Mid-weight Product Designer/ Digital Designer
Hello, we're Laka
You might not have heard of us yet - that's OK, you've found us now - come and find out more about our journey...
Founded in 2017, Laka set out to transform insurance by connecting passionate cyclists to form a collective and protect their bikes for when things go wrong - a better model for insurance was born. For once people come first in insurance by fairly sharing the cost amongst each other. We exist to rewrite the rules of insurance so it's something people stand with, not against.
Our model: Laka makes sure everything runs smoothly for The Collective - from exceptionally fast claims, splitting the cost fairly, guaranteeing a maximum price and all the other heavy lifting of a regulated insurance business. For that service, the collective pays Laka a fee relative to the claims in a month.
We're growing real fast on our path to make the Laka collective model the industry standard and we're expanding across segments, products, and territories. We're looking for innovative, bold and brave minds to help us build the world's best insurance company.
About The Role
Day-to-day, you'll be the lynchpin in bringing our brand to life through digital channels. From continuously evolving the impact that our brand identity has on our digital product to supporting our creative team to bring our brand to life in marketing campaigns. You'll be tasked with bringing what makes Laka unique to life in every digital interaction.
On this journey, you will be supported and report to our Senior Product Designer.
