MVRK is recruiting on behalf of a confidential, high-growth company in advertising technology. In a world moving beyond cookies, the company is building privacy-safe, high-performance advertising for the open internet. Following the acquisition of a leader in immersive Augmented Reality advertising, the business is scaling rapidly as a post‑acquisition scale‑up. Headquartered in Italy with a growing presence in the UK and US, the team is approximately 140 people, backed by leading investors, and on a clear trajectory toward a private‑equity exit in the next 3–5 years.

What The Company Builds

An AI‑powered programmatic curation platform that delivers superior advertising performance by curating high‑quality inventory from 2,000+ direct publishers, complemented by an AR advertising platform that enables brands and agencies to create, distribute, and measure engaging AR campaigns. Together they form a comprehensive toolkit for the next generation of digital advertising.

The role

This is a mandate to build the operational backbone of a future industry leader. Reporting to the Global Head of HR, you will architect people systems, processes, and policies to create a scalable foundation for global growth and future exit readiness. You will operate as a standalone specialist and go‑to expert for HR operations, driving organizational effectiveness across the company. The role is based in Italy and provides a direct succession path to the Global Head of HR.

• Architect rewards: Develop, implement, and manage total rewards across Italy, the UK, and the US, including compensation, benefits, and performance‑based bonuses, ensuring market competitiveness and internal equity.
• Prepare long‑term incentives: Analyze and prepare recommendations for a future employee stock option program aligned with strategic growth goals.
• Ensure compliance: Own, author, and localise HR policies and procedures, ensuring full compliance with Italian labour law while supporting the UK and US entities.
• Drive organisational effectiveness: Partner with senior leadership on post‑acquisition integration, organisational design, and performance management to build a unified, high‑performing global culture.
• Deliver insights: Build and run HR reporting and analytics that equip leadership with actionable people and organisational data.

Skills You’ll Have

• Significant experience in HR operations or HRBP roles, with a track record of building and scaling HR functions in fast‑paced, international environments.
• Deep expertise in Italian labour law, compliance, and HR best practices.
• Demonstrated success selecting and implementing an HRIS or other core HR technology.
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to convert data into actionable business insights.
• Excellent project management skills and high autonomy.
• Business‑fluent English and Italian.

Nice to have

• Experience with post‑merger or acquisition integration.
• Working knowledge of UK and/or US employment law.
• Background in technology, adtech, or SaaS.
• Experience preparing an organisation for a private equity or venture capital round or exit.

What You’ll Get

• A highly competitive salary and benefits package.
• A significant annual performance‑based bonus up to 25%.
• A clear, accelerated path to become the next Global Head of HR.
• The autonomy, resources, and leadership support to build a best‑in‑class function.
• Regular travel between Milan and Pisa (approximately bi‑weekly) to stay connected with core teams.
