About the job
Kota is reimagining insurance and retirement benefits for the modern workforce. Through our two flagship products—Kota Platform, the first fully integrated benefits platform, and Kota Embed, our embedded insurance solution—we're making benefits more accessible, valued, and global.
Today, we power benefits for tens of thousands of employees at Europe's most forward-thinking companies, including Carwow, Tines, Zoe, and Remote. Founded in 2022, we've raised more than €20M from leading investors like EQT Ventures, Eurazeo, Northzone, and Frontline, along with founders and executives from Workday, Remote, Personio, OpenAI, and more.
Role overview
We’re hiring a Senior Product Designer to join Kota’s Customer Platform team. This is the heart of Kota: the app where employers and employees interact with our health, pension, and insurance services. The role will be an important addition to our team as we scale and there are several reasons to join now:
What You’ll Do
Own key web product areas from early concepts to shipped implementation
Turn ambiguous product problems into clear flows, interfaces, and interaction models
Raise the quality bar through design quality, critique, and thoughtful collaboration
Use Cursor or Claude Code to prototype, build, and iterate through simple interfaces.
Identify and design reusable components and patterns that improve consistency and speed across our Platform product.
Partner closely with engineering to scope, design, iterate, and ship at high velocity
Contribute to product thinking, the overall direction of our product, and growing our design culture, not just shipping new features.
You will be joining our design team early and working with our existing product designer. Together, you will form the core of our design function for Kota’s Customer Platform, collaborating to define the future of benefits and insurance.
What We’re Looking For
Experience as a product designer working on complex products, ideally in B2B, fintech, or other information-dense environments.
End-to-end thinking and ownership, from big-picture systems thinking to the smallest interaction detail.
Balance of speed and detail, knowing when to move fast and when to obsess over the last 1%.
Proven experience creating, maintaining, and scaling design systems and thinking in ways to create reusable patterns and components across each product.
Agency, ownership, and autonomy; someone who doesn’t wait to be told what to do.
Comfort working with AI tools like Cursor or Claude Code, even if you are not writing production-ready code.
A portfolio that shows strong product thinking, interaction design, and craft.
Our Values
Have Integrity. We care deeply about our why and it won’t jeopardise our how.
Care Deeply. Our products are our story, we look at the details, go the extra mile to delight customers.
Own Your Ship. Ask why, do the work, get the data, solve the problem, be an owner.
Raise the Bar. We continuously look to push past good enough. Expect more, move faster, and never stop raising your and the team’s standards.
Play to Win. We exist because we decided to say no to the norm – now we do this everyday.
And of course.... Your employee benefits!
Health Insurance contribution via Kota
Access to a Workplace Pension with matched contributions up to 5% via Kota
WFH stipend to support your home office needs

Generous Paid Time Off - work hard and take the time you need
