3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Claims Settlement Authority	Up to £5K (with supervisor sign-off)	Up to £50K (independent for routine claims, manager sign-off for exceptions)	Up to £250K (independent for most claims, Director consultation for 'bet the company' cases)

Budget Allocation & Vendor Selection	No authority	Recommend vendors for specific claims (e.g., adjusters, experts)	Select vendors for complex claims up to £5K (within pre-approved panel)
Team Hiring & Performance	No authority	Provide feedback on new hires	Interview and provide input on specialist hires, mentor junior staff

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Combined Ratio / Loss Ratio Contribution

Your team's contribution to keeping the overall claims cost (losses + expenses) in line with premium income.

Target · Contribute to a departmental target of <95% combined ratio (or similar, depending on business line).

If the business unit's target combined ratio is 95%, your claims team's performance directly impacts whether we hit that. You'll be looking at the average cost of claims, how quickly we close them, and how much we're recovering.

Loss Adjustment Expense (LAE) Ratio

Managing the costs associated with handling claims (e.g., legal fees, adjusters, expert reports) as a percentage of total claims paid.

Target · Keep departmental LAE within 1-2% of the annual budget.

If your budget for external legal fees is £500K for the quarter, you'll need to make sure your team's spend stays close to that, making smart decisions about when to litigate versus settle.

Net Recovery Rate (Subrogation)

The percentage of claims where we successfully recover funds from a third party responsible for the loss.

Target · Achieve >30% recovery on claims with identified subrogation potential across your portfolio.

Out of £10M in claims where we identified a potential third-party recovery, your team successfully got back £3.5M. That's a 35% recovery rate, which is brilliant.

Claimant Net Promoter Score (NPS) / Customer Satisfaction (CSAT)

How satisfied our claimants are with the claims experience, despite the difficult circumstances they're often in.

Target · Achieve a positive or neutral NPS/CSAT score for your managed claims portfolio.

We're aiming for a score where more claimants are promoters than detractors, meaning they'd recommend us even after a claim. It's tough, but it shows we're doing things right.

Team Development & Retention

How well you're building, coaching, and retaining a high-performing team of claims specialists.

Low voluntary turnover within your team
successful internal promotions from your direct reports
positive feedback in 1-on-1s and performance reviews
your team consistently meeting or exceeding their individual targets
active participation in training programmes.

Strategic Initiative Delivery

Leading and delivering on key strategic projects that improve claims efficiency, compliance, or customer experience.

Projects delivered on time and within budget
measurable business impact from your initiatives (e.g., process improvements, new technology adoption)
successful rollout of new claims policies or guidelines
positive feedback from project stakeholders.

Regulatory Compliance & Audit Performance

Ensuring your claims operations adhere to all relevant international and local regulations, and performing well in internal and external audits.

Zero major audit findings related to your team's claims handling
proactive identification and resolution of compliance gaps
timely updates to claims policies in response to regulatory changes
positive feedback from compliance and legal teams.

Cross-Functional Influence & Collaboration

Your ability to work effectively with other departments (like Underwriting, Finance, Legal) to achieve shared goals and improve overall business outcomes.

Invited to cross-functional planning meetings
your input is sought on new product development or policy wording
successful resolution of inter-departmental conflicts
positive feedback from peer managers in other functions.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Shaping Strategy & Driving Impact

You'll spend time analysing claims trends, identifying opportunities for process improvement, and presenting your ideas to senior leadership. You'll enjoy seeing your strategic decisions translate into tangible financial benefits or improved customer outcomes.

You propose and implement a new fraud detection protocol that reduces leakage by £500K in its first year, directly impacting the company's profitability.

Developing & Leading People

A significant part of your day will involve coaching, mentoring, and guiding your team. You'll get satisfaction from seeing your direct reports grow in their roles, take on more responsibility, and achieve their career goals.

You mentor a Senior Claims Specialist who, under your guidance, successfully navigates a complex multi-jurisdictional litigation, leading to a favourable settlement and a promotion for them.

Navigating Complexity & Solving Big Problems

You thrive on untangling complex international legal issues, figuring out how to get disparate systems to talk to each other, or resolving high-stakes disputes. The bigger the challenge, the more engaged you are.

You successfully resolve a 'bet the company' claim involving multiple insurers, international arbitration, and significant reputational risk, saving the organisation millions.

What frustrates people

The constant pressure to balance cost control with fair claims handling, often leading to difficult trade-offs.
Dealing with legacy systems that hinder efficiency and make data analysis a nightmare.
Navigating the bureaucratic hurdles of different international legal and regulatory environments.
Managing team members' expectations and career paths, especially when resources are tight.
The 'time zone tax' – early morning calls with Asia, late evening calls with the Americas, making a standard 9-to-5 feel like a distant dream.

What this role does not give you

A purely technical, individual contributor path without any people management responsibilities.
A role where you can avoid difficult conversations or strategic decision-making.
A static, predictable environment with no unexpected challenges or urgent requests.

6Who you work with

This role directly influences the company's financial health by managing a significant portion of our P&L related to claims. You'll shape our strategy for risk mitigation, ensure we meet our regulatory obligations, and protect our brand's reputation with fair and efficient claims handling. Get it right, and you save us millions; get it wrong, and it costs us millions. Simple as that, really.

