Opportunity for a 4 day a week role in the Complaint Liaison team being a contact point between the Lloyd’s market and Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) to assist with the resolution of UK policyholder complaints that have already been reviewed by the Market but the policyholder remains dissatisfied with the outcome and has escalated their complaint for review by FOS. In addition, you will have responsibility for the handling of complaints referred to Department of Insurance (DOI) in the US.
Complaints against Lloyd’s underwriters are made against the Society of Lloyd’s and as such it is imperative that policyholder complaints are handled in an appropriate manner.

- Complaints referred to US Department of Insurance by policyholders are responded to appropriately and within the DOI deadline by managing agents or their representatives, failure to do so can result in actions being taken by the DOI with regard to Lloyd’s licenses.
- High profile or contentious issues are escalated as required as per internal guidelines
Duties include:
- To mentor and provide technical guidance to other case officers and to take a leading role within technical discussions and knowledge sharing.
- To build and maintain relationships with key internal and external stakeholders through frontline and daily contact. These include FOS, managing agents, coverholders, delegated complaint administrators and other areas within the Policyholder and Third Party Oversight team.

- To ensure the update and maintenance of data in the Complaints Monitoring databases to ensure accuracy of UK and international regulatory reports, internal management information to both manage internal workloads and provide data to oversee the Lloyd’s Market and to correctly charge case fees.
- To identify and record non-compliance with the UK complaints code and international complaint handling requirements by managing agents and their representatives to allow for these issues to be addressed and escalated to Management team.
- To review on an ongoing basis work processes with a view to continual improvement in the handling of complaints.
- To ensure compliance with the requirements of Lloyd’s Complaints Protocol.
