Reserv is an insurtech creating and incubating cutting-edge AI and automation technology to bring efficiency and simplicity to claims. Founded by insurtech veterans with deep experience in SaaS and digital claims, Reserv is venture-backed by Bain Capital and Altai Ventures and began operations in May 2022. We are focused on automating highly manual tasks to tackle long-standing problems in claims and set a new standard for TPAs, insurance technology providers, and adjusters alike.
We have ambitious (but attainable!) goals and need adjusters who can work in an evolving environment. If building a leading TPA and the prospect of tackling the long-standing challenges of the claims role sounds exciting, we can’t wait to meet you.
As a Team Lead at Reserv, you will be a working leader providing support to a Claims Manager with leadership and claim technical responsibilities.

We are looking for your background and experience to drive operational effectiveness, particularly through leveraging technology and analytics to improve efficiency and performance.
You will serve a critical role with the team, the customers, and the client. This role balances management responsibilities with individual contributor responsibilities when volume dictates the need for hands-on claim support.
