Who hires Odoo people, what each role does, how they're paid, and what job adverts really ask for.

- Six roles and what they do
- What job adverts actually reward
Key points
- Partners, Odoo S.A., in-house teams and app vendors all hire

- Techno-functional = full consulting + controlled technical work
- Adverts pair app breadth with Python/XML/ORM, SQL, APIs and Git
Real-world example
A Lagos partner's delivery team of five runs three projects at once: a project manager, two functional consultants (one strong in accounting), one techno-functional consultant who handles QWeb invoices, imports and small automations, and one developer for integrations. When the developer is on leave, the techno-functional consultant keeps tickets moving because she can read the custom modules and logs.
