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.
We’re starting by making it radically easier for anyone, anywhere, to launch & run an angel syndicate or venture firm.
We handle all the “plumbing” through one seamless platform - everything from setting up the legal structure for an investment vehicle through to processing payments.
We’re already trusted by over 7,000 VCs, angels and founders, and we are just getting started.
The Role
Reporting to our Financial Operations Lead, with a dotted line to the founders, you’ll be responsible for:
- Owning the SPV Process: Taking charge of the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) process from a FinOps perspective, managing tasks such as setting up legal entities, investment closing, processing refunds, dealing with exits, and overseeing other investment events and regulatory reporting
- Documentation: Meticulously documenting all SPV processes and proposing enhancements and automations to streamline our operations
- Implementation of Improvements: Internally implementing SPV process improvements and collaborating with the Product team on automation and productisation
- Customer Interaction: Directly liaising with customers at every stage of the process, noting feedback and identifying pain points to enhance their experience
This role extends beyond managing day-to-day processes. Your mission to optimise, streamline, and automate existing operations for enhanced efficiency.
Mentorship and Learning Opportunities
In addition to your core responsibilities, you'll receive mentorship directly from our Founders and Leadership team. We believe in nurturing talent and are committed to supporting your professional growth. This one-year placement is brilliant if you want to collaborate with different teams and gain early business exposure that will help accelerate your career.
