We are recruiting for our claims department
We’re not a typical cycle insurer, all of our claims are handled in-house by a small and dedicated team of cyclists.
If a customer’s bike is stolen or damaged, we are responsible for collecting the customer’s information, verifying their claim, and then sourcing and replacing components or entire bikes.
We’re looking for more great characters to add to this exciting team. Someone who enjoys talking to people, who takes pride in their work, and who takes the initiative. Ideally, we would love someone who loves bikes.
If you think you’d be a good fit, please read through the job description and send us your application.
