Head of Data, Ki

Job Description

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 fundraise that delivered $500m of investment, making us one 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 rapidly scaled: In our first year we wrote over $400m of premium and in 2022 we doubled that to $834m. We have developed Ki over the course of the past 2 years 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 curious 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

The Head of Data will own and lead on Ki’s ongoing data strategy that sets out the vision, principles, and direction connecting all aspects of data processing to the overall corporate vision and long-term goals.

You’ll be accountable for development and execution of Ki’s Data Quality Framework, operational processes around managing data quality related matters, adoption across teams and technologies, and identifying and monitoring key indicators of quality levels.
