Help supervise a team that’s redefining efficiency in commercial auto claims.

At Great American Insurance Group, our Corporate Claims division is committed to delivering exceptional service and technical expertise. We’re looking for a Claims Supervisor to add to the management team of the Accelerated Auto Group—a high-volume, low-severity commercial auto claims unit supporting multiple internal divisions.

This is more than a supervisory role—it’s an opportunity to shape a growing team, drive quality, and make an impact across the organization. The Accelerated Auto Group is a start up shared service within the organization. The role includes exposure to divisional management as well as senior management within Corporate Claims. We are looking for someone with technical and supervisory expertise to grow their career within the Accelerated Auto Group and with the company.

The Claims Supervisor will work alongside the group’s Claims Manager to drive claim efficiencies while improving and maintaining claims compliance and overall claim quality. In addition to supervising a team within the Accelerated Auto Group team, the Claims Supervisor will maintain an active caseload. The percentage of claims handled will vary based on the number of direct reports.
