Full description
Who we are
Odyssey is an AI lab pioneering general world models: causal, multimodal systems that learn to predict and interact with the world over long horizons. This foundational technology promises to revolutionize robotics, science, healthcare, education, gaming, defense, and beyond.
Odyssey’s founders previously pioneered the most complex application of physical AI: self-driving cars. They’ve now brought together a world-class research team from DeepMind, Tesla, Waymo, Meta, Apple, and Wayve, who have made significant contributions to language models (DeepMind Gemini), video models (DeepMind Veo), world models (Wayve GAIA), and autonomous systems (Tesla FSD).
Odyssey has raised significant venture capital from GV, Amazon, AMD, EQT, NVIDIA, Natural Capital, In-Q-Tel, Elad Gil, Jeff Dean, Guillermo Rauch, Garry Tan, Kyle Vogt, and researchers from OpenAI, DeepMind, MSL, Recursive, and Thinking Machines.
What we're looking for
Odyssey is seeking an Executive Business Partner to our CTO. This is a high-trust, hands-on role for someone who is exceptionally organized, proactive, low-ego, and energized by solving problems. You’ll own the details that keep the CTO operating at his best, while also helping extend his capacity through thoughtful execution and operational support.
You’ll join a frontier AI company across Palo Alto, London, and Zurich. This is a front-row seat to company-building, with the opportunity to have an outsized impact on how the company operates.
What you'll do
Manage the CTO’s calendar, scheduling, travel, and day-to-day logistics across multiple time zones, including board meetings, investor meetings, and high-priority external engagements.
Prepare the CTO for important meetings by ensuring the right people, information, and materials are in place.
Coordinate execution for board meetings, conferences, offsites, dinners, and other high-priority events.
Track commitments and action items, coordinate across teams, and ensure follow-through on priority work.
Take ownership of ambiguous problems and special projects, figuring out what needs to happen and making it happen.
Continuously identify ways to make the CTO’s workflow and the broader organization faster, simpler, and more effective.
Who you are
8+ years of experience in an executive support, executive operations, or similar role, including direct support for a founder, CTO, or C-level executive.
Experience working in a high-growth startup or similarly fast-moving environment.
Exceptional attention to detail, organization, and follow-through.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to adapt to everyone from researchers to investors and board members.
High degree of professionalism, judgment, and discretion.
A strong sense of ownership—when you see a problem, your instinct is to solve it rather than figure out whose job it is.
Comfortable operating with ambiguity, moving quickly, and building lightweight processes where none exist.
Genuine interest in AI and the technology Odyssey is building.
Experience using AI tools to make your own workflows faster, sharper, and more efficient.
Our staff is expected to be in office at least three times a week. A lot of our progress comes from working through problems together, and we want you in the room for that.
