Role Details

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, 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’s the role?

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Product Manager to join our Capabilities pillar. The squads in this pillar are focused on building capabilities that allow Ki and our capacity partners to manage their portfolio of risks. A key part of these squads’ remits is creating and improving digital underwriting tools for portfolio visibility and risk appetite management.

Principal Accountabilities:

1. Articulate longer term product direction: Set out the strategic and technical direction for our underwriting tool, to meet the needs of insurer partners, working alongside business development and others in technology.
2. Effective product discovery: Employ your strong product skillset to identify the best problems to solve, leading insight gathering with key external partners, and chart a path to delivery in tandem with user research, engineering, and other stakeholders.
3. Prioritise squad focus areas: With a bias for data-informed reasoning, strike a balance between foundational work to deliver near term value and longer term priorities that take us closer to our target state – and ensure that the process has been collaborative and clear to others.
4. Support product delivery: Encourage effective delivery by validating key assumptions through iterative research and development and supporting the squad to make appropriate trade-offs on scope, impact, and timing.
5. Articulate the commercial value of the roadmap: Leverage deep commercial understanding, both in terms of how Ki operates and the market opportunity we’re seeking to capitalise on, to communicate the value of the work we do.
6. Stakeholder alignment: Drive the discussion with stakeholders across the business on what capabilities will most meaningfully move the business towards both near term and longer term strategic goals and clearly communicate progress towards those goals.
7. Work with the Product Management community: Engage openly with the broader Product organisation to identify opportunities for cross-benefit and mitigate against dependencies where possible.

Required Skills and Experience:

1. You understand how value is generated in an insurance business and are commercially minded.
2. You’ve applied both theory and practical experience to effectively deliver products, building a versatile toolkit adaptable to diverse situations.
3. You have a strong track record of taking products from concept to successful outcomes, with a solid grasp of the mechanics behind it.
4. You’ve faced failure, learned from it, and used it to grow.
5. You’re naturally inquisitive and driven by a desire to learn and explore.
6. You excel in navigating ambiguity and focus sharply on finding solutions to real-world problems.
7. You’re an exceptional communicator with experience engaging senior stakeholders effectively.
8. You’re proactive, pragmatic, and thrive on using your initiative to drive outcomes.
9. Experience and understanding of specialty insurance, and how portfolios of business are managed, is a bonus.
