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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
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.
