Italy Country Lead

amo•Town of Italy, NY

About The Position

In short: you own Italy 🇮🇹 We’re looking for someone who is deeply plugged into Italian culture and curious to their core. The kind of person who always asks “wait, but why do people actually do that?” You’ll be the one figuring out why people in Italy download Bump, why they stay, why they leave, and what makes them tell their friends. This isn’t a “sit behind a desk and make slides” role. You’ll be out talking to real users, running scrappy experiments, stalking trends (for work, obviously), testing ideas IRL, and bringing everything you learn back to the team so we can build the best possible version of Bump for Italy. If you love ownership, hate boring days, and want to build something special, keep reading. This is probably you if: You’re ambitious and slightly obsessed with growth. You need to understand how people think (and will happily ask strangers questions). You’re always online and always paying attention to what’s happening IRL. You know how to make content that hits and how to work with creators to make it hit harder. You know Italian culture, humor, and internet vibes inside out. You’re comfortable talking to users, creators, and partners face-to-face. You’re scrappy, you’ll try weird ideas if they might work. You speak Italian fluently and live in Italy. You’re happy wearing 10 hats (and switching between them fast). You don’t wait to be told what to do, you just do it.

Requirements

1–5+ years doing something relevant (growth, community, content, research, startups, we’re flexible).

A high-ownership, “I’ve got this” mindset.
