Co-lead a consumer app entering hyper-growth 🚀

You know those early days that everyone always says were the best? When there was more creativity than bureaucracy? More joy of creation than middle manager empire building? That's where we are at Yepstr. 17 employees, 600% YoY growth and profitability within reach.

We are growing rapidly and we are now looking for a COO 🫵

We have reached the stage where our CEO Jacob has too much on his agenda and needs a partner in crime. As our COO you will team up with our CEO Jacob and find a suitable division of work. The work mainly revolves around continuously setting and clarifying Vision and Culture through creating artefacts and rituals (aka policies and processes), assisting in fundraising as well as keeping a close dialogue with our Investors but also supporting the business in a more operational manner by setting each quarters' Objectives and Targets. To achieve this we envision you owning the financial side of the business, so our business model our budgets and projections.

About Yepstr 🚀

Yepstr is Sweden's largest platform for simple and safe teenage-jobs like babysitting, tutoring and dog-minding. Our vision is to help 100 million young people to their first jobs by 2030, and in doing that we will help lower youth unemployment and help bridge the gap to adulthood.

We are currently 15 full-time employees, but with all of our Young Entrepreneurs that work via Yepstr every day then we are in fact thousands. We view them all as our colleagues.

What sets us apart? Something we often hear is that at Yepstr we really believe in our team. So you won't find any micro-management here. Second, we also often hear that we're pretty unique in that we don't just talk about doing something good - we actually do. We built Yepstr to help young people take the step into adulthood and that's something we will never let go of.
