Descrizione dell'offerta
TL;DR
PILLAR is an Italian startup founded in 2025. We raised a record €3.2M round to revolutionize the construction industry.
Our goal is clear: become the standard for construction management in Italy.
We’re looking for a Business Development Intern who isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty.
Who you are: hungry, motivated, great at building relationships.
Offer:
€800/month during the internship
Real growth opportunities
Possibility of a full-time role afterward
Why PILLAR exists
The Italian construction industry doesn’t have a work problem.
It has a cash flow problem.
Construction sites generate revenue but don’t collect payments, Excel sheets everywhere, decisions made “by gut feeling,” and entrepreneurs realizing too late they’re in trouble.
PILLAR was created to solve this problem at its core.
A platform that allows construction companies to:
Have real-time visibility over cash flow
Reconcile invoices and bank transactions
Manage construction sites more efficiently
Stop running their business on intuition
If we manage to do this at scale, we can truly change a part of the Italian economy.
And that’s exactly what we’re trying to do.
