Do you want to join us on the journey of disrupting the spend management business? Do you like to work in a fast-paced scale-up with a passionate and supportive team? Yokoy is hiring!
After closing our $80M Series B funding last year and going through a hyper growth phase, we are now striving to lead the tech-focused transformation in our field and become the number 1 all-in-one spend management suite for midsize and enterprise companies. Join us as our new Strategy & Operations Manager in Vienna and help us achieve our goals! \uD83D\uDE80
As a Strategy & Operations Manager you will play a crucial role in creating and executing our strategy whilst optimizing the inner works of Yokoy. Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer (COO), you will be responsible for a broad range of tasks, spanning from strategic planning to hands-on operational execution. This is an excellent opportunity to become part of the action with immediate impact and avoid corporate rigidity and boredom. You get the chance to learn the ins and outs of running a fast-growing, top-tier-VC-backed scale-up. The steep and challenging learning curve will ultimately enable you to take a leading position in a dynamic environment.
\uD83E\uDDD1\uD83C\uDFFD\uD83D\uDCBB What you'll do (aside from the many things we cannot even foresee yet):
- You will collaborate closely with the COO and the entire Group Executive team to deploy the company's strategic initiatives, ensuring alignment and securing results across the company.
- Business Development: You will monitor industry trends, competitive landscape, and market dynamics and conduct in-depth analyses to provide strategic recommendations on key business areas.
- You will drive cross-functional projects and initiatives to improve Yokoy's ways of working to ensure scalability across the board, acting as a liaison between different teams to achieve company-wide objectives.
- You will help foster a culture of continuous improvement and innovation, driving operational excellence initiatives and promoting best practices across the organization.
- You will actively participate in the development and implementation of the company's annual operating plan.
- You will facilitate the leadership dialogue with the Board of Directors and other relevant external stakeholders with relevant agendas and insights.
- You will create and implement a mid-term plan to help steer the company towards our next funding round and help to create and convey our fantastic equity story towards Investors.
And as If this was not enough yet:
- You will act as deputy to the COO to drive divisional projects and support the entire COO team to resolve day-to-day challenges swiftly, sustainably and with high quality.
- ️ What you’ll need:
- You bring at least 2 years of experience working in a top-tier management consulting firm or a similar environment, with a proven track record of delivering both strategic and operational projects.
- You are a natural problem solver with a strong drive for results, capable of thinking critically, analyzing complex issues, and developing pragmatic solutions.
- You have the ability to identify and independently drive initiatives with only little guidance, considering the context of our organization and business.
- You have the aptitude to resolve challenges in areas where you have little domain know-how.
- Your outstanding interpersonal skills enable you to engage effectively with stakeholders at every level of the organization, from executive leadership to cross-functional teams and external partners.
- You are eager to learn, adapt and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with the self-expectation to create results from week one.
- You embody positivity, a strong work ethic, stress resilience, and a risk-seeking mindset, which drive you to confront challenges directly and surpass conventional boundaries.
- You possess outstanding English communication skills, both verbal and written, allowing you to articulate complex ideas with clarity and conciseness.
\uD83D\uDE80 What you’ll get:
- Resources and trust: you own your work and can shape things from day one
- Flat hierarchies: opportunity to work closely with the founders and the leadership team
- Fast-paced environment: quickly measure and learn about the impact of your work
- Flexibility: everyone has their own highly productive times - we look at the output and not at what time it was produced
- Hybrid setup: we enjoy in-person sessions, but we have also learned (thank you Covid) how to be efficient with remote working
- Competitive scale-up package with the possibility to partake in the upside
- Work anywhere: we offer up to 6 weeks remote work within the EU
We are keen to get to know you. Apply with your CV and/or LinkedIn profile and a few words on why you would like to join Yokoy. We look forward to your application!
\uD83D\uDC49\uD83C\uDFFD What’s going to happen next: we aim to get back to you regarding your application within 8 business days. Our interview process tends to take around 4 weeks to complete. If you need more flexibility or are on a tighter schedule, don’t be afraid to let us know.
