Claims Officer
Make a real impact by helping our commercial customers navigate the unexpected.
At Suncorp, we’re proud to support Australian businesses when things go wrong. We’re looking for a proactive, customer-focused Claims Officer with strong liability experience to join our Commercial Property Liability team.
In this role, you’ll manage a portfolio of third-party property damage claims – where a customer’s business may have unintentionally caused damage to someone else’s property. We’re seeking someone who’s confident interpreting policy coverage and assessing liability, with a solid understanding of commercial insurance principles. You'll be the key point of contact for brokers, insured businesses, and claimants, delivering clear, fair, and timely outcomes from lodgement through to finalisation.
What you’ll do
Manage a portfolio of property liability claims end-to-end, from lodgement to settlement
Assess policy coverage and determine legal liability in complex, sometimes ambiguous situations
Communicate effectively with brokers, insured customers, and third-party claimants
Coordinate with internal stakeholders including Assessors, Legal, and Recoveries teams
Identify and support vulnerable customers where needed
Monitor claim progress, escalate delays, and contribute to continuous improvement
Maintain a high standard of customer service while meeting compliance and quality standards
What you’ll bring
Proven experience managing liability claims – preferably commercial third-party property damage or similar lines
A solid grasp of liability principles, policy interpretation, and claims decision-making
Strong communication skills – verbal and written – with a focus on clarity and professionalism
Sound judgement and the ability to apply critical thinking in complex scenarios
Confidence to work autonomously while contributing to a collaborative team
A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with strong organisational skills
Empathy, resilience, and a genuine desire to help customers through challenging situations
Familiarity with claims systems like Claims Centre is a bonus
