Odin is on a mission to build more companies the world needs, by creating better infrastructure for innovation

We are starting by making it radically more efficient to launch and invest in SPV’s, syndicates & venture funds. By empowering communities and individuals to invest in companies the world needs, we can build a better future for everyone.

tl;dr

We are looking for a talented, entrepreneurial all-rounder to lead growth and partnerships at Odin.

You need to be a bit of “startup Swiss army knife”: a good written communicator, well-organised, driven and gregarious.

The role suits a good sole contributor, but will also involve working with and coaching junior team members.

The role

Day to day you will be driving our inbound pipeline of SPV and fund set up opportunities, by;

1. Building relationships and partnerships with VC’s, accelerators, founders, angel investors and other startup service providers who can act as both referrers and customers;
2. Speaking at events and act as a thought-leader in the early-stage investment ecosystem;
3. Supporting and training more junior team members;
4. Working closely with the broader business development team to achieve our revenue and growth targets.

You will report directly to one of the co-founders.

You

• 3-5 years of experience in partnerships, sales or growth roles.
• Polished, articulate, and credible when communicating with partners in business and social settings across all levels of seniority;
• Outstanding sales and negotiation skills, with a history of over achieving targets;
• Strong bias for action with an ability to bring others along in the effort to build a scalable go-to-market and partnerships organisation;
• Previous experience in consulting, a high-growth startup, or venture capital an advantage.

Application Process

• Send an email introducing yourself, and a CV to chris@joinodin.com
• We will be screening candidates on an ongoing basis.
• There will be four stages:
  • Initial call with our recruiter
  • Call with Tim, our founders associate
  • Written task
  • Call with one of the co-founders

About Odin

Technology, academia and venture capital have collided to create enormous value in the last 50 years. But many people and problems have been left behind.

Odin is on a mission to build more companies the world needs by creating better infrastructure for innovation.

We want to empower individuals and communities globally to build and invest in things they believe in.

We closed a pre-seed round in September 2021 with Haatch Ventures, Material V, IPQ Capital and angels like Jelle Prins(first designer/ product manager @ Uber), Sarah Drinkwater (Atomico Angel, ex head of Google Campus), Alex Macdonald (co-founder of Velocity Black), Warrick Shanly (VP at Eurazeo & Soma Capital) Kirsten Connell (VP Octopus Ventures, ex-GM Seedcamp), Björn Wagner (co-founder of Parity and Polkadot), Matt Penneycard (co-founder of Ada Ventures), and many more amazing founders, operators and VC's (as angels) from the European venture ecosystem and further afield.

Since August last year, we have helped investors deploy over $17m, whilst in private beta, growing 30% month on month. We are now hiring aggressively to build the best angel investment platform in Europe.

🤲 Values

💯 Customer Obsession

Our customers are the most important thing to our business. We are conscientious in how we deal with them, and we constantly strive to provide the products and service that they desire.

⏱ Work hard and enjoy the journey

The more you put in, the more you will get out, both in terms of results and enjoyment.  But of course, make sure you make time for yourself and have a life outside of work, or you won't perform at your best.

💸 Focus

As a general rule**,** 80% of results come from 20% of efforts. Every week, ask yourself what one big thing you're going to achieve that will move the dial for the business.

💨 Take action, take ownership

When you are uncertain, assess whether or not a decision is a revolving door (reversible) or a one-way door (irreversible). If it’s revolving (it usually is), make the decision that you think is fit.

🎤 Be Transparent

Always speak up. Offer and ask for help and feedback. We value honest feedback delivered with kindness, and we value people who ask questions. If you don't understand something, or think something could be done better, tell your team.

💜 Be kind and do the right thing

Never lose sight of your instincts. We hired you because we think your heart is in the right place. Prioritise doing what is ethical and just, and put this ahead of what is most profitable or easiest - whether you're dealing with a colleague or a customer.
