What I Do as a Motor Claims Specialist
Here's what a day can look like:

• Phone-Based Role: This is an inbound phone-based role, where I connect with customers directly, offering support and guidance at a time when they need it most.
• Be the First Point of Reassurance: When someone lodges a claim, I'm often their first conversation after a stressful moment. I really listen and help them feel heard and supported.
• Guide Customers Through Their Claim: I walk them through what happens next, explain what's covered, and make things simple, so they always know what to expect.
• Solve Problems and Think on My Feet: Every claim is different. I look for solutions, use my judgement, and make fair decisions that balance empathy with policy.
• Objection and Complaint Handling: At times, I'll need to manage objections or handle complaints, addressing concerns while maintaining professionalism and empathy.
• Critical Thinking: Each situation requires critical thinking to assess and determine the best course of action for both the customer and the company.
• Lean on the Team: We debrief after tough calls, share wins, and help each other learn because at Suncorp, you're never on your own.
