About Kota
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 such as EQT Ventures, Eurazeo, Northzone, and
Frontline, as well as founders and executives from Workday, Remote, Personio, OpenAI, and more.
The Role
You’ll lead the brokerage and insurance distribution function; the team responsible for advice, sales execution, RFPs, and client
interactions across all insurance lines (Life, Pensions, Private MI, and Personal General Insurance).
You're the person who ensures that every piece of advice we give, every quote we present, and every policy we place is in the best
interest of the customer.
This role exists because Kota is not a traditional broker. We distribute insurance through software and API integrations at scale.
The candidate needs to understand the business model and build a function that aligns with it and enhances it.

Why This Role Matters
Kota is scaling distribution through software. The volume of regulated activity is growing fast, and it can’t flow through one
person. This role gives us a dedicated, senior, qualified leader who owns the brokerage side of the house — someone who can move
as fast as the commercial team while maintaining the standard the regulator expects.
