• Manage and Develop the Team: Leading the Comp&Ben team, managing and developing your people, and promoting a delivery‑oriented culture.

You will lead and mentor high‑performing teams, collaborate closely with peers with structured communication and transparency, and demonstrate a commitment to integrity and ownership.

Who We’re Looking For

We are seeking a proven leader with a distinguished track record of success in driving strategic initiatives and achieving significant business growth within relevant sectors. You will lead by example, combining ambition with purpose, drive impactful results, and cultivate ownership and continuous improvement in our dynamic environment.

• Strategic Compensation Design: Proven track record in designing, building, and implementing compensation strategy at a company level for fast‑paced, rapidly scaling environments.
• Stakeholder & C‑Level Partnership: Effective communication with stakeholders at all levels, acting as a true partner and guiding the compensation & benefits policy strategy for the entire company.
• Hands‑on & Analytical Approach: Excel wizardship and fearlessness in building complex models from scratch.
• E2E Project Management: Extremely organized, capable of managing complex projects autonomously, setting priorities, meeting deadlines, and orchestrating cross‑team collaboration.
• Expertise in Equity & Incentives: Deep, direct knowledge of stock option plans and the design of modern, scalable, and flexible incentive plans (MBOs).
• People Management: Experience managing a team of highly technical and specialised professionals; ability to delegate and motivate both direct reports and cross‑functional collaborators.
• Language Skills: Fluent in both spoken and written English and Italian.
