Hi! We are Liven. We develop a global ecosystem of products that help people gain self-observability and steer away from negative thoughts, patterns, and behaviors on their personal journey.

Inside our ecosystem:

  • Self-discovery companion — an app that helps 2.5M users build a deeper relationship with themselves. It’s a space for self-exploration through AI coaching, mood trackers, sound practices, and bite-sized learning.
  • Online Coaching — sessions with certified experts to navigate complex life situations.
  • Supplements — for physical recovery and bodily support.

Liven is a company for the curious. We are driven by curiosity — an inner need to ask questions, dig deeper, and never stop in the face of the unknown. We are passionate about creating products and solutions that truly help. Our entire culture of experimentation exists to find better ways to support and guide people on their self-discovery journey.

We are looking for a Business Associate at Liven. In this role, you will turn data into strategic decisions that drive growth and margin directly alongside our founders and leadership team.

🎯 HOW WILL YOU MAKE AN IMPACT?

  • Work directly with founders and top management, translating data into strategic decisions that move the P&L, not just slide decks
  • Own the full analytics lifecycle — from raw data to business recommendation — using internal metrics and external benchmarks to identify growth levers and margin opportunities
  • Independently identify and launch initiatives that improve efficiency, unit economics, and profitability
  • Conduct systematic competitive and market analysis to uncover new growth and monetization opportunities
  • Build business cases and analytical frameworks that directly shape strategic decisions — and take ownership of seeing them through
  • Drive strategic initiatives end-to-end, measuring progress against concrete business and margin outcomes

🧩 WHAT MAKES YOU A PERFECT FIT?

  • 3-5 years of experience in strategic consulting, investment banking, Private Equity, Venture Capital, or corporate finance
  • Strong analytical skills: experience conducting market research, competitive analysis, financial modeling, and preparing data-driven recommendations
  • Hands-on experience using AI tools for research, workflow automation, and improving the efficiency of analytical work
  • Genuine interest in seeing the big picture — working across multiple cross-functional contexts and understanding how every part of the business operates and connects
  • High ownership, high standards, and a track record of delivering high-quality results — holding yourself and others to that same bar

🌱 EVEN BETTER IF YOU:

  • Experience independently managing strategic projects end-to-end — from problem definition to implementation (full ownership)
  • Experience in Investor Relations, preparing investor materials, or supporting investment transactions (M&A, fundraising)
  • Experience with SQL, Python, or BI tools

💪🏻WHAT WILL YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT BEING AT LIVEN?

  • Culture of Curiosity: a place for explorers who embrace the unknown and achieve stellar results even when there’s no playbook.
  • Growth through Impact: your professional evolution is directly tied to the value you bring to the product and the business.
  • Global Impact: develop a product that supports the mental well-being of millions of users worldwide every day.
  • Trust and Ownership: the freedom to act, coupled with high responsibility for the outcome.
  • Expert Community: access to professional clubs, specialized training, a knowledge base, and a library for your continuous learning.
  • Space for Focus: autonomous offices in Kyiv and Warsaw with breakfasts, lunches, lounge areas, walking pads, and massage chairs.
  • Sports Community: a running club, yoga, boxing, rock climbing, and functional training to keep you energized.
  • Medical Insurance and a stable social package.
  • Well-being Program: We care about the mental health of our team as much as we care about our users.
  • Support during the war: we provide conditions for stable work and contribute to Ukraine's recovery together.

Still on Day 1: A Constant Expedition

We’ve reached a scale we’re proud of, but inside, we keep the "Day 1" spirit — constantly asking questions, testing hypotheses, and adapting to new contexts. If you are driven by new challenges and want to empower the team with your vision, let’s connect.

Fuel your curiosity at Liven 🔎
