Odin
Odin helps people to raise and deploy capital seamlessly We envision a world where people can vote with their money on what the future looks like, and participate in creating it. Our first product makes it radically easier for anyone, anywhere, to launch & run an investment firm - think "Shopify for asset managers". We handle all the "plumbing" and paperwork through one seamless platform - everything from setting up the legal structure for an investment vehicle through to processing exits. We're already trusted by over 10,000 VCs, angels and founders, and we're one of the fastest-growing fintechs in the UK, tripling income YoY. We've raised $3m in seed funding from top angels, family offices and VCs to support our own growth, and we are just getting started. The Role We're looking for a Senior Talent Partner to help shape and scale the way we hire at Odin. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments - someone who combines sharp hiring judgement with operational rigour and a strong sense of care. You'll join at a formative moment. Odin is transitioning from startup to scale-up, and 2025 will bring some of the most critical hires in our company's history. We're also building the Talent function from the ground up, and this role is about more than just filling roles - it's about building the processes, systems, and behaviours that help us hire faster and better while protecting the quality bar and culture we care about. If you're excited by the idea of designing hiring processes, coaching managers, and helping great people find impactful work - all while operating with autonomy, context, and care - we'd love to hear from you. Responsibilities: Run end-to-end hiring processes, particularly at senior and business-critical levels Partner closely with hiring managers to deeply understand each role and team context Lead kick-offs, driving clarity and extracting the right level of thinking upfront Support managers in designing and running structured interview processes, incorporating challenges, scorecards and rubrics Own candidate communication with empathy, warmth, clarity and precision Track, report and analyse hiring metrics to inform improvements Drive operational improvements across Ashby, our ATS, documentation and interview quality Represent Odin externally with a strong understanding of our values and culture Spot quality signals fast and provide clear, well-reasoned recommendations with limited oversight Bring a systems mindset to the way we scale: spotting gaps, joining dots, and thinking beyond what's written Explore how we can use AI tools to improve how we hire. You'll test ideas across sourcing, outreach, screening, and candidate experience - bringing recommendations and helping us stay ahead of the curve Contribute to employer brand and EVP by helping communicate what makes Odin special. You'll craft outreach and content that resonates with the right people Challenge and improve how we hire. You'll bring expertise to every kickoff and help iterate on our hiring processes to improve quality, speed, and consistency About You You're a thoughtful, experienced talent partner who cares deeply about people, process and outcomes - with strong internal filters and high standards across the board You've led multiple hiring processes at once, ideally in a fast-paced, early-stage environment where ambiguity, urgency and competing priorities are the norm You have experience in talent operations and attention to detail - spotting blockers early, keeping things moving, and improving systems as you go You're a clear, intentional communicator across async, written and verbal channels - able to bring others with you and influence at a senior level You lead confidently in ambiguity, surfacing risks, asking the right questions, and helping hiring managers move forward with aligned, quality decisions You adjust your style depending on the stakeholder - balancing care with challenge, and using strategic empathy to support better thinking across the hiring team You've got excellent hiring judgement across different functions - able to assess skills, behaviours and values alignment, not just experience on paper You're a strong sourcer who knows how to write compelling outreach and build genuine relationships with passive candidates You hold high standards for candidate experience and treat people with care, even when things are moving quickly You're curious and improvement-minded - always looking for ways to make the process better, and not afraid to challenge existing norms You're calm and clear under pressure, with strong follow-through and a focus on reducing complexity You take ownership for both outcomes and experience - leading processes that others can rely on, and helping us build a better hiring culture along the way Bonus if: Experience as a first or early Talent hire, where you had to build structure from scratch Experience using hiring funnel data to influence decisions, prioritise roles, or coach hiring managers Exposure to employer branding or talent marketing This role is probably not for you if Relies heavily on structure or playbooks - This role requires someone who thrives in ambiguity, not someone who needs clear templates or step-by-step guidance to make progress. Avoids or delays decision-making in grey areas - We need someone who can assess incomplete context and make confident, high-quality calls without escalating unnecessarily. Struggles to challenge or influence senior stakeholders - A strong candidate should be able to push back