Job Description

Who are we?
Look at the latest headlines and you will see something Ki insures. Think space shuttles, world tours, wind farms, and even footballers’ legs.

Ki’s mission is simple. Digitally disrupt and revolutionise a 335-year-old market. Working with Google and UCL, Ki has created a platform that uses algorithms, machine learning and large language models to give insurance brokers quotes in seconds, rather than days.

Ki is proudly the biggest global algorithmic insurance carrier. It is the fastest growing syndicate in the Lloyd's of London market, and the first ever to make $100m in profit in 3 years.

Ki’s teams have varied backgrounds and work together in an agile, cross-functional way to build the very best experience for its customers. Ki has big ambitions but needs more excellent minds to challenge the status-quo and help it reach new horizons.

What you will be working on
You’ll join us as a Lead Algorithmic Pricing Actuary within our Algorithmic Underwriting team, which sits at the intersection of underwriting and algorithm development, ensuring that the development, calibration and monitoring of our risk assessment models meets commercial and regulatory requirements, whilst effectively serving our end users at the point of quote (brokers).

In this role you’ll bring your experience of working within specialty insurance and working with product & tech teams on strategic direction of pricing and ensuring best practice within pricing governance.

Our squads focus on delivering high-impact features and we favour a highly iterative, analytical approach. We invest time in research and development, internally and with academic institutions and if you are looking for an opportunity where you can be curious and bring fresh ideas to the table, then 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.
