Jr. General Manager, Italy

Location: Milan, Italy (Hybrid) Reporting to: VP of Expansion

Livo is building the AI-powered operating system for the healthcare workforce. We operate at the intersection of HR Tech, marketplaces, and applied AI, tackling one of healthcare’s hardest problems: enabling hospitals to plan, staff, and operate their workforce effectively while improving the daily experience of healthcare professionals.

Livo is seeking a high-caliber strategist and operator to lead our entry into the Italian market. As the Jr. General Manager for Italy, you will be the "entrepreneur-in-residence" responsible for translating Livo’s Spanish success into a dominant Italian footprint.

This is a high-stakes, "zero-to-one" leadership role designed for a professional who thrives on ambiguity and possesses the "founder-at-heart" grit to build a business from the ground up. You won't just be supporting a launch; you will be architecting the Italian chapter of our global expansion.

• Market Architecture & Strategy: Lead the scale-up end-to-end of Livo’s Italian infrastructure. You are responsible for ensuring our workflows are optimized for local success while maintaining global alignment.

• Strategic GTM & Commercial Execution: Take full ownership of the Go-To-Market strategy. You will navigate complex sales cycles and build relationships with high-level stakeholders, including HR Directors, Hospital CEOs, and C-suite clients.

• The "Voice of Italy": Act as the strategic partner to the VP of Expansion. You will analyze local trends and regulatory nuances to influence the global product roadmap.

• Cross-Functional Orchestration: Lead collaboration between Sales, Product, and Marketing teams in Spain. You ensure that when Italy identifies a market need, the global organization acts.

• P&L & Performance Ownership: Own the local KPIs. You will manage dashboards and reporting, providing the "why" behind the numbers and proposing strategic pivots to drive growth.

We don\'t expect you to know everything on Day 1, but we expect you to apply a consultant\'s rigor to our expansion.

Diagnosis & Alignment (Days 1–30)

• Immersion: Master the Livo "Playbook" in Spain; identify core success drivers for local adaptation.

• Market Mapping: Identify the top 20 "Must-Win" accounts and map the key decision-makers in the ecosystem.

• Risk Assessment: Identify the top 3 regulatory or cultural barriers and propose mitigation strategies.

Execution & Alpha Clients (Days 31–60)

• Operational Launch: Take full ownership of the implementation for our first wave of Italian clients; ensure they become "referenceable success stories."

• Strategic Feedback: Deliver a "Market Insight Report" to HQ detailing specific product localization needs to ensure seamless product-market fit.

Optimization & Scaling (Days 61–90)

• Revenue Milestone: Close the first 1–3 deals and hit initial targets for user engagement.

• Process Engineering: Implement one process improvement (e.g., onboarding or lead-gen) that increases efficiency by 20%.

• Future Planning: Collaborate on the 2026 growth budget and headcount strategy for Italy.

• 3–6 years of experience in Top-Tier Strategy Consulting, Investment Banking, or a high-growth "Scale-up" environment.

• Entrepreneurial DNA, while comfortable with ambiguity and the grit to solve problems without a manual. You think like an owner, not a coordinator.

• Strong command of data. You use numbers to drive decisions and can build a business case for any strategic pivot.

• Ability to hold your own in meetings with both technical leads and C-suite executives.

• Multilingual Excellence:
  Italian: Native-level fluency.
  English: Professional working proficiency.
  Spanish: Professional working proficiency (essential for HQ collaboration).
