The Opportunity

We're looking for a Liability Claims Adjuster to help us manage a growing volume of third-party homeowners liability claims with the same rigor and customer focus we bring to every part of the claims process. As Kin's book of business expands, this role is critical to protecting our customers and stakeholders through complex casualty files involving bodily injury, property damage, and litigation. You'll bring deep third-party claims expertise to a team that's actively rethinking how insurance should work.

Your Responsibilities

• Investigate coverage, liability, and damages on casualty claim files involving complex issues, severe injuries, and multiple parties

• Conduct recorded statements, consult with police and experts, inspect property damage, and review medical records to build a complete claim picture

• Evaluate liability and damages exposure, including bodily injury and property damage

• Set and adjust reserves based on ongoing investigation findings

• Manage pre-suit and litigation claims with outside counsel, including mediations, depositions, and other litigation events

• Identify and refer potential subrogation or fraud indicators

• Maintain clear, accurate claim file documentation in compliance with state regulations and company guidelines

• Own a caseload of claims from first notice of loss through resolution

• Use AI tools where they support faster, more accurate claims handling, consistent with team practice

Success in This Role

In your first 6–12 months at Kin, success is less about checking boxes and more about the impact you create. You'll use your skills and judgment to take ownership of meaningful work, improve how we operate, and help move Kin's mission forward. Along the way, you'll deliver outcomes that make a real difference for both Kinfolk and the homeowners we serve.

By the end of your first year, you should feel confident in your role, trusted as an owner, and proud of the progress you've helped make.

• A full caseload of liability claims is being managed accurately and on time, from FNOL through resolution

• Litigation files are progressing smoothly with outside counsel, with no missed deadlines or preventable escalations

• Reserve accuracy has improved through consistent, well-documented investigation practices

• Subrogation and fraud referrals are being caught early and handled appropriately

What You'll Bring

• 1–2 years minimum experience adjusting liability property claims, including bodily injury and property damage

• Direct experience working attorney-represented, litigated claims

• Working knowledge of multiple state insurance laws and good faith claims handling

• Active adjuster license(s) in required states, or ability to obtain one within a defined timeframe

• Ability to manage a high-volume caseload with competing deadlines

• Strong negotiation and conflict resolution skills in claim settlement contexts

• Data-driven, analytical approach to evaluating liability and damages

Bonus if you have:

• Prior carrier experience

How we work

We don’t just hire for skills. We hire for alignment. Kinfolk bring diverse perspectives, but we’re united by a shared set of values that shape how we work and how we show up for each other and our customers.

Run through walls, together - Every one of us is responsible for creating the culture we want to work in. High performance. Low drama. Always respectful. We assume the best in each other and challenge ideas, not intentions. We show up, work hard, and play to each other's strengths — because that’s how great teams win.

Raise the bar. Drop the ego - Attitudes are contagious. Every one of us is responsible for creating the culture we want to work in. High performance. Low drama. Always respectful. Like professional sports teams, we win by working in sync. We show up, work hard, and play to each other’s strengths.

Act like an owner - We are owners, fully accountable for achieving Kin’s mission. That requires positive, proactive, big-picture thinking well beyond our job descriptions. Ask questions, Take ownership. Do the right thing, even when it‘s hard. Because when Kin thrives, so do you. And so do our customers.

Operate lean. Deliver more - We build efficiency into everything we do. Each dollar we save gets reinvested to deliver more to our customers: better pricing, more products, and new innovations. We work smarter by relentlessly prioritizing and using technology, including AI, to multiply our impact. Lean is about focus, not deprivation. Lean isn't a limitation — it's our competitive advantage.

Keep asking ‘What if?’ - We value curiosity. To make insurance better for our customers, we experiment. We embrace insights. And we base decisions on data rather than assumptions. We see setbacks as opportunities for growth and are always learning and improving. Both individually and as a company.