constructively, challenge thinking when needed, and drive clarity - even in rooms with senior leaders. Don't enjoy outbound - This role includes proactive pipeline building. Someone who relies solely on inbound or is hesitant to source won't thrive here. Plays back opinions rather than surfacing original thinking - We need someone who brings their own views to the table, not just someone who agrees or repeats what's already been said. Over-focuses on the what rather than the how - Someone who takes things at face value, struggles to read between the lines, or doesn't think critically about context won't thrive. This role requires someone who can interrogate the brief, challenge assumptions, and make sense of what's not said as much as what is. Bottom line This isn't about whether you've done 360 hiring before - it's about how you approach it. We're not looking for someone to simply execute. We're hiring a strategic partner who thinks deeply about the role hiring plays in a business, asks the right questions, and isn't afraid to challenge when needed. You'll be the first person every candidate meets and a key influence on how managers shape their thinking. You're not just moving people through a process - you're holding the bar, shaping the experience, and carrying our values at every step. Your Location We're a remote-first team, but for this role, we're specifically looking for someone based in the UK. Whilst there's no requirement to come into an office, we do have one you can use, where some of the team work regularly. The People & Talent team gets together once a month, and we'd love for you to be part of those sessions to collaborate & connect. The Hiring Process Initial Call: Meet with Imani, our Head of People & Talent, to discuss the role, your experience, and ensure alignment (20 mins) Deep Dive Interview: Another conversation with Imani, to unpack your experience and goals (1 hour) Workshops: Now that you're in the running, it's time to spend some time assessing how well you could do the role (2 hours) Final Interviews: Meet with Mary, one of our Founders, and Claire, our VP of Engineering for an in-depth discussion about our values & vision (1 hour) Salary The salary band for this role is £57,000 - £71,000 + equity options. During the hiring process, we'll assess your experience and capabilities using our internal levelling framework to determine your starting salary. Working at Odin We encourage a balanced way of working. We're a fast-growing startup building something very ambitious, and we expect you to work hard, and relish this challenge. However, we also offer flexibility, and we support your life outside of work so you can bring your best to the table. Our benefits include: Remote-First: Work from anywhere in the UK, with the flexibility to use our London office or co-working spaces when it suits you Health & Wellbeing: Private health insurance (Vitality), paid sick leave, and free access to Spill for mental health support Parental Leave: Enhanced maternity, adoption, paternity, and partner leave, plus support for pregnancy loss and fertility treatments Flexible Working: Work remotely with flexible hours between 7 AM and 10 PM Home Office Support: £900 budget for setup Social Budgets: Monthly budget to meet teammates in person or remotely Work From Anywhere:The freedom to work from anywhere in the world Summer Offsite: . click apply for full job details

Our first product makes it radically easier for anyone, anywhere, to launch & run an investment firm - think "Shopify for asset managers". We handle all the "plumbing" and paperwork through one seamless platform - everything from setting up the legal structure for an investment vehicle through to processing exits. We're already trusted by over 10,000 VCs, angels and founders, and we're one of the fastest-growing fintechs in the UK, tripling income YoY. We've raised $3m in seed funding from top angels, family offices and VCs to support our own growth, and we are just getting started. The Role We're hiring a Head of Venture Ops to lead the next phase of Odin's operational evolution. This is a rare opportunity to step into a fintech and build the function that keeps the engine running. You'll be responsible for the full operational stack: Deal Closing Ops, Customer Experience, and Compliance - with a remit that will expand to include Legal and Finance operations as we grow. You'll be stepping into a function that has made huge progress in a short time, but still needs the right leader to scale it. Your role is to lead from the front, take ownership of people, systems, and outcomes, and shape how operations supports the next stage of Odin's growth. This is not a player-coach role. You'll need to be hands-on at the start, onboarding as a senior operator who deeply understands how the function works. But your mandate is much bigger: to shape the team, build the next layer of management in your function, and ensure the right resources and structures are in place to scale operations effectively. You're not here to take over Deal Ops, CX, Compliance, Finance or Legal - you're here to lead the people who do, and enable them to perform at their best. Mission & Responsibilities: Reporting to Mary, one of our founders, this role is about owning and evolving the entire operations function at Odin - from what it is today, to what it needs to become as we scale. You'll focus on the UK and core operations to start, but the systems you build will lay the groundwork for international expansion - including our US launch. Take