• Reporting claims and helping clients navigate the claims process from start to finish
• Following up on outstanding requests and keeping accounts organized and current
• Maintaining accurate information in carrier portals and Applied EPIC
• Developing strong working relationships with our insurance markets
• Keeping informed about changes to products, underwriting requirements, and the insurance marketplace
• Working with colleagues to create a consistent and positive client experience
