Role
Who you are
- 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 technical mindset sets you apart. Beyond adeptly manoeuvring through spreadsheets, you recognise that to achieve process automation, leveraging technology is essential
- You’re organised and focused. You know what it takes to get the job done, and you prioritise tasks logically so you’re doing the most to move the needle
- You have a deep need to improve processes. You’re not satisfied with manual operations, and you know how to spot an unorganised, inefficient process. You’re proactive in leading internal changes that optimise the entire company's approach
- 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
- You’ve recently graduated with a degree in Finance from a top-tier university
- You achieved at least an A (or equivalent) in Mathematics during your GCSEs or A-levels (or equivalent)
- You have a strong love of numbers, with a solid understanding of how numbers fit together and how formulas work
- You enjoy working with Excel and can proficiently use input formulas and navigate the software with above-average skill

Our take
Odin is at the apex of two major trends in finance: the democratisation of access to private markets through technology, and the increasingly social feel of finance and investing. The startup began as a social network with an investment layer built on top, though it is now a more focused financial service that simplifies startup investing.
The company's roots in social and community speak to a unique trajectory it is on. After gaining a lot of traction with its syndicate-formation service, the startup has been looking to develop further products that decentralise and simplify capital rails for the innovation ecosystem. It’s likely that the product roadmap will be developed in conjunction with its customer base, many of whom attend Odin’s salons.
Though the company has had to navigate an environment where capital going towards innovative companies is at a fraction of where it once was, it appears to have emerged unscathed, if not stronger. In 2023, it raised £2.4 million in a seed round that included contributions from 220 angels through its own platform. It plans to use these funds to roll out its marketplace for people raising money to find investors, as well as support scale-up plans across Europe and possibly into Asia.
