The Role
Every growing company depends on two things working quietly in the background: people being hired, paid, and supported properly, and money being spent carefully and accounted for accurately. In this role, you’ll own both.
As Operations Manager for Talent & Finance, you’ll be based in our Milan office and report directly to our VP of Operations. You’ll make sure new colleagues have a smooth start, that payroll is right every single month, and that leadership always has a clear picture of where our money goes. Just as importantly,
you’ll have the freedom to improve how things work as we continue to scale across five cities.
This role is a great fit for someone who takes pride in getting the details right, enjoys being the person others rely on, and wants genuine ownership rather than a narrow list of tasks.
