Descrizione del lavoro

MD / CEO New Ventures

Location: Italy

Salary: Competitive

We are collaborating with one of Europe’s top curated marketplaces, connecting people to unforgettable real-life experiences through gifting.

The company is embarking on an ambitious new growth journey. In addition to its core offering, it is launching innovative ventures that redefine how people discover, book, and enjoy experiences. These initiatives aim to tap into emerging markets, introduce new formats, and build digital-first models that bring people closer to what truly matters: living fully, feeling deeply, and sharing more.

What you'll be doing:

In a nutshell, you'll be responsible for building everything! This includes:

• The strategy
• The product concept
• The go-to-market approach
• The team
• Operations

From day one, you will have full ownership of this venture, with the autonomy to shape, build, and grow a high-potential business. Your mandate is to validate the opportunity, launch the product, and scale rapidly—leveraging the backing and resources of a leading European experience platform.

You’ll operate as both founder and CEO—thinking ambitiously, starting lean, moving quickly, and taking full responsibility for every decision. You’ll collaborate closely with senior leadership to challenge assumptions, harness synergies, and build a business that has the potential to redefine its category.

What we are looking for:

• 7+ years of experience in entrepreneurship, general management, or early-stage leadership.
• A true builder with a founder mindset—driven, resourceful, and relentlessly focused on execution.
• Experience in launching or scaling digital businesses, e-commerce platforms, or marketplaces.
• An ambitious maverick—thinking differently, acting independently, and thriving outside the usual playbooks.
• Background in experience gifts, travel, leisure, or related consumer platforms is a strong plus.
• Fluent in English (additional European languages are a bonus).
• Thrives in ambiguity and loves the “zero to one” journey.
