Who's Clearcover?
Clearcover is the smarter car insurance company. We use powerful technology to offer everyday drivers better coverage for less money. We’re proud to be one of the fastest growing startups in Chicago, and we’re currently looking to add a few more extraordinary people to our team.

What is the Auto Physical Damage Claims Manager?
Everyone needs insurance, but let’s be transparent, nobody is excited about it.

At Clearcover, we know people have better ways to spend their money and more exciting things to do with their time, so we’re building a new kind of insurance company that gives people the insurance they need for a lot less of everything else. In other words, we save people serious time and money by helping them think about insurance less. Pretty cool, right?

We’re building something awesome. It doesn’t take much digging to see that insurance is outdated, but we’re building much more than a fancy app. We’re changing how an insurance company works. And we need your help.

The Auto Physical Damage Claims Manager has a unique chance to create a team to better serve Clearcover customers from the ground up. We strive to make the claims process fast, fair, and easy.

You should be patient, insightful, communicative and sincerely excited to help people. You should also be ready to take care of complex problems and people having frustrating days – this is still insurance, after all. You understand how to listen and value simplicity and clarity. We’re also looking for a self-directed, natural learner and problem solver. In other words, someone with autodidactic tendencies. Also, someone who will look that word up and confirm it’s used properly here. We had to.
