This role requires strong independent judgment and decision-making abilities to manage claims autonomously while knowing when to escalate complex matters.

The role requires cross-collaboration across Parsyl's teams, from Data Science to Finance, and comfort working with technology platforms as we continue to build out our claims administration system. Strong candidates are excellent communicators both verbally and in writing, extremely meticulous, process-oriented, and inquisitive. A customer-focused mindset is crucial.
