About the job

About Kota

At Kota, we are redefining the landscape of insurance and retirement benefits for today's modern workforce. Our two flagship offerings—Kota Platform, the pioneering fully integrated benefits system, and Kota Embed, our innovative embedded insurance solution—are designed to make employee benefits more accessible, appreciated, and globally relevant.

Currently, we support benefits for tens of thousands of employees across Europe's most innovative companies, including Carwow, Tines, Zoe, and Remote. Established in 2022, we have successfully raised over €20M from prominent investors such as EQT Ventures, Eurazeo, Northzone, and Frontline, alongside founders and executives from esteemed organizations like Workday, Remote, Personio, and OpenAI.

Current stage: 50 employees, aiming to expand to over 100 by year-end.

The Role

This is not your typical Head of People position. As Kota's inaugural dedicated People leader, you will establish our internal People function from scratch while also acting as a representative voice in shaping the future of employee benefits.

Your main internal focus will be to develop a high-performing People function encompassing talent strategy, performance management systems, managerial development, and People operations across various European jurisdictions. The unique external component of this role involves direct collaboration with our clients (HR and People leaders), advising them on benefits strategies, working alongside Product teams on new offerings, and representing Kota in the wider HR community.

We are seeking an extraordinary individual who thrives in both realms—building the essential framework of a rapidly growing People function and influencing how organizations perceive and implement benefits.

This role is open to candidates based in Ireland or the UK.
