Kin Insurance is on a mission to change home insurance from what it could be to what it should be. We're proud to offer affordable insurance coverage in areas most impacted by climate change, like Florida, California and Louisiana, that pay more for insurance than anywhere else in America.

We are also proud to be recognized as Built In's 2021 Best Midsize Companies to Work For in Chicago and Forbes 2021 Best Startup Employers in America. We are growing super fast, and we need forward-thinking, inspired game-changers like you to help lead the way.

So, what's the role?

You're the first line of defense for our customers: you'll handle questions regarding policies, payments, cancellations and other topics, as needed. You'll interact with customers mainly over the phone but via chat and email too. It's important you're knowledgeable in the property insurance space, so we'll help you obtain your P&C license. 

When time permits, we'd love your help in updating forms, policies, procedures, and training materials. Our business is constantly growing and it's important we make changes in real time.

A day in the life could include: 

  • Interacting with current policyholders via phone, email, and chat
  • Contacting customers banks/mortgage to obtain additional details
  • Creating/updating policies for customers to review
  • Submitting payments/issuing refunds
  • Asking for additional documentation

I've got the skills… but do I have the necessary ones?

  • Superior customer service skills
  • Empathy towards others
  • Ability to work in a fast paced environment with limited structure
  • Proficient in Google suite or similar tools and ideally comfortable navigating multiple tools and windows at the same time
  • A need for efficiency, always looking for ways to make processes better

Bonus Points:

  • Bilingual Spanish speaker a plus, but not required
  • Experience in a call center/high incoming call volume environment at plus, but not required 

Oh, and don't worry, we've got you covered! 

  • Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance (including 100% employer-paid plans)
  • Remote Work (due to Covid-19) 
  • 16 days PTO, 2 Floating Holidays & Federal Holidays (Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, etc.)
  • Very generous equity options and 401K
  • Parental Leave
  • Continuing education and professional development 
  • Disability and Life Insurance 
  • Onsite gym membership - when we return to the office (Chicago office only) 
  • The excitement of joining a high-growth Insurtech company and seeing your work make an impact

About Kin:

In an industry that hasn't budged in more than 100 years, our technology transforms the user experience, cuts inefficiencies that waste billions of consumer dollars, and customizes coverage homeowners want. We believe insurance was always meant to be a digital product – we're making that a reality. 

Our approach to the industry makes us unique, and the people at Kin help us excel. We're a team of problem solvers, collaborators, builders, and dreamers who are passionate about creating positive change in the lives of our customers and in our industry. Kin is more than just our name – it's how we treat each other. That's one of the many reasons we've been recognized as a great place to work by Built In, Forbes, and Fast Company.
