Business Operations Intern

Who we are

Hokodo is an Insurtech company looking out for all the small businesses that have been left behind by today’s financial service offerings. We believe that the design and distribution of financial products has been broken for a long time, and we’re on a journey to fix it. Our insurance and financing solutions integrate into the tech platforms that SMEs use day-to-day, such as the online marketplaces they trade on, so they are available at the point of need. This allows us to simplify the entire insurance process in what can be a complex field; no paperwork, no hassle, no intermediaries.

We’re currently seed funded, with backing from a well-known venture capital investor. Right from the beginning we cut across geographical barriers and functional silos. Bringing together people from across Europe, our small, tight-knit team combines business and financial services knowledge with deep tech, design and data science skills. We don’t buy the traditional separation between business and technology.

We’re looking for like-minded people who are passionate about what they do, love to learn new things and have ambition to build extraordinary products. We’re offering an opportunity to work directly with the founders of this company as well as an abundance of opportunity for personal growth. 

What we offer

Hokodo offers a chance to join a fast-growing startup for a hands-on internship, with opportunities to work directly with the founders in a flat structure and a 1-2-1 mentorship throughout your time with us.

As we are scaling up our business you can expect to be exposed to a variety of tasks; we can give you as much opportunity and responsibility as you’re ready for.
