Risk Director

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.

Ki’s Risk Director will lead Ki’s risk function, comprising the Risk Aggregation, Catastrophe Modelling, Capital Modelling and ERM teams, and will drive engagement on all risk topics with key stakeholders including colleagues from Ki, the Brit Group, regulators, shareholders and other external parties.

The role holder will enable Ki to have a robust understanding of its risk drivers to inform timely decision-making, will be accountable for the risk management systems, controls and the risk framework, and will embed an enterprise-wide approach to risk management to meet the expectations of the EMC, the Brit Group, shareholders and regulators.
