About Kota
Kota is the only broker that runs employee benefits for you. Combining health cover, pensions, protection, spend cards, and flexible perks with HRIS integrations, Kota replaces spreadsheets, manual admin, and once-a-year broker calls with one connected system - backed by a team of benefits experts behind every recommendation.
Kota powers benefits for more than 100,000 employees, across companies from fast-growing scale-ups to global HR and payroll platforms.
Investors include Eurazeo, EQT Ventures, Northzone, Frontline Ventures, 9Yards, and Plug and Play Ventures. The Kota team includes experts who previously led at global financial services firms and fintechs such as Airwallex, Stripe, Bolt, Revolut - as well as insurance and benefits providers such as Aviva, Allianz, AXA, and Smart Pension.
Our GTM team works in a hybrid work environment with a minimum of 2 days per week required in our office in London.

A note on regulatory qualifications
Selling employee benefits involves regulated activity in both the UK and Ireland. Kota will fund and support you to achieve the relevant qualification in each market. We see this as an investment in you, not a box-tick. It opens up earning potential and client credibility that most AE roles in SaaS won’t give you.
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.
