People Ops & Events Intern

About Odin

Odin is building the investment infrastructure for the future of private markets. We believe capital is one of the most powerful tools for shaping the world - and more people should be putting it to work. Our mission is to make it radically easier to raise and deploy capital, so that anyone, anywhere, can back the companies and ideas they believe in.

Our first product is a full-stack platform for launching and running private investment firms - think Shopify for VC and PE. We handle all the infrastructure: from legals and investor onboarding to KYC/AML, payments, tax, reporting, and exits.

We’re already trusted by over 10,000 angels, VCs, and founders. We administer over $500m in assets, covering investments from pre-seed to series E. This includes household names like ElevenLabs, OpenAI, SpaceX, xAI, Anduril, etc. but also new companies creating everything from synthetic brains to small nuclear reactors.

The Role

Reporting to our Head of People & Talent, you will play a key role in how Odin runs its office, supports its team, and creates a high-quality experience for the people who interact with us, from employees and new joiners to candidates, founders, investors and wider ecosystem.

This is primarily an office, operations, and events role. You’ll help make sure the office runs smoothly day to day, support the team with the practical things that help them do great work, and coordinate events that strengthen Odin’s presence in the startup and private markets ecosystem. It’s also a role with exposure to people operations, onboarding, and internal process improvement. Over time, there is scope to get involved in how we use AI to build smarter ways of working across the function.

Your responsibilities will include:

• External events and ecosystem activity: Support the logistics for Odin events with customers, founders, investors, and wider ecosystem. This could include booking venues, coordinating suppliers, managing guest lists, supporting comms, and helping with on-the-day set-up and pack-down.

• People operations: Support the day-to-day running of our people processes, from expense management to keeping our HRIS and employee data accurate and up to date.

• Office management: Keep the office running smoothly day to day. This includes managing supplies, liaising with building management, making sure the space is well-stocked and well-presented, and being the go-to person for practical on-site support.

• Team experience: Help create a thoughtful and well-organised day-to-day experience for the team, from making sure the office works well to supporting the moments that help people feel informed, and able to do their best work.

• Onboarding: Support a smooth, well-organised experience from offer acceptance to first day, including IT set-up, equipment, office preparation, and cross-functional coordination.

• Broader People and Talent projects: Contribute across engagement, employer brand, operator network, and community-building initiatives as priorities shift. You’ll play a hands-on role in how we grow, nurture, and strengthen the communities around Odin

About You

We’re looking for someone exceptionally organised, resourceful, and proactive to help build a high-performance culture at Odin and support the events that define us in the founder and investor communities we serve. The job is demanding. There are more than a few things to do at any moment, and we need someone who can take ownership, move fast, and get the details right without being asked twice.

Must-Have

• You see the brand in every detail. Events, systems, swag, follow-up emails - they’re all just different ways that Odin shows up for the people who interact with it.

• You have coordinated something logistically complex, whether professionally or otherwise.

• You care about people experience. You notice when something could feel better for someone, whether that is an onboarding flow, an event, or a process, and you want to fix it.

• You are energised by variety and by people. Whether you are setting up for an event or fixing a broken process, you show up with the same level of care and enthusiasm.

• You handle a busy inbox without dropping things, juggle ten conversations in a morning, and can hold your own with a demanding founder or investor.

• You stay calm under pressure, and are persuasive when it counts. If a supplier flakes the night before or the venue is double booked, you handle it.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to events or people operations

• You have used AI tools in a hands-on way, building automations, workflows, or anything beyond basic prompting.

• You are someone who can actively identify where LLMs and automation can improve how we work, and help build it. This could be workflows, people dashboards, onboarding automations, or internal tools. If you are someone obsessed with removing the most manual, time-consuming parts of running a people function, we want to hear from you.

We know this role covers a lot of ground, and you may not tick every box. If you haven't had the chance to work with AI or LLMs yet but you are exceptionally organised, thrive in a varied role, and have experience organising events, managing logistics and supporting people, we would still love to hear from you.

Working at Odin

We’re a London-based team, and for this role being in the office makes a real difference. The speed and intensity we operate at make in-person collaboration crucial, and we expect at least three days per week in the office. Given the nature of the role and cadence of events, there will be periods occasional where you may be in person up to five days per week or required to flex hours to be available for events that could run during the evening or fall on the weekend.
