Job Description
Introduction:
About you:
At Gallagher Bassett, we're there when it matters most because helping people through challenging moments is more than just our job, it’s our purpose. Every day, we help clients navigate complexity, support recovery, and deliver outcomes that make a real difference in people’s lives. It takes empathy, precision, and a strong sense of partnership—and that’s exactly what you’ll find here. We’re a team of fast-paced fixers, empathetic experts, and outcomes drivers — people who care deeply about doing the right thing and doing it well. Whether you're managing claims, supporting clients, or improving processes, you’ll play a vital role in helping businesses and individuals move forward with confidence. Here, you’ll be supported by a culture that values teamwork, encourages curiosity, and celebrates the impact of your work. Because when you’re here, you’re part of something bigger. You’re part of a team that shows up, stands together, and leads with purpose.
Overview:
This role serves as the single point of ownership for all captive escalations and complaints. The Leader will be the primary client‑facing leader for captive members, brokers, and stakeholders, ensuring every issue is acknowledged, navigated, resolved, and closed with discipline and professionalism.

- Set clear response expectations (“request received / response by X date”)
- Navigate claims, RMs, supervisors, Quality, and Operations to secure timely responses
- Escalate non‑responsiveness and step in to remove delays or blockers when work gets stuck
- Conduct structured root cause analysis to identify repeat drivers
- Translate escalation insights into remediation, coaching, and training needs
- Identify risk patterns and emerging escalation trends
- Partner with QPG, Claims, and Operations to dirve corrective actions and confirm remediation is effectively implemented and sustained.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- High school diploma
- Workers Comp claims handling and lead experience
- Seeking strong captive and formal leadership experience
- 9 or more years of workers compensation claims experience
- Knowledge of accepted industry standards and practices
