Job Description

Bsure Insurance Advisors is one of South Africa's most progressive and people-centric brokerages. We partner with a multitude of insurers and handle key binder functions across underwriting, claims management, and renewals — all while maintaining an obsessive focus on service, empowerment, and culture.

We don't micromanage. We believe in accountability, execution, and ownership. Our leaders operate with autonomy and integrity, constantly looking for better ways to structure, improve, and evolve the business.

We are looking for a dynamic, hands-on Head of Claims with 6–10 years' experience in the short-term insurance industry, the majority of which should be within the claims environment. You'll bring both leadership and operational depth — someone who can drive strategy and lead teams, but who also understands the nuances of claims workflows, client service, and insurer engagement.

This is a role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, empowered environment — someone who can make decisions, solve problems, and constantly challenge the status quo to make our claims experience best-in-class.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage the entire Claims Department across all lines of business.
  • Develop and execute claims strategies aligned with company growth and service goals.
  • Empower, mentor, and hold your team accountable for performance and client outcomes.
  • Drive innovation and continuous improvement in claims processes and customer experience.
  • Oversee front-end claims management and ensure efficient turnaround times.
  • Identify process gaps and implement practical, measurable solutions.
  • Maintain strong relationships with insurer partners, assessors, and service providers.
  • Ensure claims compliance with all binder and regulatory obligations.
  • Actively contribute to the leadership team — challenging and supporting where needed.
  • Foster a positive, high-performance culture that reflects Bsure's values of empowerment, integrity, and accountability.
  • Be proactive in suggesting restructuring, process improvements, or new initiatives that drive better outcomes for clients and teams.

Performance & Reporting

  • Monitor and manage claims ratios, turnaround times, and customer satisfaction metrics.
  • Provide data-driven insight and recommendations to the executive team.
  • Ensure operational reporting and performance tracking is accurate, clear, and actionable.
  • Requirements

  • 6–10 years' experience in short-term insurance, with a significant portion in claims.
  • Proven leadership or management experience within a claims environment.
  • Strong understanding of insurer relationships, binder structures, and compliance requirements.
  • Excellent communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
  • Able to operate autonomously while collaborating across multiple departments.
  • Driven, accountable, and motivated by results and continuous improvement.
  • Who You Are

  • Dynamic, decisive, and take ownership of outcomes.
  • You don't need to be micromanaged — you manage your space, your people, and your results.
  • Thrive in a culture that values empowerment, execution, and personal accountability.
  • Love working with people, solving problems, and finding better ways to do things.
  • Understand that leadership means both guarding and growing your team.
  • Why Bsure

    At Bsure, our people are the priority.

    We work hard, grow fast, and build together. You'll be joining a culture that believes in genuine empowerment, high accountability, and mutual respect — all in a team that's constantly expanding its footprint in the short-term insurance space.
