Senior Accountant - Underwriting

Employment type:  Full time

Job Description

We are looking for a Senior Accountant, Underwriting

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

As a Senior Accountant in our Financial Operations Team, you'll play a key role in producing and analysing underwriting information and management reporting to support the growth of our business. You'll work closely with the Head of Financial Operations and collaborate with other departments to provide accurate and insightful information at both the entity and group level. This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to take their career to the next level and develop their technical, systems, and managerial skills. With a solid understanding of our processes and applications, you'll have the opportunity to grow into a leadership role and make a real impact on our business.

About you

You’ll be a qualified accountant with insurance accounting experience, ideally within P&L and you’ll have the opportunity to demonstrate your strong knowledge of accounting concepts surrounding insurance, including UK GAAP and SII. You’ll have previously managed people / a team as well as having the ability to consistently deliver high quality results on time and within budget.

Our culture

This opportunity comes along with a competitive salary, 27 days annual leave, optional private medical insurance, on target bonus and strong employer’s contributory pension, plus many more benefits. We also operate in a hybrid working capacity meaning you can collaborate in the London office as well as enjoy the ability to work from home.

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. If this sounds like a role and a culture that appeals to you, let us know.
