Job Description

Who are we?

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.

Purpose of the Role

As Head of Corporate and Pricing, you will play a fundamental role in the actuarial team, enhancing Ki’s commercial and strategic approach using creative actuarial insight across pricing, planning, partner relationships and strategic commercial projects. As a member of the Actuarial Leadership Team, you will work closely with the Actuarial Director to manage and develop the Corporate and Pricing teams.

Within this role, you will be responsible for managing the deal-level pricing outside of the algorithm, including model development, building and maintenance. This will involve the delivery of a best-in-class pricing model, responsibility for the creation and maintenance of governance and documentation as well as ensuring robust challenge of business plans for each division. You will also be responsible for embedding this insight into the Portfolio Underwriting teams through the provision of excellent MI. In managing the Corporate Actuarial function, you will add challenge and input into business planning, supporting the strategic direction of Ki through deep-dive reviews for each class. You will drive improved performance monitoring via communication of appropriate technical pricing updates, targeted performance presentations, and considering the impact of quarterly reserving results.

This is a highly collaborative role with stakeholders across Underwriting, Algorithmic Pricing, Analytics, Strategy teams and various other functions as required. If you are a creative thinker eager to use innovative techniques, data science and analysis to enhance commercial insight for the business, 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.
