Summary:
This is a full-time remote role based in the United States.
What makes this role unique:
• It's landscape intelligence for the CEO. Not operational strategy or business operations. The closest analogy is a senior analyst at a top research firm, but your research flows directly into what Yelp builds and where it invests. You'll have visibility into how leadership navigates opportunities and how competitive dynamics shape company-wide decisions.
• You'll build cumulative domain expertise. This role is about going deep on a landscape and staying close to it over time, not cycling through six-week consulting engagements.
• It's remote and autonomous. You manage your own time and research agenda. You'll have a weekly sync with your lead and regular exposure to the SVP of Strategy and C-suite.
What you'll do:
• Own a competitive landscape domain end-to-end: identify signals, track competitors, and form the basis for a point of view on business impact.
• Produce monthly executive digests covering market trends, competitor updates, and emerging opportunities or threats.
• Answer priority questions from the CEO, sometimes in your domain, sometimes entirely new.
• Work with peer analysts to connect insights across domains and inform operating teams’ roadmaps.
What it takes to succeed:
• You have 4-6+ years of experience in strategy consulting, corporate strategy, equity research, industry analysis, or a research-intensive role at a tech company.
• Bachelor's degree, preferably with a quantitative focus.
• You can synthesize and triangulate multiple sources into one pithy takeaway and impactful visuals that busy execs can understand.
• You're energized by ambiguity. Nobody hands you a methodology; you figure out how to answer questions that don't have obvious answers or data sources.
• You have strong data and analytical skills, comfortable deriving insights from both quantitative and qualitative sources.
• You run multiple threads at once, prioritize what matters most, and adjust as team priorities shift.
• You manage yourself well in a remote environment, flagging blockers early and delivering without being chased.
• You're collaborative and cross-functional. You build strong peer relationships and can hold your own in exec-level conversations.
What you'll get:
• Long term growth opportunities into a leadership position on the Strategy team, or onto an operating team (product, biz ops) where you can apply your strategic lens directly.
• Effective your first day: Full medical, vision, and dental
• 15 days PTO (accrual begins on date of hire and increases with 2+ years of tenure thereafter), 7 paid wellness days, 12 paid holidays, plus one floating holiday
• Up to 14 weeks of parental leave
• Monthly wellness reimbursement
• Health Savings, Flexible Spending and Dependent Care accounts
• 401(k) retirement savings plan with employer match
• Employee stock purchase plan
• Compensation range is $108,000-$183,000 annually. You may also be offered a bonus and benefits.
