The opportunity

We’re looking for a Senior Pricing and Risk Analyst to help advance Kin’s pricing sophistication and risk segmentation as the business scales. This role is designed for someone whose core analytical responsibilities have become second nature—and who is ready to form opinions, share ideas, and influence how pricing decisions are made.

You’ll develop and maintain pricing models, analyze profitability and risk drivers, and partner closely with underwriting and product teams on rate filings and model enhancements. This role will place increased emphasis on competitive intelligence, market research, and the use of AI-enabled tools to enhance data analysis and decision-making.

Your responsibilities

• Develop and maintain pricing and risk models with limited supervision, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and scalability

• Analyze product profitability, loss trends, competitive positioning, and risk segmentation to inform pricing decisions

• Conduct competitive intelligence analysis, including familiarity with tools such as InsureQuote and market benchmarking sources

• Partner with underwriting and product teams on rate filings, state-specific pricing strategies, and ongoing model refinement
  Support state product research efforts, with a focus on Texas and other growth markets

• Analyze and model catastrophic perils (e.g., wind, hail) and their impact on pricing, segmentation, and portfolio risk

• Leverage AI tools and advanced analytics techniques to improve efficiency, deepen insights, and accelerate analysis

• Explore new data sources and evaluate multiple inputs to strengthen analytical conclusions

• Identify risks, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities within pricing workflows

• Develop templates, share best practices, and mentor junior analysts through collaboration and review

Success in this role

• Pricing models and analyses are reliable, well-documented, and trusted by stakeholders

• Competitive intelligence and market insights meaningfully influence pricing and product strategy

• State-level research and catastrophe risk analysis improve decision-making in key markets like Texas

• AI-enabled analysis drives faster, higher-quality insights without sacrificing rigor

• Cross-functional partners proactively seek your input and perspective

• Junior analysts benefit from your mentorship, templates, and knowledge sharing

• Process improvements lead to more efficient, scalable analytical workflows

What you’ll bring

• 3+ years of pricing, risk, actuarial, or advanced analytics experience in insurance or a related field

• Experience developing and maintaining pricing or risk models in a production environment

• Strong understanding of predictive modeling techniques, including GLMs and pricing segmentation

• Experience with competitive analysis, market research tools, or platforms such as InsureQuote

• Working knowledge of catastrophe risk concepts, including wind and hail exposure

• Proficiency in Python or R and SQL (including complex joins)

• Comfort using AI or advanced analytical tools to enhance data analysis and efficiency

• Ability to synthesize insights from multiple data sources to support pricing decisions

• Clear, proactive communication of assumptions, risks, and recommendations

• Comfort receiving feedback, maintaining high quality standards, and continuously improving how work is done

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 - Our industry is stuck in the status quo. But Kin is different. We are challengers. Innovators unwavering in our mission to fix insurance for those who need it most. We are changing insurance for good. We roll up our sleeves, take action, and get “impossible” things done every day with grit and teamwork.

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.
