Explore the Odoo specialism
What is Odoo?
Odoo is the most cost competitive of the major mid market ERPs, and its customer base keeps growing worldwide, from small businesses right up to the upper mid market. It is built in Python, and the frontend runs on OWL (Odoo Web Library), which has been the standard since Odoo 16 and 17. The platform is modular. Accounting, inventory, manufacturing, CRM, e-commerce, HR and dozens of other apps can be switched on as a business needs them. Recent releases, Odoo 18 and 19, have also pushed AI features deeper into everyday workflows. The open source and Enterprise split suits growth stage companies well. One thing we see all the time: some of the best Odoo developers come from outside ERP altogether. Clients who insist on prior ERP experience shrink their own shortlist for no good reason. That is the real constraint in this market.

Who hires Odoo specialists
Odoo Gold and Silver Partners
They handle most of the UK and US implementation work. Roles are project based, so you will work with several clients in a year. The usual career path runs Functional Consultant, Senior, Lead, then Practice Manager. Upgrade and migration projects are also keeping partners busy, as older versions reach the end of support.
End user customers
Small and growth stage businesses in every sector hire functional consultants, Python developers, administrators and lead architects to own the platform in house.

Frequently asked questions
What does an Odoo consultant do?
They set up Odoo to match how a business actually works. That means gathering requirements, configuring modules, testing with the client and training the team to use the system. Some also write small customisations.

Mid level Odoo Functional Consultants earn around £42,000 to £58,000 in 2026. Practice leads can reach £85,000 to £120,000.
Why do Odoo Python developers earn more than functional consultants?
Good Odoo developers are hard to find. They need Python, the ORM and OWL skills, and few people have all three. Senior ones usually earn 15 to 20% more than functional only consultants.
Where are the best Odoo jobs?
Mostly at Odoo Gold and Silver Partners, where you work on different client projects every year. Growth stage companies that run Odoo in house are the other good option, especially if you want to own one platform long term.
Do I need ERP experience to get an Odoo job?
Not always. Many strong Odoo developers come from outside ERP, especially Python backgrounds. Employers who insist on ERP experience often miss good candidates.
