- You build, not buy: Clear evidence, at work or in your own time, that you've built real solutions with AI with no budget and no engineers. Buying a tool or setting up workflows in Sheets doesn't count. We want to see what you've shipped in Claude Code or similar.
- Founder or product DNA: You've founded something, been early on a founding team, or worked as a product manager. That usually means four or more years of experience and a track record of finishing what you start.
- Systems thinker: You look at any process the way a good product manager looks at a product: What's the job? Why are we doing this at all? What's the smallest, simplest system that achieves the goal? You think about the whole business, not just your corner of it.
A lot of what happens in fund admin is inherited convention, an industry "given", or a constraint of some third party. You should find it physically difficult to accept any of that.
- In the details and extremely on top of things: You understand every single aspect of our systems end to end. You close loops, you chase, you push hard to get things done.
- Numerate: Comfortable with financial mechanics, strong mental arithmetic. You'll be automating a lot of numerical work - carry, allocations, fee calculations, distributions, and the edge cases that make all of them interesting.
- Big plus: regulated financial services background: Fund administration, custody, payments, brokerage, audit, tax or another back office function. Useful, but not required. We care much more about the traits you have and the things you can build than specific skills or experience on your CV.
How we work
There are five things we care about deeply
- Reason from the ground up
Seek to understand what is true by always asking why. Do not trust convention or experts.
We work fast. Speed compounds, it's the best form of defensibility, and it's energising to be around. If you work slowly, or tolerate slow work around you, you do not belong at Odin.
Do not wait for permission to do things. Find the answer, force the thing into existence and hold others to an extremely high standard - the same standard you hold yourself to.
If work doesn't meet the bar, people need to hear it, and the right people want to.
- Truly excellent customer service
Be a stickler for detail in every single interaction a customer has with us, and always strive to make this experience better, smoother, faster.
