Hello

I am a Product Marketing Manager at Hokodo. My role involves launching new products and features to the market and ensuring that we deliver the right message to the right audience at the right time.

Hokodo has an amazing culture where everyone is always willing to help, incredibly smart, and hands-on. We are united by the same mission and work hard to move the company forward. I genuinely enjoy working with everyone at Hokodo and find that I learn something new from my colleagues every day.

Hokodo is an excellent place to grow your career. The company offers many opportunities and has a very interesting product that is disrupting a market segment. If you're interested in fintech and want to work for an innovative company solving big problems in a fast-paced environment, Hokodo is the place for you.

As the Head of Compliance, I oversee and ensure adherence to regulatory requirements and internal policies to mitigate risk and maintain integrity of our financial services. My role includes developing compliance programs, conducting regular risk assessments, and providing guidance on compliance related issues to safeguard our clients and company.

The best thing about working in the Legal & Compliance team is the collaborative and dynamic environment, where we tackle complex regulatory challenges together. Our team’s expertise and dedication not only ensures the company’s compliance but also fosters a culture of integrity, making every day rewarding and impactful.

My favourite thing about Hokodo is the people. The team is composed of dedicated, talented individuals who are passionate about their work and supportive to one another.

I manage our corporate finance activities at Hokodo; this includes everything from working on raising new capital from investors (both debt and equity) and managing relationships with our existing investors and providing reporting to them, to managing our treasury function and supporting the VP Finance and the Founders on financial planning for the business. It's a lot of hats to wear but it keeps things interesting!

I always have something really interesting and challenging to work on while always feeling supported and that I'm part of a really wonderful team. In the 18 months I've been here, I don't think I've ever had a case of the 'Sunday Scaries' which is a first in my career!

Hokodo has the strongest culture of any company I've worked at, and I've been in companies that range from multinational professional services firms to seed stage SaaS start-ups. The values aren't just platitudes; everyone lives and breathes them. We're a high performing team that keeps things fun and enjoyable; I didn't think that I'd ever want to work in the Financial Services industry, but the team and culture at Hokodo has really converted me!

I’m a Fraud Analyst in the Data Science and Fraud Team, and in a nutshell my job is the detection and prevention of fraud. I work closely with a number of other departments to try and achieve this goal. Fraud prevention is not something that is done by one person or one team - it’s a company wide effort. We offer fraud protection as a part of our solution, meaning we accept liability for any fraud losses, so there’s a tangible financial impact to the company if we do not achieve this goal. This is a big responsibility, but gives me a strong feeling of ownership.

The exposure I get to the wider company and the involvement in projects from start to finish which I might not get at a larger company. Knowing I have influence on the performance of the company is really self-affirming. Along with this, I would say the people I work with – not just people in my immediate working circle but everyone I interact with in the company. At the end of the day this is just a job, but I’m spending 9 hours a day, 5 days a week here, so if I didn’t enjoy the people and the environment I work in then I wouldn’t still be here after 2+ years.

The opportunity to join a company on the up with real ambition to grow was exciting. I felt that the aim of the company was positive and worthwhile – helping small businesses and sole traders grow by offering them payment terms is a really worthy cause. Ultimately, it was about my personal growth – a startup environment meant wider exposure across the company, which was something I was, and still am, excited about.

I lead the Engineering Team at Hokodo. They are a super talented group of engineers spread between the UK and France. I also work very closely with the Product Team, and primarily focus on delivery, efficiency optimisation, and doing whatever the team needs to feel like they are doing their best work in an environment where they can make an impact, and also learn and grow.

There are a few! I love the mission and the excitement and passion across the business to achieve it. It has always felt like we’re working together to solve interesting problems - regardless of team or whether it is in our direct remit to solve. I particularly enjoy the autonomy and freedom we have at Hokodo to solve these interesting problems.

There is a clear problem to solve in the market, that no one has fully solved yet. And I’m super excited about the problems Hokodo has already solved, and the way we are approaching solving the next biggest problems. We’re at a really exciting stage in the company, and I’m excited to be part of where we are going and what we are trying to achieve.

As the Senior Talent Partner and sole recruiter at Hokodo, I identify, attract, and hire top talent for the company. I build strong networks, understand the specific needs of the company, and ensure a good match between candidates and job requirements. To do this, I use various sourcing strategies, conduct thorough interviews, and manage the hiring process to ensure a smooth and efficient experience for both the Hiring Managers I work with, and the candidates.

My favourite thing about working at Hokodo is how much ownership we all have. Values like 'Trust and Build Trust' really guide how we work together every day. It's awesome how easy it is to talk to anyone here, whether they're on another team or one of the Founders. We're all in it together, and that makes a big difference.

I joined Hokodo because I wanted to make a bigger impact than I could in my previous corporate job, and that's exactly what's happening here. The company's focus on trust and collaboration really spoke to me. It's a place where I feel supported to contribute my ideas and see them turn into meaningful outcomes.
