Description
The Loss Insights Analytics team sits within US Retail Markets Property Claims organization and is at the center of some of the most consequential decisions in our claims organization. We quantify the financial impact of changes across the full lifecycle of a claim — from first notice of loss through final resolution — including the adoption of new tools, vendors, and process innovations. We are a team of rigorous, intellectually driven analysts who believe that the right question, asked at the right time, is just as powerful as the right answer. If you are energized by complex problems, motivated by meaningful work, and want your analysis to directly shape how one of the world's largest insurers handles billions of dollars in property claims, this is your team.
This role may have in-office requirements depending on candidate location
Candidates who live within 50 miles of Boston, MA; Portsmouth, NH; Seattle, WA; Columbus, OH; or Plano, TX will follow a hybrid schedule, coming into the office two days per week. Otherwise, this role is remote.
About the Role:
We are hiring a Senior Analyst to join the Loss Insights team. In this role, you will design and execute high-complexity analyses that drive tangible improvements to claims handling processes and financial outcomes. You will serve as a trusted analytical voice to senior stakeholders, translating nuanced data findings into clear, compelling recommendations. This is not just a reporting role — it is a thinking role. You will be expected to challenge assumptions, identify the stories hidden in data, and advocate for evidence-based decisions.
What You Will Do:
- Drive Financial Insight: Design and conduct moderate-to-high complexity analyses evaluating the financial performance of claims operations, process changes, and newly adopted tools or vendor partnerships across the full claim lifecycle.
- Measure What Matters: Build and maintain reporting frameworks that track initiative success, financial performance, and key operational metrics — ensuring stakeholders always have a clear, accurate picture of business outcomes.
- Lead Analytical Projects: Own moderately complex, end-to-end analytical projects independently, partnering with Claims Process, Data Office, Product, and other key partners to develop rigorous solutions and see initiatives through to measurable impact.
- Turn Data into Action: Synthesize complex, multi-source data into concise, actionable recommendations and present findings confidently to stakeholders at all levels, including senior leadership.
- Shape the Future of Claims: Contribute to a team culture of intellectual curiosity and continuous improvement, proactively identifying new analytical opportunities that enhance customer outcomes and operational efficiency.
What We're Looking For:
- You are intellectually curious. You don't just answer the question asked — you interrogate it. You are energized by ambiguity, drawn to complex problems, and always looking for the insight beneath the surface.
- You are analytically rigorous. You have hands-on experience gathering, interpreting, and synthesizing data across multiple sources. You are proficient in one or more of the following: SAS, SQL, Python, or R — and you know how to use these tools not just to pull data, but to build compelling analytical narratives.
- You think critically and communicate clearly. You can translate a sophisticated analysis into a story that resonates with a non-technical audience. You are comfortable presenting to stakeholders and defending your methodology under scrutiny.
- You are a proactive, organized self-starter. You manage your own workload with discipline, follow through without being prompted, and thrive in an environment where you are trusted to work independently.
- You are a collaborative team player. You bring energy and engagement to the team, invest in the success of your colleagues, and build strong relationships across partner teams.
Qualifications
Bachelor's Degree plus a minimum 3 years, typically 4 or more years of experience, or equivalent, is required. Mathematics, Economics, Statistics or other quantitative field are preferred fields of study.
- Advanced knowledge of data sources, tools, statistical principles and methodologies, and techniques.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel (VBA, macros, scripts, formulas, data visualization, etc.), PowerPoint, and statistical software packages (SAS, Snowflake).
- Must have good planning, analytical, decision-making and communication skills.
- Solid understanding of business to improve business outcomes.

Tips for Finding OPT Sponsorship as a Property Claims Specialist
Target regional and national carriers first
Large insurance carriers like Allstate, Travelers, and State Farm have structured sponsorship programs and dedicated immigration teams. They process far more H-1B visa petitions annually than smaller independent adjusting firms, making them more reliable sponsorship bets for OPT students.
Clarify your OPT timeline upfront
Be transparent that you have 12 months of OPT remaining, or up to 36 months with a STEM extension if your degree qualifies. Employers need this context to assess whether there is enough runway to file an H-1B petition before your authorization expires.
Frame your degree as a specialty occupation match
Property claims roles require analytical judgment that USCIS recognizes as qualifying specialty work when tied to a relevant degree. Emphasize your finance, business, or engineering background to help employers see the H-1B connection clearly before they consult immigration counsel.
Ask about H-1B sponsorship before accepting an offer
Do not wait until onboarding to raise visa sponsorship. Ask during the offer stage whether the company has sponsored H-1B petitions before and whether they work with immigration attorneys. An employer without that infrastructure is a serious risk for your long-term status.
Pursue insurance certifications during OPT
Credentials like the Associate in Claims designation strengthen your specialty occupation case and signal commitment to the field. Employers are more likely to invest in sponsorship for candidates who demonstrate professional development intent beyond just satisfying immediate hiring needs.
Use Migrate Mate to filter for OPT-friendly roles
Migrate Mate surfaces Property Claims Specialist jobs from employers with documented sponsorship history. Filtering by sponsorship track record saves time and helps you prioritize outreach to companies already familiar with F-1 OPT work authorization and H-1B filing timelines.
Property Claims Specialist OPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Can F-1 OPT students work as Property Claims Specialists legally?
Yes. Property Claims Specialist roles fall within the scope of insurance, finance, and risk management, which are recognized specialty occupation fields. As long as your OPT work authorization is active and the job aligns with your degree field, you can work in this role without any additional USCIS approval beyond your EAD card.
Does a Property Claims Specialist role qualify for an H-1B visa after OPT?
Generally yes, when the role requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field such as finance, business administration, or risk management. USCIS evaluates this case by case, and the strength of the petition depends on how clearly the employer documents the degree requirement. Working with an experienced immigration attorney improves the outcome significantly.
Am I eligible for a 24-month STEM OPT extension in a claims role?
It depends on your undergraduate degree, not the job title. If your degree is in a qualifying STEM field such as statistics, actuarial science, or information systems, and your employer is enrolled in E-Verify, you can apply for the 24-month extension. Many insurance employers do meet the E-Verify requirement, but confirm this with your employer before applying.
How do I find Property Claims Specialist employers who sponsor visas?
Migrate Mate is the most efficient way to find Property Claims Specialist roles from employers with OPT and H-1B sponsorship history. Rather than cold-applying broadly, you can focus on employers who have already navigated F-1 work authorization before, which dramatically increases your chances of reaching the offer and sponsorship stage.
What happens to my OPT authorization if my claims role ends before I find a new employer?
F-1 OPT students are allowed up to 90 days of unemployment during the standard OPT period, and up to 150 days during the STEM extension. If your role ends, you need to report the job change to your DSO promptly and update your SEVIS record. Exceeding the unemployment cap puts your F-1 status at risk, so prioritize finding a replacement role quickly.
