The Senior Premium Auditor is a key partner within the company, specializing in complex Workers' Compensation audits and performing test state audits (CA, FL, OR, AK). This role requires advanced technical expertise, strategic thinking, and the ability to mentor team members while optimizing audit quality and operational processes. Senior Premium Auditors embody NEXT’s value of playing as a team while driving operational excellence.
What You’ll Do:
- Execute high-value, multi-state Workers' Compensation audits, including test state audits (CA, FL, OR, AK). This involves applying a deep understanding of diverse state-specific regulations and exhibiting a high level of expertise and autonomy in handling complex and high-stakes situations.
- Manage and resolve complex or unique audit disputes. This requires a refined skill set in problem-solving, as Senior Premium Auditors are expected to act as subject-matter experts in dispute resolution, dealing with more challenging cases that require a nuanced understanding of policy, law, and client interactions.
- Oversee the review and reconciliation of audits, particularly in complex jurisdictions like California (WCIRB). This role demands a strategic approach to ensure alignment with state regulations and requires the auditor to exercise considerable discretion in how audits are conducted and reviewed to meet regulatory compliance.
- Develop training sessions and identify process improvements. This responsibility requires independent judgment in assessing the effectiveness of current audit processes and devising and implementing enhancements that will benefit the audit team and the company at large.
- Provide support and guidance to Premium Audit team members. This aspect of the job requires discretion in handling interpersonal relations and the ability to impart knowledge in a way that is accessible and empowering to others.
What We Need:
- 5+ years in premium auditing, with significant experience in WC and multi-state audits.
- Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Accounting, or Insurance-related field preferred, or commensurate experience.
- Certification with WCIRB, PAAS TAP, or APA strongly preferred.
- Advanced knowledge of WC guidelines (NCCI/WCIRB).
- Advanced knowledge of industry audit systems NEXUS, AUSUM, Insurity, or PATS
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite
- Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
