The world has changed. Why hasn’t insurance?

Kin’s mission is to reimagine home insurance For Every New Normal. While other insurers struggle to handle a fast-changing world, Kin is built for the future and is prepared to meet its challenges head on while helping our customers do the same.

Leading the initiative in sourcing and onboarding new vendor and affiliate partnerships to grow inbound leads, ensuring optimal utilization of our experimental budget and smooth collaboration with our internal teams.

You will also drive our lead monetization strategy forward, optimizing and directing leads that don’t fit Kin’s criteria to various aggregator partners to inject them back into the marketplace.

  • Exploring and testing new media buys and placements in the affiliate space.
  • Driving declined lead monetization strategies, channeling leads to appropriate aggregator partners.
  • Evaluating the financial opportunities of lead monetization and strategizing accordingly.

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

  • Technical proficiency to troubleshoot and resolve integration hiccups.
  • Experience with tools like EverFlow, PX, Boberdoo or others for affiliate and lead buying programs.
  • Expertise in lead monetization strategies and understanding of its financial implications.
  • Ability to forge and maintain strong relationships with various aggregators and affiliate partners.
  • Able to test and evaluate new affiliate placements, media buys, and partnerships.
