About the role
- Overseeing the compliant flow of funds through the platform - from initial investor payments through to dividends and exits - across every investment vehicle administered by Odin. You’ll be accountable for accuracy, compliance, and confident decision-making even when the data isn't perfect.
- Managing Odin’s internal finances, including month-end close, invoicing, payroll, and quality control over our external bookkeeping partner’s work.
- Ensuring financial data integrity. Every transaction, ownership record, and ledger entry must balance. When something doesn’t, you’ll trace the issue, fix it, and implement systems to prevent it happening again.
- Partnering with product and operations to automate manual workflows, reduce error rates, and build innovative, accurate financial infrastructure as we scale.
- Serving as the senior escalation point for complex operational problems, trusted to make the right call and give guidance to more junior team members when the path isn’t clear, by using your judgement and external counsel where necessary.
- Taking ownership of all or part of one-off, high-value projects, from regulatory license applications to complex new products for our customers, and seeing them through with minimal guidance.
- Coaching junior members of the Operations team, setting high standards and helping them build the judgment needed to operate confidently in more complex situations.
Requirements
- Strong accounting fundamentals and a sharp analytical instinct.
- Motivated by solving detail-heavy problems that others avoid.
- Willing to take ownership and responsibility for matters where the stakes are very high.
- Think in systems and are always looking for ways to automate or improve.
- Write and speak clearly, especially when explaining complex data to non-finance peers.
- Love learning and want to keep expanding your expertise. You might not be a fund accountant yet, but you can learn quickly and find external guidance yourself when you need it.
- Want to build rather than maintain, and see every manual process as a temporary state.
Benefits
- Remote-Friendly: Work from anywhere, with the flexibility to use our London office or co-working spaces every Wednesday
- Flexible Working: Work remotely (except Wednesdays) with flexible hours between 7 AM and 10 PM
- Health: Private health insurance (Vitality), paid sick leave (including support for pregnancy loss and fertility treatments), and free access to Spill for mental health support
- Wellness: £1,000 annual budget for health and wellness therapy, or fitness
- Parental Leave: Enhanced maternity, adoption, paternity, and partner leave
- Home Office Support: £900 budget for setup + local co-working space options
- Pension: 4% employer contribution, with salary sacrifice options and NI savings reinvested into your pension
- Time Off: 25 days of annual leave, 2 wellness days, and flexible bank holidays (33 days total)
- Birthday Leave: An extra day off to celebrate your birthday
