Underwriting Analyst - Casualty Treaty

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.

Purpose of the Role

You will play an integral part in our Portfolio Underwriting team, to support with pricing and class level analysis providing an analytical review of the Casualty Treaty class and division. You will work to produce statistics, reports and MI working directly with brokers on new and renewal business and assisting Underwriters in the evaluation of risk in accordance with Ki’s Business Plan.

On a daily basis you will deliver technical pricing for insurance policies and reinsurance treaties, referring to underwriting and actuarial colleagues as required. You’ll leverage traditional actuarial as well as machine learning approaches to support Ki’s model, including carrying out risk level pricing involving data input into models and ownership of model output for your class. You’ll support in the design and delivery of pricing model monitoring, including reporting core pricing metrics such as price loss ration and risk adjusted rate charge. You’ll be expected to liaise with and maintain relationships with key brokers as well as working cross functionally with underwriting and actuarial team members.

If you have a track record of success in supporting underwriting teams in providing technical pricing data, we’d love to hear from you. Both an understanding of actuarial concepts and class knowledge of Casualty Treaty are desirable, but not essential.

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.

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