and applicable regulatory requirements. Keep your files in an audit-ready state at all times. What We’re Looking For 3+ years of property claims adjusting experience required. Solid command of property coverage, policy forms, and claim best practices. Strong written and verbal communication — clear, concise, and well-documented. Sound analytical judgment: you assess the facts, weigh the options, and own the decision. Negotiation skill and professional composure in difficult conversations. Accountability mindset — you manage your desk with minimal handholding and escalate with solutions, not just problems. Experience with short-term rental, habitational, or specialty commercial property lines is a plus. Compensation & Benefits The expected salary range for this position is $75,000 to $85,000 and will be impacted by factors such as the successful candidate’s skills, experienc
