Strategy & Operations Associate

yasp is building the future of software development: a compiler that uses agentic AI for advanced optimization and code generation. We are a deep-tech company scaling fast where priorities shift week over week and the work rarely comes pre-defined. We are looking for a Strategy & Operations Associate to keep the company moving as one system: turning leadership decisions into execution and making sure the right things advance fast and with clarity.

This is a hands-on individual-contributor role. You will work directly with the CEO and the Director Finance & Operations. You will not manage a team. You own outcomes yourself and you are expected to go beyond the brief rather than wait for one. If you want autonomy ownership and a front-row seat in a fast-scaling AI company this is for you.

Tasks

• Translate leadership decisions into clear actions owners and timelines
• Own the operating cadence: planning cycles check-ins and follow-ups
• Coordinate execution across business and technical teams
• Take ambiguous cross-functional problems and drive them to a result end to end
• Identify bottlenecks risks and misalignment early and surface them clearly
• Reduce friction and keep priorities moving forward week over week

Requirements

• Top-tier strategy consulting experience (e.g. MBB or a Big-4 strategy practice) combined with hands-on experience in a startup or VC. We want both not one or the other.
• 2-5 years of total experience
• Strong academic record; a Masters degree is a plus
• A self-directed operator who thrives on autonomy and high ownership: you move things forward without being told how
• Ambitious and hands-on willing to go the extra mile
• Comfortable with ambiguity and incomplete information
• Clear communicator who follows through

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Opportunities for professional development and growth
• Flexible work hours
• Dynamic and collaborative work environment
• Cutting-edge software and hardware platforms
