About The Role

What Will You Do? 🦾

As a true product owner with a founder’s DNA, you’ll be responsible for ideating, validating, and driving new products to success—like running your own startup, but with the power of an established growth engine behind you.

Your Missions

• Spot opportunities & validate ideas through research, interviews, and fast MVPs.
• Run lean experiments with landing pages, prototypes, and no‑code tools.
• Lead cross‑functional squads (Product, Tech, Marketing, Sales) like an internal startup.
• Own go‑to‑market & early adoption, from positioning to first deals.
• Track KPIs & pivot fast, turning insights into growth.
• Drive end‑to‑end execution, taking products from 0 to MVP to initial traction.

What We’re Looking For 👀

• Sales & GTM Skills – You can sell even an MVP: cold calls, demos, closing deals, and writing copy that converts.
• Product Execution – Experienced in problem validation, rapid MVP building (incl. no‑code), clear roadmaps, and data‑driven decisions.
• Track Record – 3+ years in startups or scale‑ups, 2–3 years in GTM‑heavy or founder‑like roles, proven success taking products from 0 to 1.
• Bonus – Background in Hospitality Tech, HR Tech, or Fintech.
• Languages – Fluent English + Professional Italian.

What Do We Offer? 👌

• Work in a small and top‑performing team that moves extremely fast where you are extremely important.
• Work without having to deal with jerks and ego‑maniacs.
• The opportunity to join one of the best travel‑tech sales teams in Europe.
• A place where your talent can blossom.
• An environment where mistakes are allowed – we make bold choices to achieve ambitious goals, learn from mistakes, and move forward.
• A place where your voice matters – meetings provide space for new ideas and projects, regardless of your role or seniority.
• Continuous growth – we challenge the status quo, renewing our sales processes and approaches to meet challenging goals.
• We have fun while working! We are easygoing people.
• Work with the best software out there to automate repetitive tasks and let you focus on customers and targets.
• Remote working with frequent opportunities to meet up.
• Fun and enriching experiences – unforgettable team‑building events that go beyond the usual outings.
• Competitive salaries and bonuses – as a meritocratic team, we recognize talent and hard work, rewarding them appropriately.

Before you apply

We’re highly driven and set our goals higher than most, pushing boundaries others may deem impossible. We work much harder than most companies out there. Every day, we step out of our comfort zones, fueling rapid growth and learning, even though it might come with its stress. We hold ourselves and our team to the highest standards of excellence and culture. Should we feel that this role isn’t the right match for you, for the benefit of both parties, we may need to part ways.
