Sales Manager
Kin is redesigning insurance to be smarter, faster, and centered on the customer. We use intelligent pricing, offer seamless bundling, and make every step (from purchasing, servicing to claims) simple and friction-free, especially in the places traditional insurers often ignore.
We empower people to protect what matters most, starting with their homes and expanding to all they value, in a world where climate risks, rising costs, and outdated systems leave too many behind. Our approach has fostered amazing growth, attracted marquee investors, and earned us accolades, including being named to:
Built In Chicago's Best Places to Work, Midsize Companies (2021-2025).
Forbes' America's Best Startup Employers (2021- 2024, Ranked #37 in 2024).
Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies.
Forbes’ Fintech 50.
