Job Details: Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)

Vacancy Name: Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)

Employment Type: Permanent

Location: London

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. Having written over $877m in gross written premium in 2023, we've achieved significant growth since our beginnings in 2021. Our investors were excited about the fact we were revolutionising the way a 333 year-old industry was working. There are hardly any industries left that are mainly paper based, but the specialty insurance market is one. Together with partners at Google and UCL we developed Ki and created a platform that helps insurance brokers place risk in a fast and frictionless way. We're continuing to lead the charge on the digitisation of this market and we need more excellent minds to work with us to realise this goal and create more opportunities.

What you will be working on:
We are currently looking to add a Chief Information Security Officer to our team, holding leadership and operational management of Cybersecurity at Ki including technical security, governance and risk. Acting as a member of Ki's Technology Leadership Team, alongside our Tech Services Director, CTO, Director of Product and Director of Algo Underwriting, you will execute strategic initiatives and ensure alignment of cross-functional teams to Ki's cybersecurity strategy.
You will primarily focus on defining and implementing a scalable and cost-effective Cybersecurity vision, strategy and landscape that will enable Ki to meet its business objectives, deliver tangible value and ensure a robust security infrastructure and governance framework is in place in the light of emerging threats and compliance with regulatory requirements. This role will also be focused on identifying cybersecurity partners and business development opportunities to generate improved service for clients or additional growth opportunities for Ki, including collaborating with the underwriting team at Ki to develop an increasingly refined view of Cyber risk.

Minimum Requirements:
If you have proven experience in a senior cybersecurity, IT or Technology leadership role within financial services, insurance or a growth stage technology business we'd love to hear from you. If you are keen to work with our wider leadership team to develop and execute a best in class cybersecurity strategy, for an innovative, growth-stage Insurtech this could be the role for you.

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 bring 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.
