Senior Claims Manager – Logistics / Carrier (all genders)

Köln, Hybrid
Full or part-time
Permanent employee
55,000 - 66,000 € per year

What You'll Do

  • Handle claims and liability cases independently, from intake to fully documented closure, including customer communication
  • Manage transport damage, total and partial losses, misdeliveries, tracing requests, and transit-time claims
  • File claims with carriers and insurers within deadline and follow up on them consistently
  • Review carrier and insurer decisions against transport law and terms of carriage — and push back with solid reasoning when a rejection doesn't hold up
  • Decide on goodwill settlements within your authority, and align with the team and Sales on strategic cases
  • Communicate settlements, partial settlements, and rejections clearly to customers
  • Escalate legal matters (payment orders, lawsuits) to insurers and leadership on time
  • Help shape and improve our AI-supported claims processes, macros, and quality standards

What You Need to Succeed

  • A completed commercial apprenticeship or comparable qualification
  • At least two years' experience in claims, damage handling, insurance, customer service, or logistics processes
  • A working knowledge of relevant transport law (filing deadlines, liability, evidence requirements, packaging guidelines)
  • A good sense for assessing carrier decisions and insurer responses on a case-by-case basis
  • An analytical, structured, and self-directed way of working, with a sharp eye for deadlines
  • Commercial judgment and a healthy balance between service mindset and protecting the company's interests
  • Confidence working with Zendesk and carrier systems
  • Fluent German and solid English — French, Italian, or Dutch are a plus
  • An appetite for bringing AI and automation into claims work

Experience in freight forwarding or logistics is a plus, but not a must.

What we offer

  • A role with real ownership and room to shape things in a growing LogTech scaleup
  • A fixed salary based on our transparent Claim Level model
  • Flexible hybrid work, full- or part-time
  • A collaborative team and modern, AI-supported claims processes
