As a leader, you’ll partner closely with executives and external stakeholders to ensure pricing decisions are aligned with Kin’s long-term strategy, regulatory expectations, and market realities.

Your responsibilities

- Own end-to-end P&L for an assigned region, driving rate strategy, loss ratio targets, and expense management to deliver sustainable profitability

- Lead the development and continuous refinement of pricing strategies and risk frameworks, translating data into actionable decisions that improve competitive positioning

- Leverage AI and machine learning tools to enhance pricing accuracy, identify emerging risk patterns, and accelerate analytical workflows across the team

- Present pricing and risk insights to executive leadership and regulatory bodies, clearly articulating complex trade-offs and strategic recommendations

- Set clear goals and performance standards across teams, holding stakeholders accountable for consistent, high-quality execution

- Build and maintain enterprise-level dashboards and risk KPIs that provide real-time visibility into regional and portfolio performance

- Own regulatory modeling and compliance strategy, proactively navigating evolving requirements to minimize risk and maintain market access

- Foster a culture of intellectual curiosity, continuous improvement, and data-driven decision making at every level of the team

- Lead cross-functional problem solving on complex, high-stakes challenges — bringing together pricing, actuarial, product, and operations to drive aligned outcomes

What success looks like

- The pricing and risk function has a clear, actionable roadmap aligned to company strategy

- Pricing strategies and risk frameworks support sustainable growth and strong portfolio performance

- Executives rely on pricing and risk insights to make high-impact business decisions

- Regulatory interactions are effective, credible, and well-supported by data

- Teams are aligned, accountable, and consistently delivering against goals

- Innovation and continuous improvement are embedded in how the department operates

Your experience & skills

- 7+ years of pricing, risk, actuarial, or advanced analytics experience, with at least 3 years in a role with direct P&L or regional business ownership

- Proven track record leading a pricing, risk, or analytics function with full accountability for strategy, outcomes, and team performance

- Experience managing regional or state-level budgets, headcount planning, and resource allocation to hit financial targets

- Deep expertise in building and interpreting executive dashboards, risk KPIs, and performance reporting that drive real business decisions

- Hands-on experience applying AI and machine learning tools to pricing, underwriting, or risk workflows — and a track record of translating those capabilities into measurable results

- Strong command of regulatory modeling and compliance requirements, with the ability to navigate complex regulatory environments across multiple states

- Demonstrated ability to influence executive leadership and external stakeholders with clarity, confidence, and well-structured analytical narratives

- Track record of driving innovation and continuous improvement in high-stakes, fast-moving environments

- High integrity, sharp judgment, and a collaborative leadership style that brings out the best in cross-functional teams
