About us   kWh Analytics offers Insurance for our Climate by leveraging the most comprehensive performance database of solar assets in the United States (30% of the U.S. asset class) and the strength of the global insurance markets. Through our products, kWh Analytics’ customers are able to minimize risk and increase equity returns of their renewable energy portfolios.   kWh Analytics invented the Solar Revenue Put, an insurance product to help solar investors reduce their biggest cost: the cost of capital. The credit enhancement has been valued by the leading project finance banks and implemented by top investors on over $3B+ of solar projects.   Who we are looking for   We are looking for a mission-driven Director of Risk to manage our carrier relationships, communication of risk in the context of new deals or products, and developing our risk capital strategy for the Solar Revenue Put and other specialty products.  You’ll be a trusted partner to the leadership team, and lead the specialty products program management function. Managing our insurance carrier partner relationships and ensuring we deliver best-in-class services is critical to the growth of the platform.    During onboarding, you’ll develop a deep understanding of our products and customers. kWh Analytics sits at the intersection of insurance, renewable energy, finance, and technology, so ideally you are either familiar with or eager to learn about these sectors. With the guidance of the senior leadership, you’ll develop a cohesive plan, setting and measuring goals to have maximum impact.   kWh Analytics is a fast-growing company and our Director of Risk will be instrumental in building systems to keep things running smoothly as we scale. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is comfortable with organizational change and can inspire the team throughout this growth phase and beyond.

  • Working closely with analytics and data science teams on harnessing data to make informed decisions and translating our data science-driven underwriting approach into insights that help insurers get comfortable with our overall risk approach 
  • Managing existing MGA relationships and negotiating MGA agreements with additional carriers as the business grows
