Pie Insurance is an insurtech company tackling meaningful problems. At Pie, we work with small businesses using technology and innovation to improve how they access insurance. Like our small business clients, we are a diverse team of builders, dreamers, and entrepreneurs. So, at the heart of every decision we make is the idea that if it doesn’t serve our clients, it doesn’t serve us. 

Today, all Pie-oneers are working remotely and will continue to do so until it is safe to return to the office. As a remote team member, you will be expected to be available for meetings with team members in other time zones and have access to reliable, high-speed internet. 

Pie Insurance is seeking a Claims Third Party Administrator (TPA) Manager to manage our workers’ compensation TPA claims program(s). This position will report to Pie’s Director of Claims, and work closely with Pie’s TPA as well as our internal legal and compliance, underwriting, and customer success teams to understand, review, and guide decisions regarding coverage, compensability, and loss control. You will partner with our TPA leadership and claims teams to ensure the injured workers are receiving prompt and appropriate medical care, returning to work as effectively as possible, and providing the very best claims experience.
