Role Details

Who are we?
Ki is the biggest global insurance tech company you've never heard of, unless you've been looking to insure a satellite, wind farm or music festival recently.

We launched in 2021 on the back of a fund-raise that delivered $500m of investment, making us one of the largest fintech start-ups that year. Our investors were excited about the fact we were revolutionising the way a 333 year-old industry was working. We have written over $400m worth of premium in 2021.

Together with partners at Google and UCL we developed Ki and created a platform that helps insurance brokers cover risks in a fast and frictionless way. We're continuing to lead the charge on the digitisation of this market and that's where you come in - we need more excellent minds to work with us to realise this goal and create more opportunities. If helping us transform a multi-billion global industry sounds exciting to you, read on.

What you will be working on

You'll work closely with the Senior Manager (Exposure Management), Risk Director and members of the Exposure Management and Catastrophe Modelling functions to develop Ki's knowledge of catastrophe risk and the implementation of technology to support Ki's commercial operations.

You'll get to contribute to the development of the Ki view of risk and its implementation in the tools, systems and analytics delivered by the Risk team and integrated into the technology platform.

As well as this, you'll work closely with underwriters to manage underwriting volatility and identify opportunities for profitable growth across the portfolio. Providing relevant subject matter expert input into wider Commercial division projects and deliverables, including through the design and maintenance of appropriate data schema and processes, will be a key part of this role.

Our culture

Inclusion & Diversity is at the heart of our business at Ki. We recognise that diversity in age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical ability, thought and social background brings richness to our working environment. No matter who you are, where you're from, how you think, or who you love, we believe you should be you.

You'll get a highly competitive remuneration and benefits package. This is kept under constant review to make sure it stays relevant. We understand the power of saying thank you and take time to acknowledge and reward extraordinary effort by teams or individuals.

If this sounds like a role and a culture that appeals to you, let us know - apply here.
