Odin might even know entirely what's going on, and support Hild's efforts, but has never gotten around to actually telling anyone because his own job and life are crazy busy. And/or because he's got his own blinders and thinks it's obvious to anyone who looks at what she's doing
Hrmmm.... that or they just kept it a secret between the two of them, thus helping to maintain the new status quo - they openly regard each other as adversaries, and it takes on a flavor that is uncannily like the Cold War between USA and USSR - complete with a hotline between Odin and Hild (just saying - it makes sense that there would be one).  But behind closed doors, they're using that hotline to make sure the two of them are on the same page.
