Job Description:

Our client, an independent Bahamian loss adjusting firm, is seeking an experienced Managing Director / Principal Adjuster to lead the firm’s operations, technical standards, and growth strategy.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role combining executive management with direct adjusting on the firm’s most complex and highest-value assignments.

This role is based full-time, onsite in Nassau, The Bahamas. We’re especially keen to hear from UK-based Chartered Loss Adjusters open to relocating — CAT/hurricane experience gained internationally translates directly, and relocation support will be discussed with the right candidate.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Leading the firm’s strategic direction, business development, and client relationships across insurers, brokers, and reinsurers in the Bahamian and wider Caribbean market
  • Taking personal carriage of major, complex, and catastrophe-related loss assignments — property, liability, engineering/construction, marine, and motor
  • Directing hurricane/CAT response: activating surge rosters, triaging high-volume post-storm inspections, and managing field teams across Nassau and the Family Islands
  • Overseeing report quality, reserving, settlement negotiation, and file governance
  • Managing the firm’s financial performance, fee structures, and operational compliance

What you’ll bring:

  • Licensed, or eligible for licensing, as an insurance adjuster in The Bahamas (support provided with the licensing process)
  • Substantial property and casualty loss adjusting experience, including catastrophe/major-loss work — hurricane claims experience (windstorm, flood, storm surge, BI, structural and contents losses) is essential
  • CILA or ACII professional designation
  • Strong technical report writing, negotiation, and client-facing communication skills
  • A background in construction, engineering, law, or finance is an advantage

Why this role: a genuinely senior, P&L-owning position in one of the most active hurricane markets in the world, with real autonomy to shape a growing independent firm’s direction — not just adjust files.
