Company mission
To reimagine home insurance for every new normal.
Role
Who you are
- Bachelor's degree
- 1–3 years of professional experience in a role with recurring hard deadlines and external-facing obligations — reporting, filings, client deliverables, vendor or partner coordination
- A track record of accurate work in a context where mistakes carry consequences — filings, financial records, contracts, regulated reporting, or similar
- Experience picking up unfamiliar rules, systems, or procedures quickly and getting them right, asking questions early rather than guessing
- Experience taking over work from someone else and running it without needing it re-explained
- Written and verbal communication that stands on its own with external parties like regulators, auditors, lenders, and vendors, without leadership rewriting it first
- Interest in growing into program or project management — this role is built as a path into PMO or adjacent work at Kin Financing, not a stationary compliance position
What the job involves
- We're looking for an Operations & Compliance Analyst to take ownership of the compliance and operational work that keeps Kin Financing running
- Kin Financing is our home lending program — mortgage and home equity products offered to the homeowners who already trust us with their insurance
- The licensing, reporting, audit, and vendor review processes are established and working, but today they sit with our GM alongside everything else it takes to grow a new lending business
- This role exists so that work has a full-time owner, and so our GM can put that time back into growth
- No mortgage, financial services, or legal background is required
- Your first months are about learning the work properly — how our filings are built, which deadlines matter and why, who to go to inside Kin and out
- From there you take it over and run it cleanly, and once you know it well enough to see what could run better, you're the person who says so
- Kin Financing is early-stage and growing fast, so as new products, states, and partners come online, this seat grows with the business — toward program and project management for people who want that path
- Own ongoing reporting obligations to licensing bodies, investors, warehouse lenders, and service providers, and manage the renewal calendar for all Kin Financing lending licenses
- Run the application process for new state licenses, warehouse lenders, investors, and service providers from first filing through approval
- Maintain Kin Financing's policies and procedures so they stay an accurate record of how the business actually operates
- Coordinate audits end to end and own post-audit remediation through closure
- Drive the review and approval process for Kin Financing vendor contracts in partnership with Kin's Legal, Finance, and Information Security teams
- Document the processes you inherit, then refine them — once you know the work well enough to see where it could run better, bring us the changes
- Use AI tools to work faster and with better coverage — researching regulatory requirements, drafting first-pass policy and process documentation, and reducing the manual load of recurring reporting
- 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
- Licensing, reporting, audit, and vendor coordination have fully transferred to you, and the GM of Kin Financing is spending that reclaimed time on growing the business
- Every reporting deadline, license renewal, and new application has moved on schedule and without errors since you took it over
- Kin Financing leadership, Kin's Legal, Finance, and Information Security teams, and our external partners come to you directly on this work rather than routing through the GM
- You've put forward concrete improvements to how the work runs — the kind that only become visible once you've done the work yourself
Application process
- Deadline: November 10, 2026
- We believe a great hiring experience should be clear, respectful, and human
- We will accept applications for this position until November 10th, 2026
- 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
Our take
The setup process for home insurance can be difficult and time-consuming, particularly for complex and risky properties. Legacy insurance providers rely on users and brokers to insert uniform data, an approach that is not very accurate considering the idiosyncrasies of each individual property.
Kin Insurance works directly with consumers to provide bespoke and affordable home insurance. The company's software imports thousands of variables based on third-party data in order to provide a more personalized approach to home insurance. Data is also collected from aerial and satellite imagery, government records, and building permits to ensure a house is covered from localized threats such as wildfire, hurricanes and other natural disasters.
Recognizing the antiquated and one-size-fits-all nature of the current home insurance landscape, Kin Insurance has taken an innovative approach by focusing on data collection. Through these means, the company claims that it can offer personalized insurance that can be negotiated directly through its communication channels, ensuring that consumers can access the exact insurance they need without having to pay more than is required. Strong funding, raised across several rounds, will allow Kin to expand its network and business reach.
