Associate, Product & AI Strategy

Part-time · Remote (EU-based; Vienna AT preferred)

Work directly with experienced product, AI, and go-to-market operators on real client problems, and contribute from week one.

StatsLateral is an operator-led, outcome-based consulting practice. We help growth-stage and enterprise companies turn AI and data into measurable business results. This is not a ticket-management or ceremonies role. You’ll do the analysis, synthesis, and building that sit underneath senior-level decisions.

What you’ll do

• Portfolio analysis: pull and reconcile data from multiple tools; Spot gaps, conflicts, and risks across portfolios of AI and analytics initiatives, and keep the picture current week to week.
• Value and ROI modeling: build and pressure-test business cases. That means benefit levers, cost, ROI, and realized versus estimated value, so the numbers hold up in front of stakeholders.
• Research and sourcing: find the primary source behind every claim or benchmark, and say who produced it and why they might want it to be true.
• Executive materials: turn a storyline into clear slides, memos and one-pagers, and keep versions under control.
• AI-native workflows: design and improve the AI-assisted workflows we use to work faster, and test where agents can take over manual work.
• Strategy support: product-market-fit analysis, user research synthesis, positioning and GTM work across StatsLateral’s own initiatives.

You may be a strong fit if you

• Think in structure and write clearly; a messy spreadsheet bothers you
• Use AI tools every day as a force multiplier, and know where they fail
• Are comfortable with ambiguity and manage yourself
• Bring 1–4 years in consulting, product, strategy, analytics, or a startup, or show us equivalent thinking
• Have professional-level written and spoken English

We care more about thinking quality, ownership, communication and learning velocity than about years of experience.

Role structure

• Part-time (about 5-10 hours a week), with potential to change as per client needs
• Always remote, flexible hours, with afternoon overlap with US Eastern time required.
• Compensation: Competitive; depends on experience
• Working directly with the founders and executives
