A key part of the role requires interfacing with lots of different stakeholders—meaning that you're unfailingly patient, kind, and reliable.

- A collaborative nature.

You can understand others and work well with them, balancing patience and assertiveness.

- Curiosity and initiative.

Rather than waiting to be told what to do, you're forever hunting down new opportunities and testing fresh ideas.

You've consistently and actively participated in independent projects, and you're an endless source of innovative ideas.

- A hands on attitude.

Because you own the mission, when you see something that needs to be done, you do it.

- Integrity.

You take pride in acting ethically and are committed to safeguarding the company's reputation.

- Reasoning and depth of learning.

You learn new concepts and skills rapidly, delving in new topics with a structured approach and a curious mindset.

This is demonstrated by how quickly you mastered new tools when you first encountered them, and by how you used creative problem-solving to face cross-disciplinary problems.

- Humility.

You're down to earth, eager to listen to feedback and constructive criticism, and ready to support your team with whatever it needs to succeed.

- Fluent English and Italian.

You can read and write fluently both in English and in Italian.

- You live in Milan, or are ready to relocate.

This position requires you to work in Milan most of your time.

Our compensation packages are designed to attract and retain the best talent in the industry.
