About this role

Introduction

At Gallagher Bassett, we're there when it matters most because helping people through challenging moments is more than just our job, it’s our purpose. Every day, we help clients navigate complexity, support recovery, and deliver outcomes that make a real difference in people’s lives. It takes empathy, precision, and a strong sense of partnership—and that’s exactly what you’ll find here. We’re a team of fast-paced fixers, empathetic experts, and outcomes drivers — people who care deeply about doing the right thing and doing it well. Whether you're managing claims, supporting clients, or improving processes, you’ll play a vital role in helping businesses and individuals move forward with confidence. Here, you’ll be supported by a culture that values teamwork, encourages curiosity, and celebrates the impact of your work. Because when you’re here, you’re part of something bigger. You’re part of a team that shows up, stands together, and leads with purpose.

Overview

 
This role serves as the single point of ownership for all captive escalations and complaints. The Lead will be the primary client‑facing leader for captive members, brokers, and stakeholders, ensuring every issue is acknowledged, navigated, resolved, and closed with discipline and professionalism.
 
This role is not administrative. It is a high‑judgment, service‑driven leadership role designed to protect relationships, drive accountability, and convert escalations into systemic improvement.

How you'll make an impact

 
  • Own all captive escalations and complaints from intake through final resolution and closure
  • Serve as the only client‑facing role for escalations (members/brokers/captives)
  • Set clear response expectations (“request received / response by X date”)
  • Navigate claims, RMs, supervisors, Quality, and Operations to secure timely responses
  • Escalate non‑responsiveness and step in to remove delays or blockers when work gets stuck
  • Conduct structured root cause analysis to identify repeat drivers
  • Translate escalation insights into remediation, coaching, and training needs
  • Identify risk patterns and emerging escalation trends
  • Partner with QPG, Claims, and Operations to dirve corrective actions and confirm remediation is effectively implemented and sustained.
