Vice President, Operations - Remote Insurtech

About us: kWh Analytics delivers insurance for the climate. We invented the Solar Revenue Put to help solar investors to reduce their biggest cost: the cost of capital. The credit enhancement is backed by the world’s largest reinsurer (Swiss Re) and has been valued by the leading project finance banks (such as MUFG and Nomura) and implemented by top investors (such as AES and Ares) on more than $3 Billion of solar projects. We wrote the book on defining “risk management”  for solar investors. 
By combining the industry’s broadest database of historical solar asset performance (>30% of the US market) and the strength of the global insurance markets, kWh Analytics enables clients to minimize risk and increase returns. kWh Analytics is backed by private venture capital and the US Department of Energy.
kWh Analytics is launching its 2nd insurance product--property insurance for renewable energy--following the successful launch of the Solar Revenue Put in 2018.

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.