end-to-end ownership of Deal Ops, from fundraising completion through to legal execution and distribution. Manage the current operations team: Deal Ops associates, the CX team, and the Compliance function. You'll be responsible for their development and performance. As we grow, you'll expand the function to include Legal and Finance operations, building strong cross-functional partnerships in both areas. Shape the structure and future of the operations function. That means hiring and enabling the right senior team members across each operational area, and ensuring they have what they need to succeed as we scale. Be a strong operational leader. You'll lead by example, especially in the early months, getting hands-on where needed and setting the tone for operational excellence, not by fixing everything yourself, but by building systems and supporting others to thrive. You'll own the operational levers that drive commercial results - reducing close time and cost per deal, improving retention through better CX, and supporting product launches that unlock new revenue streams. Build a culture of operational excellence - rigour, ownership, accountability, and pace - and model those values in how you lead. Design and evolve team structures, workflows, and reporting systems. You'll implement clear accountability, team rituals, and tracking mechanisms. As part of the SLT, you'll partner closely with founders and collaborate with product and engineering to ensure scalable, efficient workflows. This is a role for someone who thrives in complexity. You can manage the day-to-day while building for what's next - a system and a team that can power Odin at scale. About You Must-haves: Strong leadership skills, with the ability to set vision and direction while supporting the day-to-day. Experience leading operations in a high-growth startup or fast-paced environment. Proven ability to manage people effectively, including managing ICs and managers, giving feedback, and coaching for growth. Demonstrated ability to build and restructure teams and implement durable processes. Operational confidence across legal, financial, or compliance-heavy environments (you don't need to be the expert, but you must be able to lead them). High emotional resilience and clarity under pressure - you can handle hard conversations and maintain perspective. Strong commercial judgement - you make decisions that support wider business outcomes. Comfortable taking ownership in ambiguous situations and moving fast without waiting for permission. Nice-to-haves: Experience leading in a regulated environment (e.g. compliance-heavy or financial services context). Not essential - but helpful if you've had to build systems that meet regulatory requirement Experience scaling multiple teams or working across multiple domains (e.g. legal ops, customer success, finance ops). Prior experience hiring and building out middle management. Exposure to investor operations or compliance workflows (e.g. KYC, AML, SPV structuring). Product intuition and experience working with engineering teams to build better tools and workflows. Comfort working directly with founders and/or exec leadership. We don't mind whether you've managed one function or six. What matters is your ability to lead through others, build systems that scale, and demonstrate the judgement, clarity and leadership required to operate at this level. We care just as much about how you think, lead, and learn as we do about what's on your CV. Your Location We're a remote-first team, but for this role, we're specifically looking for someone based in the UK. While there's no obligation to use our office, we'd love to discuss how you approach the balance between in-person touchpoints and remote work when building and leading a team. We're especially interested in hearing how you might structure deal operations to encourage autonomy, foster collaboration, and maintain high performance in a predominantly remote environment. Working at Odin We encourage a balanced way of working. We're a fast-growing startup building something very ambitious, and we expect you to work hard, and relish this challenge. However, we also offer flexibility, and we support your life outside of work so you can bring your best to the table. Our benefits include: Remote-First: Work from anywhere in the UK, with the flexibility to use our London office or co-working spaces when it suits you Health & Wellbeing: Private health insurance (Vitality), paid sick leave, and free access to Spill for mental health support Parental Leave: Enhanced maternity, adoption, paternity, and partner leave, plus support for pregnancy loss and fertility treatments Flexible Working: Work remotely with flexible hours between 7 AM and 10 PM Home Office Support: £900 budget for setup + co-working space expense options Expense Card: Your own company card for work-related spending Social Budgets: Monthly budget to meet teammates in person or remotely Work From Anywhere: The freedom to work from anywhere in the world Equity: Share in Odin's success with stock options for all permanent employees. Pension: 4% employer contribution, with salary sacrifice options and NI savings reinvested into your pension Learning & Wellness: £1,000 annual budget for courses, training, therapy, or fitness Time Off: 25 days of annual leave, 2 wellness days, and flexible bank holidays Accessibility Adjustments ️ We're committed to removing invisible barriers. If there are any adjustments we can make to better support you, please let us know when you apply.
