• 5+ years in real-estate development, refurbishment or construction project management in Italy.
• Proven track record delivering residential or mixed-use projects on budget and on schedule.
• Solid network of contractors, architects and suppliers.

• Strategic conversation : walk us through how you would structure and execute our first refurbishment project.
• Final meeting with co-founders → equity offer.
