Job description

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 hiring two Graduate Venture Operations Associates to join our team. Your primary focus will be managing the Closing Process – the process of transforming fully fundraised live deals on the Odin platform into actual legal investments.

Key responsibilities include:

• Calculating fees and final investment amounts
• Reviewing and ensuring the accuracy of legal documents
• Managing wire transfers to complete the investment process
• Directly liaising with customers at every stage of the process, noting feedback and identifying pain points to enhance their experience

Must-Have Qualities

• You have a drive to understand in detail how things fit together. It’s not just about execution for you; you want to get into the nuts and bolts of how things are happening and why
• You're a problem solver. You diligently resolve any challenges our customers face and act as their strategic partner to ensure they achieve their goals
• Your mindset sets you apart. Beyond adeptly maneuvering through spreadsheets, you recognize that to achieve process automation, leveraging technology is essential
• You're organized and focused. You know what it takes to get the job done, and you prioritize tasks logically so you're doing the most to move the needle
• You know how to balance multiple goals, tasks, and priorities. You're comfortable when given more than one task, and you thrive when given the autonomy to execute
• You're proactive. You're always on the front foot, pre-empting any issues or concerns with urgency and care

Your Experience & Background

While we consider the outlined qualities indispensable for this role, we believe success in this role can stem from diverse backgrounds. You may fall into one of the following categories:

Must-Have

• If you love building cool stuff and are brilliant with Excel, we’re flexible and open to learning about your previous role
• Recent graduates seeking a post-graduation internship are encouraged to apply
• Or, if you are currently enrolled in a university or a program and eager to commence a one-year placement at the earliest opportunity, we welcome your application

Contract Details

The starting salary for this role is £30,000, with a review at the six-month mark. This is a 12-month fixed-term contract. As we grow, we’ll make every effort to explore future opportunities within the business - but we also see this as a role that sets you up for an exciting next step in your career, whether that’s at Odin or beyond.

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 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
• Summer Offsite: Annual team retreat to connect and collaborate
• Equity: Share in Odin’s success with stock options for all permanent employees.
• Cycle to Work: Save on a bike and accessories through the Cycle to Work scheme
• 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
