Key Responsibilities
- Support CEO & Finance team with budgeting, cashflow tracking, scenario modelling.
- Run the operating rhythm end‑to‑end: weekly exec, monthly business reviews, quarterly OKRs, systematic blocker removal.
- Lead 2–3 cross‑functional “tiger team” projects each quarter (e.g., redesign hiring funnel, cut onboarding time from 10 → 5 days).
- Standardise onboarding/offboarding, performance reviews, and L&D in partnership with People Ops.
- Build unified dashboards and maintain clear, up‑to‑date process documentation.
- Own board‑pack narrative, investor communications, and due‑diligence data rooms.
Required Skills & Experience
- 4–8 years in strategy consulting, business operations, investment banking, or product/ops roles in high‑growth environments.
- Proven track record in running cross‑functional projects with measurable impact.
- Strong analytical capability: advanced Excel/G‑Sheets, basic SQL/BI, fast modelling and slide‑building.
- Fluency in Italian and English.
- High trust, low ego; able to manage confidential information and challenge leaders constructively.
Nice‑to‑have

- Familiarity with service‑delivery KPIs and partner workflows.
- Knowledge of Notion, Airtable, Looker/Metabase, Asana/Jira, Deel.
- Exposure to board or investor reporting.
What success looks like
- Founders recover 20+ hours/week for vision, product, and fundraising.

- Hiring and onboarding cycle time drops by 30% without increasing headcount.
- Revenue and margin forecasting accuracy within ±10% each quarter.
Compensation & Growth
