Kota is making insurance and retirement benefits as accessible as modern software. We do this across the Kota Platform - the world's first fully integrated benefits platform and Kota Embed - our embedded insurance and retirement product for platforms.
Our mission is to make insurance and benefits more accessible and delightful to this generation of employees.
Founded in 2022, Kota has raised €20m from Europe's top technology investors, including Eurazeo, EQT Ventures, Northzone, Frontline, and angels, including Job Van Der Voort of Remote, Romain Huet, formerly of Stripe, now Open AI, and David Clarke, formerly of Workday. The companies our investors have previously backed or built include Spotify, Airbnb, Klarna, Truelayer, Snapchat, Workday, Personio, Workvivo, Pointy, Workable, Wayflyer and more.
We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our design team, where you’ll learn about Kota, our products and business.
This is a foundational design leadership role where you'll shape how platforms, businesses and their employees experience insurance and benefits through our embedded UIs and more. You'll work closely with our existing designer and help elevate the entire design function through taste, systems thinking, and design leadership.
As our first senior designer, you'll be expected to drive design strategy, create and enhance our design systems for health and life insurers, and ensure our embedded products deliver exceptional experiences across all integration touchpoints.
Shape the Future of Benefits: Your designs will directly impact how millions of employees access insurance and retirement benefits through platforms they already use daily.
Design Systems Leadership: Build and evolve design systems that serve multiple insurer integrations and create consistency across our embedded ecosystem.
Cross-Product Impact: Work across our developer products group to create features and experiences that enhance all our integrations.
Mentorship Opportunity: Guide and develop our existing designer while building the design culture for our growing team.
Modern Design Environment: Work with cutting-edge embedded technologies and help define the future of insurance UX.
Autonomy and Ownership: Lead design decisions from strategy through execution with real responsibility from day one.
You’ll be joining a team of people who are all incredibly passionate, driven and excited about the work we’re doing and the change it’s creating across the industry and we’re looking for someone excited to join us and bring that same energy with you.
