K-12 education is one of the most consequential determinants of a child’s future — and many families have had limited ability to shape how and where their child learns. Education Savings Account (ESA) programs along with the Education Freedom Tax Credit are changing that. One of the fastest-growing public education initiatives in the U.S., they give states the ability to put education funding directly in the hands of families, who can then choose the learning experiences that best fit their child — from schools and tutors to therapy, curriculum, and technology.
But once these policies are signed into law, states face an enormous operational challenge. They must stand up entirely new programs, manage the secure and compliant flow of public funds, approve and monitor thousands of vendors, support families at scale, and prevent fraud — all while delivering a high-quality user experience.
That’s where Odyssey comes in.
We partner with state agencies to design, launch, and operate ESA and school choice programs on their behalf. We provide the technology, program operations, vendor ecosystem, and family experience that make these programs actually work in the real world. Today, we operate across 10 states, and our platform powers programs serving 250,000+ students and over $2B in annual education funding — and we’re just getting started.
Most recently, we launched the Texas Education Savings Account (EFA) program — the biggest day-one ESA launch in the country — which has already received nearly 200,000 applications. It’s the kind of moment that captures exactly what we’re building toward: programs that work at scale, from day one, when it matters most.
We’re backed by respected investors, including a16z and Tusk Venture Partners, and we’re building the team that will take us to the next stage.
Odyssey sits at the intersection of GovTech, EdTech, and FinTech. We are a public-sector operator, a technology company, and a program delivery partner all at once. The work we do is civic infrastructure — it determines whether families can access life-changing educational opportunities.
We’re in the weeds with state partners, internally with our product teams, and turning ambiguous policy into real systems that families depend on. This means building a platform that meets each state’s configuration needs while being flexible enough to support all customers. We are not building be-spoke software!
If you want a highly structured environment, this will feel uncomfortable. If you want ownership, speed, and problems that actually matter, you’ll feel right at home.
We're looking for a customer-obsessed, results-driven State Program Support Supervisor to lead the day-to-day operations and performance of our Customer Support team across one to two state programs.
In this role, you'll directly manage a team of 10–15 Support Specialists, ensuring they consistently deliver exceptional customer experiences while meeting operational and program-specific performance expectations. You'll be responsible for coaching and developing your team, managing daily workflows, monitoring key performance metrics, and proactively addressing challenges that could impact our customers or state program operations.
This is a hands-on leadership role that requires strong people management skills, operational discipline, and the ability to make informed decisions in a fast-paced environment. You'll serve as the primary point of accountability for the daily performance of your assigned programs, partnering closely with the Customer Support Manager to execute operational priorities, identify opportunities for improvement, and ensure a seamless support experience for the families we serve.
Odyssey is an equal opportunity employer. Reasonable accommodations are available upon request.
Odyssey is a mission driven company that helps families easily access state funding so that they can attend the school of their choice. We do this by partnering with state agencies to administer school choice programs, such as education savings accounts (ESAs), that enable parents to pay for approved educational expenses like school tuition, tutors, technology, software, and curriculum.
At Odyssey, our technology powers ESA programs that enroll more than 80,000 students and help them access more than $600 million in state funding. In the 2026-2027 school year, Odyssey will enable 235,000 students to receive more than $2 billion in school choice funding.
Sitting at the intersection of tech, government, and education, Odyssey offers potential employees an immediate and substantive impact for students and families. Supported by well known investors and advisors (Katherine Boyle/A16Z/Tusk Venture Partners) Odyssey is gaining traction quickly with ample opportunity for growth. As our team expands, we are looking for top-tier talent to join our mission in driving the future of education forward.
