THE OPPORTUNITY

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.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• 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

SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE

In your first 6–12 months at Ki
