• Providing claims guidance and support to Branch Managers, Fleet Controllers and operational stakeholders to improve claims quality, liability outcomes and recovery performance. 
• Assisting with fraud identification and investigation activities. 
• Preparing and contributing to regional claims and recovery reporting to support business performance and decision-making.
