Amanda Lister

Senior Growth Analyst (Revenue & Strategy) @ Kin Insurance

About

I build the operating infrastructure that turns growth strategy into revenue. At Kin Insurance, that means owning the commission reconciliation engine ($300K–$500K/month), building the headcount and compensation models that drive capacity planning, and analyzing CAC drivers and sales efficiency metrics to inform where we invest next. Before insurtech, I spent two years at DWS Group bridging Finance and Operations — consolidating 12 property structures into one reporting unit, directing platform analytics that cut monthly errors from 20+ to 4, and reviewing close packages for REIT and fund reporting. I started my career in audit and assurance at Plante Moran, where I built the quantitative analysis and compliance instincts I still use every day. What I do best: take messy, cross-functional problems — misaligned comp plans, opaque reporting, disconnected systems — and build the models, processes, and stakeholder alignment to solve them. I’m always interested in connecting with people working in Strategy & Operations, Revenue Operations, and Business Operations — especially in growth-stage or mission-driven environments.
