Technical Underwriting Manager

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.

Having written over $877m in gross written premium in 2023, we’ve achieved significant growth since our beginnings in 2021. Our investors were excited about the fact we were revolutionising the way a 333 year-old industry was working. There are hardly any industries left that are mainly paper based, but the specialty insurance market is one. Together with partners at Google and UCL we developed Ki and created a platform that helps insurance brokers place risk in a fast and frictionless way. We’re continuing to lead the charge on the digitisation of this market and we need more excellent minds to work with us to realise this goal and create more opportunities.

What you will be working on

The role involves working closely with the Operations and Underwriting team across all Ki's classes of business to ensure we implement best practices in our processes and procedures.

You'll use your market knowledge and experience to offer guidance and technical training to our team of Underwriting Assistants, improving their skills and understanding of the business we write.

This role is pivotal in Ki's Data Quality Framework, which spans many functional areas. You'll work closely with Data Scientists, Engineers, and our development team to help design, build, and implement new tools and reporting. This is crucial to ensure the highest possible data standards for our business.


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.