Inside the business

Director of International Claims (your boss)
Finance Leadership (CFO, Head of Financial Planning)
Underwriting Teams (they need to know what claims are actually costing us)
Legal & Compliance (for regulatory advice and dispute resolution)
Risk Management (to understand emerging threats)
Internal Audit (they'll check your processes)

Outside the business

External Legal Counsel (often in multiple jurisdictions)
Loss Adjusters & Forensic Accountants (our eyes and ears on the ground)
Regulators (they'll be watching us)
Major Commercial Clients (their experience matters)
Industry Bodies (for best practice and networking)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

Proven experience (typically 8-12 years) as a Lead International Claims Specialist or a similar senior role, demonstrating a track record of handling complex claims and driving results.
Demonstrable experience in leading or mentoring a team, with a clear understanding of performance management and people development principles.
A deep, practical understanding of the end-to-end international claims lifecycle, including subrogation, adjudication, and dispute resolution across multiple jurisdictions.
Strong financial acumen, including experience managing budgets and understanding how claims impact the P&L and balance sheet.
The ability to think strategically, identifying long-term trends and translating them into operational plans.
Excellent communication and negotiation skills, capable of influencing senior stakeholders and external partners.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Data Governance & Ethics

With more data being collected and AI being used, the ethical implications are huge. You'll need to ensure data used in claims is accurate, unbiased, and compliant with privacy regulations. This involves understanding data lineage, quality, and the ethical use of algorithms.

Data Lineage & Quality · Algorithmic Bias Detection · Data Privacy & Anonymisation Techniques · Ethical AI Principles

This month: Review our company's data governance policies and identify any gaps related to claims data.
Next quarter: Engage with our Data Privacy Officer to understand emerging regulations and best practices.
Month 4-6: Lead a discussion with your team on the ethical implications of using AI in claims, particularly regarding fairness and transparency.
Month 7-9: Work with our Legal and Compliance teams to develop clear guidelines for ethical data use and AI deployment within your claims function.

Quick win: Start questioning the source and quality of any data you use for strategic decisions. If you can't trust the data, you can't trust the insights.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attending industry conferences and seminars on international claims, insurance law, and risk management.
Participating in leadership development programmes, especially those focused on coaching, strategic influence, and change management.
Engaging with industry bodies and professional networks to stay abreast of emerging trends and best practices.
Undertaking continuous learning on new technologies, particularly AI and data analytics, and their application in claims.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: AI-Driven Claims Optimisation & Automation

AI isn't just for data scientists anymore; it's becoming a core tool for claims managers. Competitors are already using AI to predict claim severity, automate reserving, and identify process bottlenecks. Managers who can harness this will gain a significant competitive advantage and drive massive efficiencies.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) & Sustainable Claims Practices

Customers, investors, and regulators are increasingly scrutinising companies' ESG performance. Claims handling, especially in international contexts (e.g., disaster response, supply chain disruptions), has a significant ESG footprint. Managers need to integrate these considerations into their strategy, from supplier selection to recovery efforts.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how International Claims Manager is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, as a manager, your time is precious. You're constantly juggling strategic planning, team development, and overseeing complex claims. The good news? AI isn't here to replace you; it's here to supercharge your team and free you up to do what only you can do: lead.

We're not just talking about automating simple tasks. We're talking about using AI to give you a strategic edge, to help you spot trends faster, manage risk more effectively, and ensure your team is working on the most impactful stuff. Think of AI as your claims operations co-pilot, handling the grunt work so you can focus on the bigger picture.

Automated Document Indexing & Data Extraction

Imagine AI reading through thousands of invoices, police reports, and customs declarations in multiple languages, pulling out all the key dates, amounts, and parties, and automatically populating your claims system. For you, this means cleaner, faster data for strategic analysis and less time spent chasing manual entries from your team.

AI-Powered Fraud & Anomaly Detection

AI models can flag suspicious patterns across your entire claims portfolio that no human could ever spot. It'll highlight unusual claim frequencies from a specific region, networked claimants, or inconsistencies in loss descriptions. This lets you direct your investigation resources to the highest-risk areas, protecting our bottom line.

Claims Portfolio Analytics & Trend Spotting

Instead of waiting for manual reports, AI can provide real-time dashboards showing emerging claims trends, potential subrogation opportunities, and performance gaps within your team's portfolio. You'll get instant insights into average claim severity, days to close, and expense ratios, helping you make proactive strategic decisions.

Intelligent Policy & Compliance Review

New regulations or policy changes can be a headache to analyse for their claims impact. AI can quickly scan new legal texts or internal policy drafts, highlight relevant sections, and even suggest how they might affect your claims handling guidelines. This keeps your team compliant and your processes up-to-date with minimal effort.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows an International Claims Manager, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 9 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming an International Claims Manager: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 5

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Finance roles

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain in this role are highly transferable. You could move into broader operational leadership roles within the insurance sector, or even transition into risk management, compliance, or consulting roles in other financial services industries. Your expertise in international finance, legal frameworks, and people leadership is highly sought after.

Not sure this is the right direction?

Work out what you actually want from work first, then come back and see which roles fit it. Takes about ten minutes.
