About The Position

We’re looking for a senior recruiter to own hiring across a broad set of functional areas - including operations, commercial, product, design, go-to-market, people and finance. Nearly every role at Odyssey is unique and high-impact, so this feels more like executive recruiting than high-volume hiring. You’ll work closely with leadership to identify, attract, and close exceptional talent in a highly competitive market.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role. If you’ve reached manager level and want to get back to the craft of recruiting at a company where every hire matters, this could be a great fit.

• Structured thinker; analytical and data-oriented
• Relationship oriented when it matters most
• Exceptional listening skills with candidates and stakeholders

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Partner directly with founders and hiring managers to define role requirements and hiring strategy
• Source, engage, and close senior and executive-level candidates in a highly competitive talent market
• Develop creative outreach strategies to attract candidates who may not yet know Odyssey - we’re building employer brand awareness from the ground up
• Implement and refine structured, data-driven recruiting processes
• Leverage AI tools (Claude, OpenAI, etc.) to enhance sourcing, outreach, and workflow efficiency
• Manage candidate experience end-to-end, ensuring a high-touch, executive-level process for every hire
