About Us

We are a Machine Learning and Computer Vision startup founded in 2020, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with an AI Lab in Milan, Italy.

Our expertise spans Machine Learning and Generative AI for financial services and Computer Vision for life sciences.

At Gemmo AI, we build custom AI solutions that combine automation with human insight. We use a modular approach: first we explore the highest-impact opportunities, then we design and deploy tailored solutions, and finally we help improve and maintain them over time.

We believe in responsible, pragmatic AI: systems that integrate into real workflows, provide measurable value, and remain under your control.

About the Role

We are looking for an Account Manager to join our team and act as the bridge between our clients and our technical teams.

You will play a key role in managing client relationships, understanding their needs, and ensuring the successful delivery of AI projects from inception to completion.

In this role, you will be responsible for organizing and facilitating sprints, managing long-term project plans, gathering and writing both technical and non-technical requirements, and coordinating closely with Machine Learning and Engineering teams to turn those requirements into real solutions.

You will also lead retrospectives and demos, contribute to project proposals and RFPs, and ensure alignment across all project stakeholders.

Strong communication skills in both Italian and English, as well as familiarity with agile project management tools (e.g., Jira), are essential.

This position can be based in our Milan office or performed remotely from Italy.

Compensation

• Full-time contract (tempo indeterminato);
• Up to 40k€ RAL, depending on experience;
• Yearly bonus based on KPIs fulfilment.
