About Gondolina

Gondolina is one of the fastest growing luxury footwear brands in Italy.

We are looking for an exceptional person who wants to grow with us and help build the next stage of the company.

This is for someone who loves solving problems, taking ownership and making things happen.

The Role

We need a true operator.

Someone who is comfortable wearing multiple hats, adapting quickly, learning fast and taking responsibility for whatever is needed to move the company forward.

One day you may be reviewing store performance.

The next you may be coordinating a recruitment process, opening a new store, improving an operational process or solving an urgent issue.

You must be flexible, proactive and obsessed with execution.

Responsibilities

• Oversee the performance and organization of all stores
• Coordinate with Area Managers and store teams
• Manage the relationship with the labour consultant
• Support recruitment and people management
• Improve processes and operational efficiency
• Ensure projects and initiatives are executed successfully
• Identify problems and solve them quickly
• Help build the systems and structure needed for Gondolina's growth

Who We Are Looking For

• Highly organized and execution focused
• Entrepreneurial mindset
• Comfortable in fast changing environments
• Strong leadership and communication skills
• Able to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
• Passionate about growth and continuous improvement
• Fluent in Italian and English

Most importantly:

We are looking for someone ambitious, hungry, adaptable and eager to build something extraordinary.

Someone who does not wait to be told what to do, but takes ownership and finds solutions.

Why Join Gondolina

You will have a direct impact on the growth of one of the most ambitious luxury brands emerging from Venice.

If you are looking for a comfortable job, this is not the right opportunity.

• If you want responsibility, growth, challenges and the opportunity to build something exceptional, we would love to meet you.
