Kota - Product Lead

• Product experience at lead, staff or principal level. Strong senior candidates are in scope if the rest lines up • An entrepreneurial streak. You've founded something, worked at an early-stage startup, or spent time in engineering before moving into product • You've owned the vision and strategy for an area, not just executed against someone else's • Comfortable with fluid scope. You've picked up an unfamiliar domain before and become useful quickly • Genuine AI fluency. You use AI tools daily in how you work, not just aware of them. We're an AI native company and this is part of the job, not a nice to have. • Genuine cross-business collaboration. You've worked with support, success and sales, not only with engineers and designers with the occasional customer call • You come from an environment with a high quality bar. It usually shows in the product itself • Clear, concise communication, spoken and written, focused on value and outcomes rather than process • Scale-up experience, roughly Series A to D. Seed-stage experience on top of that is a plus • Comfortable managing people, or ready to start • Domain experience. Fintech or Insurtech is the closest match to what you'll work on, then HR tech, benefits, employee expenses or travel. Anything sold to an employer that employees then use. The business model matters more than the industry label: if you've had to serve both an HR buyer and the employees using the product, that's the experience we care about • Not every box needs ticking. We'd rather see someone strong on several of these and light on others than someone who technically matches everything. • 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 every day. • Competency interview (60 mins) with one of our Product Leads, covering how you work, what you've owned and how you make product calls • Task session (60 mins) with our GM and one other, working through a real Insurances problem together • Call with founders (30 mins) with our CEO and CTO: our vision, and your thoughts on it
