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. It is 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 you will be working on

We are seeking an Agile Delivery Manager to oversee the delivery of technology solutions for mid and back-office teams within Ki. You’ll be the leader of a squad aligned to one or more mid/back-office functions (think People team, Finance, Risk, Underwriting Operations). You will be responsible for working with the Business Transformation Managers who are evolving the capability to translate business needs into actionable work packages and manage delivery with cross-functional squads and 3rd parties.

This role ensures all systems under your ownership meet best practices, audit requirements, and operational needs, while managing a complex mix of Ki to match our cloud-based and SaaS applications. Your passion should match ours to change the market through common sense, automation and a respect for what the market needs from the systems.

You will help our team’s co-ordinate around challenging deadlines and releases, collaborating with different stakeholders from across our organisation. You’ll need to be comfortable spinning plates and dealing with complex problems but also have a coaching mindset, helping our squads to help themselves and improve how we get stuff done.

If this sounds like the role for you, apply today!

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.
