About the team

Yanisa Execution is an AI acceleration and consulting company focused on helping businesses leverage AI, automation, technology, and growth strategies to accelerate their execution.

We work closely with founders, leadership teams, and enterprises to identify opportunities, build solutions, improve processes, and drive measurable business outcomes.

We are looking for a high-calibre Founder’s Office professional who can work directly with the Founder across business development, strategy, analytics, project management, and client relationships.

About the role

This is a high-ownership, high-impact role for someone who enjoys working across multiple functions and wants to understand how a business is built and scaled.

You will work closely with the Founder on strategic initiatives, business development, client management, sales, analytics, and execution.

You will be expected to move seamlessly between a client meeting, a sales pipeline, a business analysis, a project tracker, and a strategic discussion with the Founder.

This is not a role for someone looking for a narrowly defined job description.

We are looking for someone who can think, analyse, sell, execute, and own outcomes.

  • 3. Business Analytics & Data
  • * Analyse business, sales, marketing, and operational data.
  • * Build and maintain dashboards and reports.
  • * Translate raw data into actionable business insights.
  • * Track KPIs and identify trends, gaps, and opportunities.

  • * Own and coordinate cross-functional projects from planning to execution.
  • * Create project plans, timelines, trackers, and milestones.
  • * Coordinate with internal teams, clients, and external stakeholders.
  • * Ensure deliverables are completed on time and to the expected quality.
  • * Identify risks, dependencies, and execution bottlenecks.
  • * Maintain strong follow-up discipline across projects.
  • 5. Client Relationship Management
  • * Act as a key point of contact for strategic clients.
  • * Understand client requirements, expectations, and business objectives.
  • * Coordinate internally to ensure client deliverables are executed effectively.
  • * Conduct regular follow-ups and status updates.
  • * Identify opportunities for upselling, cross-selling, and deeper engagement.

About this role

A strategic client is unhappy because a project is delayed by two weeks. The internal team says the delay isn't their fault, while the client is demanding an explanation. What would you do?
If I asked you to generate ₹1 crore of new business for Yanisa over the next 6 months, how would you approach it?
If I gave you Yanisa’s sales data for the last 12 months—leads, meetings, proposals, closures, revenue and salesperson-wise performance—what would you analyse first?
Imagine I give you five priorities at the same time, all of which I consider important. How would you decide what to work on first, and how would you keep me updated?
Imagine I tell you that Yanisa’s sales pipeline looks healthy, but actual closures have dropped significantly. How would you diagnose the problem?
Tell me about a situation where you were given a problem or objective without a clearly defined process. How did you figure out what needed to be done and drive it to completion?
What do you think the difference is between someone who works for the Founder and someone who works with the Founder in a Founder’s Office?
