Descrizione del lavoro

Agile Lab is a company founded in 2014 with the mission to create value for its customers in data-intensive environments through customisable solutions that establish performance-driven processes, sustainable architectures and automated platforms based on data governance best practices.

Having delivered over 100 successful Elite Data Engineering initiatives, we have used this experience to create Witboost: a modular, technology-agnostic platform that enables modern organisations to discover, value and produce their data in both traditional environments and fully compliant Data Mesh architectures.

With a highly skilled team of over 260 data engineers based in Europe, Agile Lab helps organisations with their data-driven transformation.

Take a look at our handbook to discover our core values and processes.

We’re a team of innovators, passionate “nerds,” and problem solvers. To continue growing, we’re looking for strategic thinkers who can help us shape the future of our business.

💼The opportunity:

We’re looking for a curious, entrepreneurial, and strategically minded professional to identify new growth opportunities, build meaningful partnerships, and design innovative business models in the fields of data engineering and AI.

You’ll be part of our Business Development & Strategy team, working closely with leadership to evolve our offerings, shape new products, and strengthen relationships with clients and partners.

This is not a sales role: we’re looking for a strategic partner who can read the market, define and communicate our value proposition, and guide the company’s growth trajectory. You’ll act as a bridge between our deep technical expertise and real market needs, helping to craft the products and services that will define our next evolution.

If you have a strong strategic mindset, a natural curiosity for emerging technologies, and the ability to translate complexity into opportunity, we’d love to hear from you.

• Market strategy & analysis: study the data management and AI markets to identify emerging trends, analyze competitors, and discover new business opportunities.
• Offer definition: work closely with technical teams to structure and position our service offerings, translating technological capabilities into clear, market-ready solutions.
• New product development: support the ideation and validation of new product and business lines, managing business plans and go-to-market strategies.
• Partnership & business development: identify and assess potential strategic collaborations with tech companies, startups, and industrial partners.
• Strategic project management: manage complex, cross-functional projects, ensuring alignment across teams and achievement of business objectives.
• Effective communication: create presentations, business cases, and strategic documents to clearly communicate our vision and initiatives both internally and externally.

👀What we are looking for:

• Degree in Economics, Engineering, or Scientific disciplines
• Experience in strategic consulting, business development, or similar roles in tech/digital environments
• Strong analytical and strategic thinking skills with a business-oriented mindset
• Experience managing complex projects and relationships with internal and external stakeholders
• Excellent communication skills, both written and visual (presentations, decks, reports)
• Curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit, with a hands‑on attitude and willingness to experiment
• Team Player
• Eager to learn
• Knowledge of Italian language is required

⚡️ What we consider a plus:

• Knowledge or strong interest in Data Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, or digital services
• Experience in service design, innovation, or product strategy
• Previous experience defining commercial offerings for complex services (e.g., system integration, IT consulting)
• A “nerdy” attitude— genuine passion for technology and curiosity about how things work
• Interest in startups and venture building

🤔 Why join us:

• You’ll collaborate directly with the leadership team on high-impact strategic projects
• You’ll have real autonomy and responsibility in a flexible, results-oriented environment
• You’ll be part of a fast-growing company expanding into AI and digital product development
• You’ll have the chance to actively shape the future of Agile Lab

If you recognize yourself in this description - even partially - and are excited by the idea of combining strategy, innovation, and technology, don’t hesitate to apply.

We want to meet bright minds who bring a fresh perspective. We’re more interested in how you think than in what’s written on your degree.

• Real work life balance;
• Training monthly budget (time and money);

• Inclusive environment where you can be who you really are;
• Stimulating environment oriented to growth, both professional and personal.

😊How we work:

• We don't like hierarchies: we work as a team;
• We don't like bureaucracies, we prefer sense of responsibility;
• We like data, certainly, so anything that is measurable;
• We want to make a positive change in our industry;
• Empathy, humility, collaboration, and willingness to challenge ourselves are the basis of our work.
