About the role
What you're applying for
We're looking for an experienced SIU Investigator, Auto Claims to help protect honest policyholders and keep sophisticated fraud networks from gaming the system — while making sure legitimate claims move fast. You'll join our Claims team at a pivotal moment, bringing specialized investigative expertise to high-risk files as we expand into key markets like Florida and keep pushing the boundaries of what modern fraud detection looks like.
We believe three things matter for every role at Lemonade: drive to push through challenges, efficiency that keeps standards high while moving fast, and adaptability that lets you pivot with data and AI insights. These aren't buzzwords, they're how we actually work.
Our AI-first approach isn't just a tagline either. We're building the future of insurance with AI at the center, and we need people who are genuinely excited to learn and grow alongside these tools.
In this role you'll
- Lead end-to-end SIU investigations on complex auto claims — Physical Damage, Bodily Injury, and PIP/Medical Payments — with full ownership from referral to resolution
- Identify and dismantle multi-claim fraud networks, staged accident rings, and coordinated medical billing schemes using link analysis and pattern-recognition techniques
- Apply deep working knowledge of Florida PIP statutes, medical fee schedules, and the 14-day treatment rule to counter state-specific fraud trends
- Partner directly with our Data Science and Product teams to test and refine predictive fraud models, feeding real-world case intelligence back into automated detection
- Investigate emerging digital fraud risks — AI-manipulated damage photos, synthetic media, and altered records — using the latest AI tools and digital research platforms
- Support EUOs, state fraud bureau referrals, and case strategy alongside claims adjusters and legal counsel
What you'll need
- 5+ years of dedicated SIU or auto claims investigative experience, with a track record on complex, high-stakes cases
- Deep Florida PIP and BI expertise — statutes, treatment windows, billing mill fraud, and EUO dynamics
- Hands-on experience with intelligence platforms like ISO ClaimSearch, Accurint, TLOxp, or LexisNexis
- Proven ability to investigate large-scale, multi-jurisdictional organized fraud rings and billing syndicates
- Genuine curiosity about AI — both as an investigative asset and as a fraud threat vector you'll need to stay ahead of
- A college degree, preferably in criminal justice, insurance, or a related field
- Ability to work in a remote environment
