The opportunity

Kin is expanding the ways we help homeowners take control of the financial side of homeownership. Property taxes are one of the largest and least understood expenses homeowners face, and many miss opportunities to challenge inaccurate property assessments.

We’re building solutions designed to help homeowners better understand and navigate the property tax appeals process. To support this effort, we’re seeking a Property Tax Appeals Consultant to bring deep subject matter expertise to our Product team and support our customers as we develop this capability.

In this role, you will help us translate the complexities of the Texas or Georgia property tax system—including regulatory requirements, county-level processes, and filing procedures—into practical insights and savings opportunities for our customers.

Your responsibilities

• Conduct informal appraisals, examining and evaluating residential and commercial properties, to establish market values
• Advise on Texas property tax protest regulations and compliance considerations relevant to developing a homeowner-facing solution
• Provide insight into county appraisal district practices and procedural differences across major state counties
• Explain protest submission workflows, including required documentation, filing timelines, and submission methods used across counties
• Share expertise on hearing preparation and protest strategy, including common expectations and best practices
• Help identify operational requirements and potential risks associated with launching a property tax protest support product
• Act as a trusted advisor during product design discussions, ensuring regulatory accuracy and operational feasibility

What you’ll bring

• 2+ years of experience working within the Texas or Georgia property tax protest and appeals process, including preparing filings and understanding how protests move through appraisal districts and review boards
• Strong familiarity with county-specific procedures, timelines, and filing requirements, particularly across major Texas counties
• Experience participating in or advising on property tax protest filings and appraisal review board hearings
• The ability to translate complex regulatory frameworks into clear, practical guidance for cross-functional teams, including product, operations, and technology partners and for customers
• A mindset that balances innovation with compliance, helping us find better ways to support homeowners while staying aligned with regulatory requirements
• Comfort working with early-stage initiatives where processes, tools, and products are still evolving
• Senior Property Tax Consultant License

Kin will accept applications for this role until March 31, 2026.

How we work

We don’t just hire for skills. We hire for alignment. Kinfolk bring diverse perspectives, but we’re united by a shared set of values that shape how we work and how we show up for each other and our customers.

Run through walls, together - Our industry is stuck in the status quo. But Kin is different. We are challengers. Innovators unwavering in our mission to fix insurance for those who need it most. We are changing insurance for good. We roll up our sleeves, take action, and get “impossible” things done every day with grit and teamwork.

Raise the bar. Drop the ego - Attitudes are contagious. Every one of us is responsible for creating the culture we want to work in. High performance. Low drama. Always respectful. Like professional sports teams, we win by working in sync. We show up, work hard, and play to each other’s strengths.

Act like an owner - We are owners, fully accountable for achieving Kin’s mission. That requires positive, proactive, big-picture thinking well beyond our job descriptions. Ask questions, take ownership. Do the right thing, even when it’s hard. Because when Kin thrives, so do you. And so do our customers.

Operate lean. Deliver more - We build efficiency into everything we do. Each dollar we save gets reinvested to deliver more to our customers: better pricing, more products, and new innovations. We work smarter by relentlessly prioritizing and using technology, including AI, to multiply our impact. Lean is about focus, not deprivation. Lean isn't a limitation – it's our competitive advantage.

Keep asking ‘What if?’ - We value curiosity. To make insurance better for our customers, we experiment. We embrace insights. And we base decisions on data rather than assumptions. We see setbacks as opportunities for growth and are always learning and improving. Both individually and as a company.
