Senior Recruiter

Who we are

Odyssey is an AI lab pioneering general-purpose world models—a new form of multimodal intelligence unlocking entirely new consumer, enterprise, and intelligence applications. World models are the next major frontier in AI, and Odyssey is leading the way with breakthrough models like Odyssey-2 Pro.

What we’re looking for

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.

What you’ll do

• Own the full recruiting lifecycle for operations, product, design, go-to-market, and finance roles

• 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

• Senior-level recruiter with meaningful in-house experience

• Track record of filling a broad variety of role types across multiple functions

• Executive recruiting experience strongly preferred - comfort with high-touch, high-stakes searches

• Has worked in a quickly scaling recruiting organization

• Contributed to establishing key processes

• Delivered results in an organization with exceptionally high talent density

• Curious and quick to ramp on emerging technology - experience in robotics, AI, or deep tech is ideal but not required

• Deep sourcing expertise. Develop sourcing and engagement strategies in highly competitive industry

• Structured thinker; analytical and data-oriented

• Relationship oriented when it matters most

• Exceptional listening skills with candidates and stakeholders

• Proven ability to use data to drive recruiting performance improvements

• Able to communicate effectively with logical, data-driven stakeholders (founders, engineers, researchers)
