仕事内容Job description As a leader in a growth-stage company, Yaqumo is recruiting a VP of Strategy & Operations who will serve as a partner to the executive team and lead the resolution of important business and organizational challenges.
We expect you to go beyond analyzing given themes or managing the progress of decided measures. You will turn problems that are not yet well organized into challenges to be solved and executable projects, and deliver results. You will gather information yourself, organize issues and options, support executive decision-making, and drive execution and establishment while involving relevant departments.
The scope covers a wide range, from business planning and fundraising to capital investment, procurement, and subsidy projects that support R&D, and the building of operational infrastructure as the organization expands. This is a position not confined to a specific department or function, leading themes according to management priorities from problem definition through to resolution.

Together with the executive team, you will set the themes to tackle and their priorities. As the person responsible for promoting your assigned themes, you will lead the identification and structuring of issues, the development of solutions, and their execution and establishment. Beyond planning and proposals, you will personally engage in necessary hands-on work and drive resolution together with relevant departments.

① Formulating investment and funding plans based on R&D plans
Based on R&D milestones, organize the necessary capital investment, procurement, and budgets along with their priorities, and promote the formulation of business and funding plans.
Support capital policy formulation and fundraising, and in coordination with R&D teams, promote large-scale NEDO and other commissioned projects from application through project-level budget management and execution, to reporting and on-site inspection response.

② Identifying and resolving management issues to realize the business plan
Establish KPI and budget-versus-actual management mechanisms, and clarify issues and their causes that hinder achievement of the plan, together with the status of each department.
Take responsibility for designing and running management meeting agendas, organize the effects, costs, and risks of countermeasures, and propose them to the executive team. After decisions are made, involve relevant departments and promote implementation of measures and verification of results.

③ Building management functions and operational infrastructure needed for growth
With business and organizational expansion in view, organize issues in procurement, information systems, and internal operations, and design priorities for development as well as the necessary structures and business processes.
Lead the establishment, operation, and settling-in of operational infrastructure through initiatives such as developing purchasing processes for quotes, contracts, and acceptance inspections; selecting and introducing SaaS; building account management and security systems; systematizing attendance, expense reimbursement, and approval (ringi) workflows; and updating regulations and rules.
応募資格Requirement Experience independently driving business, management, and organizational issues from current-state assessment and issue structuring through solution design and implementation.
The ability to structure issues based on quantitative and qualitative information and propose options and recommended directions needed for decision-making to management and business leaders.
Experience building consensus among multiple departments and stakeholders with differing positions and driving cross-functional initiatives and projects.
Candidates with the above experience in corporate planning, business planning, or business promotion at operating companies are welcome, not limited to consulting firm experience.

[Preferred requirements]
The ability to gather information on one's own, form hypotheses, and concretize what should be done even in situations where the issues and approach are not clear.
Able to consider solutions for the company as a whole while understanding the circumstances and constraints of both management and the front lines, holding both perspectives.
Able to go beyond proposals and documentation into areas outside one's specialty and into necessary hands-on work, and persistently drive problems through to resolution.
