About Kinetic

The Kinetic team is on a mission to create a safer workplace and better life for the frontline workforce around the world. We are re-defining workers comp by focusing on three main pillars: injury prediction, prevention, and management. Kinetic develops technology-driven solutions in each of these areas to create best-in-class outcomes for our policyholders.

Kinetic’s first product is a smart wearable device that monitors kinematic motion of an employee, and helps provide coaching on high-risk ergonomic motions such as bending, twisting, and jumping. It has proven to be incredibly effective at reducing frequency and severity of strain and sprain injuries by over 55%.

Since then, we have expanded into developing tools such as a rapid-return-to-work process, computer vision for safety in the workplace, and generative AI for claims management. This is an exciting opportunity to work at a company fusing technology with industry leading services to create happier, healthier employees.

The Role

This is an exciting role to join Kinetic’s underwriting team, and own a territory expansion. Your responsibilities will include growing appointed broker relationships by engaging with producers on a regular basis, both over the phone and in person. You will own building relationships that grow into submission volumes and premiums in your designated territory, and help explain Kinetic’s value proposition to our brokers in order to win accounts.

Kinetic has an incredibly unique product that we are excited to offer to our brokers as a way to set their accounts up for injury reduction, premium savings, and happier employees over time. You will be the beacon of this message in your interaction with our brokers. You should have a strong background in positioning a value-based product in Workers’ Compensation and not be afraid that we are competing against lower price options.
