  • Craft and deliver compelling proposals, decks, and pricing structures tailored to each prospect

  • Negotiate contract terms and close new business

  • Represent Odyssey at industry events, conferences, and networking opportunities to build brand awareness and generate leads

  • Work closely with leadership to refine positioning, pricing, and go-to-market strategy based on market feedback

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; confident presenting to founders and executives

  • Self-starter who can operate independently and build a book of business with minimal hand-holding

  • Can-do attitude is a must; this is a start-up that requires you to wear many hats and deal with a certain level of day-to-day uncertainty

Compensation and Benefits:

  • $85,000 - $140,000 total compensation range

  • Flexible PTO

  • Fully remote

  • 100% employer-sponsored health benefits
