Head of Product, Digital Risk

Job Description

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. Together with partners at Google and UCL we developed Ki, a platform that helps insurance brokers cover risks in a fast and frictionless way. With over $400m of gross written premium in 2021, we have continued to rapidly scale, growing to $834m in 2022. 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.

We are looking for an experienced Head of Product, Digital Risk to lead Ki’s squads that focus on developing our pioneering algorithmic underwriting capabilities. You will work closely with a cross-functional team, including data scientists and algorithm engineers, to shape our future direction for the technology and capabilities that assess risk and manage our portfolios – both of which are critical to Ki’s long-term success.

Product discovery and business impact

- Being an evangelist for the squads working on our future risk decisioning capabilities, ensuring the broader business understands how the squads impact business performance
- Leading the product discovery process, ensuring squads have a deep understanding of impactful problems to solve and can articulate trade-offs
- Ensuring that squads get a balance between providing capabilities that can drive near-term business impact and longer-term strategic initiatives
