Job description

About Panora

Panora is building a suite of AI-powered agents for insurance brokers: a highly regulated and operationally complex industry.

Our ambition: become the AI Operating System for brokers in Europe, automating high-friction workflows while improving compliance, advisory quality, and client relationships.

The product is already live with brokerage firms across France and Belgium, with AI assistants in production (quotation automation, contract comparison, coverage analysis, compliance checks, document generation…).

Panora enables brokers to save hours every week, reduce analysis time by up to 70%, and focus on what truly matters: advising their clients.

Founded by Diane, ex-VC with a strong operational background, and Fabian, repeat founder and product-driven AI engineer, Panora is backed by Hexa (formerly eFounders), the startup studio behind Aircall, Spendesk, and Front.

We are entering a key phase of scaling and industrializing our AI platform.

We’re now looking for builders who want to work at the intersection of insurance operations, product, and AI.

Why This Role Exists

Insurance is complex, operational, and full of nuance: it cannot be designed through abstraction alone.

As our Product Designer, you will work directly with brokers, founders, and AI systems to help translate real-world insurance workflows into interfaces that actually work in practice.

This role is not for you if you’re looking for a traditional design role focused on pixel-pushing or visual polish alone.

You will help shape how insurance knowledge is structured, displayed, and used inside an AI-native product.

What You’ll Do

Insurance discovery & user research

• Work closely with our broker Design Partners to deeply understand their workflows

• Learn how brokers reason about risks, pricing, coverage decisions, and compliance

• Identify edge cases, exceptions, and non-standard situations that impact the user experience

Product design & delivery

• Contribute to overall strategy and decision-making about product direction

• Create, collaborate, and iterate on flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals

• Design and ship high-quality product improvements

• Translate complex insurance logic into clear, actionable, and reliable interfaces

AI experience & prompt collaboration

• Help design how AI outputs are presented, understood, and acted upon by brokers

• Work closely with product and engineering to improve output quality, relevance, and usability

• Contribute to refining how insurance nuance is reflected in the product experience

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who thrives in complexity and wants to help build an AI-native product in a highly operational industry.

• You’re a doer.

• You have experience designing UX and UI for software products

• You are expert using Figma as your primary design tool

• Experience working independently to explore concepts from beginning to end

• Demonstrated ability to design simple solutions to complex user problems

• An eye for high-quality, well-crafted visual and interaction design, and a passion for UI details

• Proficiency in prototyping your ideas to articulate nuanced design decisions

• You’re an explorer and don’t mind getting out of your comfort zone

• You are comfortable with feedback and committed to continually exploring alternative solutions

• You don’t need to be an expert on insurance, but you need to be motivated by the mission

Why Join

• Founding-level responsibility early in your career

• Direct exposure to product, engineering, and market participants (brokers, carriers)

• Steep learning curve at the intersection of insurance, product, and AI

• Real influence on how the product is built from day one

• Competitive compensation package, including equity

• Work from Hexa’s offices alongside founders, operators, and other early-stage startups
