Role Details

We are looking for a Financial Operations Assistant

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.
