Combining execution and strategy, Our Strategy and Business Operations (BizOps) team work on high impact and high priority projects across Open. This requires an extremely high performing generalist capable of taking complex, multi-dimensional problems, coming up with solutions and executing them across the business.

About Open
Say hello to insurance that works wonders. At Open, we're on a mission to provide the best insurance experiences, at the best price, for the world. Insurance is one of the world's least digitally mature industries - for years it's remained confusing, paper-based and heavily intermediated. We launched in 2016 to build a global, AI-powered platform that digitises the entire insurance process, making it transparent, less costly and more reliable.

Our team thrive on solving problems to revolutionise insurance and have a ‘no excusesʼ attitude when it comes to putting our customers first. We have a high performing team and an open and enabling culture that attracts the best creative and critical thinkers. Join us and letʼs build the future of insurance together.

About The Role
We created the BizOps team at Open to assist in defining and driving, operational and organisational improvements across Open. It operates like an internal consulting group that works on a range of critical projects and issues and sees them through to implementation.

What you'll be doing:

• Optimise and create bulletproof processes across all areas of Open
• Helping answer strategic questions such as our operating model, new products and markets
• Performing analysis on our operations, and driving insight to help us optimise various parts of our business
• Owning projects that will enable us to expand operationally into new international markets

Requirements

• Bachelor degree or higher
• Problem solving skills - you're able to see complex problems, break them down and solve them in a logical and analytical way
• Clear communication skills - you're able to clearly articulate your thoughts to stakeholders at all levels
• Transparent - you challenge respectfully, share insights freely and own your mistakes‍
• Passionate - you've got high energy to build a leading insurance company
• Resilient - you can stay collected and remain effective at all times
• Focused - you can keep your eyes on the prize, even when there are a million competing priorities
• A high achiever - you've always been able to generate success

You'll be expected to work autonomously and with teams. You will be expected to get things done, and be able to point to your impact.

You'll have some (but not necessarily all) of the experiences described here:
You have ~1-2 years of experience at a top-tier management consulting firm, engineering firm, law firm or investment bank with a proven bias to execution

~1-2 years of experience in a similar Business Operations role at a high growth startup


Why Open?
It's an exciting time to join Open Technology Services AU and be part of a tech company going through a hyper-growth phase. We provide our team with:

• Highly competitive compensation, including share options - we believe in paying people what they're worth and having everyone in our company share in our success
• High levels of autonomy and trust so you can do your best work
• Growth opportunities internally - as you grow, your role can too
• Flexible working - we are about impact, not time at your desk. We encourage freedom and responsibility, including the ability to work from anywhere
• Annual allowance for professional development - use it towards a gym membership, professional coaching, a conference. Whatever matters most to you

We're proud to be an equal opportunity employer that celebrates diversity and are committed to providing an inclusive environment for all employees.

Lastly, Open is a high-performing team that strives to achieve brilliant things every day and we encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't exactly match the job description. We're looking for people who are intellectually curious, courageous, innovative and passionate. Our culture is truly open, we're continuously challenging each other to live our values, and aren't afraid to raise questions when we fall short. Most importantly, Open is for those that want to create change and have an impact. If that sounds like you, apply for this role and let's build the future of insurance together.

Who are we?

Lyka is an Australian founded pet wellness company that’s shaking up an outdated industry and paving the way for happier, healthier pets. Despite medical advancements, animal lifespans are on the decline. Today, the average pet only reaches 37% of their full potential lifespan and statistics have shown us that many suffer from dental disease, cancer, and obesity. Simply put, the status quo is not enough.

As humans, we’ve experienced firsthand the positive impact fresh wholefoods can have on our health and wellbeing, and we believe our furry friends deserve the same. We're on a mission to do just that, starting with nutritionally balanced, wholefood meals delivered direct to doors around Australia. As the world’s most sustainable pet wellness company, we’re putting pets and our planet first — one bowl at a time.

Today, we are proud to share we’ve served almost 30 million meals to puppers and their parents across Australia, and this is just the beginning. Our vision is to create multiple nutritional products, adding disease prevention meals and supplements, and expand into new markets.

Currently, we have a team of 200+ pet-obsessed and we're continuing to grow (yes, looking at you!). These carefully selected people are dedicated to building the next generation of technology and products to help empower pet parents to take control over their pet’s wellbeing.

To date, we have raised over $60M in funding from venture capital investors and pet industry insiders, who believe in our mission and ability to drive change in a stagnant industry, providing nutrition that nourishes puppers from the inside out.

Are you ready to shake things up and give pets the life they deserve? Come join our pack!

Our Mission

The time we share with our pets is being cut short. Despite medical advancements, they’re getting sicker earlier. They’re dying prematurely. The industry has it backwards — prioritising treating symptoms instead of addressing the root cause. That’s where we come in.

At Lyka, we take a preventative, holistic and personalised approach to pet care. We look at the full picture, factoring in the diet, lifestyle and environment of each individual animal.

We don’t stop at symptoms, instead we dig for the root cause. We create nutrition plans unique to each pet, because it’s not just about living longer, but living well too.

Our mission is to double the average lifespan of dogs and cats by 2050.

The Team

We're on a mission to double the lifespan of our pets, and we need you to help discover the way as the Associate Product Manager - Research in our Research and Development Team. 

Who is this for? Are you an adept strategist with a background in top-tier management consultancy or high growth start-up, looking to work in the business of science?
