#WEARAD ARAD is a strategic consulting company operating in the field of digital transformation.

We help both large international companies and Italian start-ups to create or improve their business through the opportunities offered by digital, supporting them in defining the most appropriate strategy for their operating scenario and following them in its implementation.

The sectors in which we operate primarily are retail, grocery, food & beverage, and fashion.

We are looking for inspired talents, digital enthusiasts who want to grow professionally in a fast and stimulating environment, taking advantage of the opportunity to be directly involved right away on various and complex projects, ranging from strategic to organizational consultancy, from optimization of e-commerce performance to product management, from the set up of digital channels to business development.

WHY WORK WITH US At ARAD we work every day to affirm a new way of consulting: simpler, more efficient, more humane.

Even if we are a small team, we manage projects for big brands and every member of the team is actively involved and gains experience daily.

One of our core values is the spirit of collaboration, we help each other as we all work for the same goal.

We put people first - life can be hard, we actively try to make it easier: for instance, we combined on-premises (either in our Bologna, Milan or Padova offices) and remote working before it was cool.

We value ideas - all ideas are worth sharing but most importantly hearing, no matter where they come from: we debate (friendly), we choose the path and we all commit.

We strive for greatness - we are proud to have both great clients from a wide range of different industries and great talents to push our limits further every day.
