Strategy & Operations Associate

Hybrid / Remote (EU)

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.

• 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

• 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 Master’s 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

• Opportunities for professional development and growth
• Dynamic and collaborative work environment
• Cutting‑edge software and hardware platforms
• Ownership & Autonomy – we give you the space to lead, experiment, and make decisions; we don’t micromanage.
• Growth Culture – you won’t be static. We support your learning with coaching, resources, and exposure to new challenges.
• Stable & Ethical – we operate with transparency, accountability, and financial responsibility. No surprises, no hollow promises.
• Belonging & Diversity – we believe diversity of background, thought, and experience makes us stronger. We strive for an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive.
• Long‑Term Vision – we plan and invest for the long run: in the business, in our people, and in our community.
• We’re committed to creating an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive.
• You’ll contribute directly to projects that matter — where users, clients, or communities see real benefit.
