Using data, technology, and thoughtful human support, we're building products that are clear, fair, and help homeowners feel confident — so homeowners aren't left behind when they need help most.

To learn more about how we work and what we're building, visit [kin.com](http://kin.com) and see how we work (https://www.linkedin.com/company/kin-insurance/life/kin/). The Opportunity We're looking for a Pricing and Risk Manager to help us build the next generation of insurance products and coverages as well as expand Kin's footprint across states. This role sits at the intersection of pricing strategy and product development — turning market insight and risk analysis into new coverage options, rating features, and pricing enhancements that customers actually feel. This is a hands-on, builder-focused role. You won't be managing a team — you'll be directly shaping the products and features that power Kin's growth, from initial concept through launch in both new and existing states. Your work will directly influence how competitively and confidently Kin can enter new markets and deepen its presence in current ones. ## Your Responsibilities - Design and develop new insurance products, rules, coverages, and enhancements that improve competitiveness and customer value - Lead state expansion efforts by building and launching pricing models for new states, and optimizing existing state models for performance - Own the research and proposal of new products, rules, coverages, and enhancements - Own the end-to-end rollout process, from initial pricing analysis through launch and post-launch monitoring - Leverage AI and machine learning tools to enhance pricing accuracy, uncover emerging risk patterns, and accelerate analytical workflows - Partner cross-functionally with actuarial, product, and compliance teams to ensure new features are technically sound and regulator-ready - Build and maintain dashboards and KPIs that track the performance of newly launched products and pricing features - Translate market and competitive research into concrete product recommendations and pricing adjustments - Identify opportunities for pricing innovation ahead of state expansion, ensuring readiness for regulatory review and market entry Success in This Role In your first 6–12 months at Kin, success is less about checking boxes and more about the impact you create. You'll use your skills and judgment to take ownership of meaningful work, improve how we operate, and help move Kin's mission forward. Along the way, you'll deliver outcomes that make a real difference for both Kinfolk and the homeowners we serve. By the end of your first year, you should feel confident in your role, trusted as an owner, and proud of the progress you've helped make. - New pricing products or features have been successfully launched, showing meaningful impact to growth goals - State expansion pricing models are built, validated, and ready for regulatory submission - AI/ML tools are actively integrated into the pricing development workflow, improving speed or accuracy of analysis - Cross-functional partners trust this person's product recommendations and rely on their analysis to make launch decisions ## What You'll Bring - 5+ years of insurance product development experience - Demonstrated experience building or launching new insurance products, features, or rating enhancements - Experience supporting state expansion efforts, including new-state pricing model development and regulatory readiness - Hands-on experience applying AI and machine learning tools to pricing, underwriting, or risk workflows, with measurable results - Strong understanding of regulatory modeling and compliance requirements across multiple states - Ability to translate market research and competitive analysis into concrete pricing and product recommendations - Comfortable partnering cross-functionally with actuarial, product, and compliance teams without formal authority over those teams - Homeowners insurance experience preferred but not necessary ## How We Hire We believe a great hiring experience should be clear, respectful, and human. We will accept applications for this position until November 23rd. While our recruiting team uses AI tools for efficiency, resumes are still screened by Kin's in-house recruiters, and candidate evaluations and hiring decisions are made by recruiters and hiring teams. Rest assured, real people make real decisions. The hiring process and timeline for each role will vary, depending on the position. However, here are some things you can expect from us: - Prompt updates and feedback following interviews - Interviews with recruiters, hiring managers, and members of teams - Skills assessment relevant to the position, if applicable - Genuine, thoughtful human interaction at every step ## How we work We don’t just hire for skills. We hire for alignment. Kinfolk bring diverse perspectives, but we’re united by a shared set of values that shape how we work and how we show up for each other and our customers. Run through walls, together - Every one of us is responsible for creating the culture we want to work in. High performance. Low drama. Always respectful. We assume the best in each other and challenge ideas, not intentions. We show up, work hard, and play to each other's strengths — because that’s how great teams win. Raise the bar. Drop the ego - Attitudes are contagious. Every one of us is responsible for creating the culture we want to work in. High performance. Low drama. Always respectful. Like professional sports teams, we win by working in sync. We show up, work hard, and play to each other’s strengths. Act like an owner - We are owners, fully accountable for achieving Kin’s mission. That requires positive, proactive, big-picture thinking well beyond our job descriptions. Ask questions, Take ownership. Do the right thing, even when it‘s hard. Because when Kin thrives, so do you. And so do our customers. Operate lean. Deliver more - We build efficiency into everything we do. Each dollar we save gets reinvested to deliver more to our customers: better pricing, more products, and new innovations. We work smarter by relentlessly prioritizing and using technology, including AI, to multiply our impact. Lean is about focus, not deprivation. Lean isn't a limitation — it's our competitive advantage. Keep asking ‘What if?’ - We value curiosity. To make insurance better for our customers, we experiment. We embrace insights. And we base decisions on data rather than assumptions. We see setbacks as opportunities for growth and are always learning and improving. Both individually and as a company.
