Product Lead, Investments
About Kota:
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.
Today, we power benefits for hundreds of companies and thousands of employees from some of the most exciting and progressive employers in Europe, like Carwow, Tines, Zoe, Remote, and many more.
Kota was started in 2022 and 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.
Role Overview
We’re hiring a Product Lead to own the Investments stream — the part of Kota that powers retirement, savings, and wealth-building benefits.
You’ll lead the team responsible for pensions, master trust life and income protection, and other long-term investment products. This stream integrates with providers, manages contributions, and helps employees see and grow their savings over time.
You’ll combine commercial thinking, product intuition, and technical understanding to make complex, regulated investment products clear and approachable.
What You’ll Do
Shape and ship new pension, savings, and investment features for employers and employees.
Lead integrations with pension and investment providers, including master trusts bundling life or income protection cover.
Build transparency for users — contributions, balances, and performance insights.
Work with finance, compliance, and design to ensure accuracy and simplicity in equal measure.
Coach engineers and designers to deliver high-impact, well-scoped cycles.
What We’re Looking For
Experience with investment, pension, or wealth-management systems.
Product leadership background (founder, PM/EM hybrid, or senior engineer turned lead).
Analytical mindset and comfort with financial and regulatory data.
Track record of shipping user-facing financial products end-to-end.
Clear communicator who can align commercial, technical, and design perspectives.

Fearless: We exist because we decided to say no to the norm – now we do this everyday
