Account Manager – Italy Department: Sales EMEA
Employment Type: Tempo pieno
Location: Italy
Reporting To: Sales Director - NEM
Description Imagine being the first person to bring real-time production data and manufacturing intelligence to Italian manufacturers — building the market from the ground up, not stepping into one already running.
This is a rare opportunity: the chance to be Factbird's founding Account Manager in Italy, opening a brand-new market for us and shaping how manufacturers across the country think about production data, from the very first conversation you have.
The Role As our first Account Manager in Italy, you won't be growing an existing book of business — you'll be creating one. This is true market-building: identifying who to talk to, opening doors that have never been opened, and laying the foundation for everything Factbird becomes in Italy. This includes:
Identifying, opening, and nurturing new customer relationships from scratch, in a market where Factbird is not yet known
Building a strong and healthy sales pipeline of net new opportunities from zero
Understanding operational challenges within manufacturing environments
Guiding prospects from first conversation to signed, long-term partnership
You will be the driving force behind our entry into Italy — the person whose work defines how Factbird is perceived and whether we succeed in this market. It is for someone who gets real energy from building something new, who thrives on prospecting and winning trust with manufacturers with no existing brand recognition to lean on, who is genuinely comfortable selling software solutions such as Manufacturing Intelligence, MES, or MOM platforms into complex industrial environments, and who doesn't think twice about being on the road to make that happen.
You'll be part of our Central European team, reporting to the Sales Director for the CEM region, collaborating closely with colleagues across the wider Central Europe footprint while owning and building your accounts across Italy as our first local presence there.
Key Responsibilities Establish and grow the Italian manufacturing market from the ground up
Build and manage a strong outbound pipeline




Prospect strategically through outreach, networking, and industry events
Lead value-driven discovery conversations
Run tailored product demonstrations
Own negotiations and close deals Establish Factbird as a trusted, credible partner across Italy—starting from zero brand awareness
Collaborate with Customer Success, Product, and Marketing
Travel regularly across Italy—and occasionally further afield—to meet customers on-site, attend industry events, and build genuine relationships face-to-face
About you You are commercially confident, structured, and relationship driven. You combine initiative with empathy — you are comfortable opening doors and building pipelines from nothing, and you do it through credibility, preparation, and genuine curiosity.
You are energized by the idea of being first: first to knock on a door, first to explain what Factbird does, first to shape how an entire market experiences the brand. You take ownership of your region and are motivated by building sustainable partnerships rather than short-term wins. You enjoy autonomy, but you also value collaboration and being part of a supportive, cross-border team. Regular travel is part of what makes this role rewarding for you, not a downside of it.
Requirements Experience in full-cycle B2B sales Experience selling software solutions into manufacturing, industrial, or technical B2B environments—ideally Manufacturing Intelligence, MES, MOM, or similar production-focused platforms.
Proven ability to build and develop pipeline proactively, ideally with experience opening new markets or territories
Comfortable with regular travel across Italy and occasionally internationally
Experience with CRM systems
