Livo is building the AI-powered operating system for the healthcare workforce. We operate at the intersection of HR Tech, marketplaces, and applied AI, tackling one of healthcare’s most critical challenges: enabling hospitals to plan, staff, and operate their workforce effectively while significantly improving the daily experience of healthcare professionals.

The Mission

We are seeking a high-caliber strategist and hunter to lead our entry into the Italian market. As the General Manager for Italy, you are responsible for translating Livo’s Spanish success into a dominant Italian footprint.

This is a high-stakes leadership role for a professional who thrives on ambiguity and possesses the grit to build a business from the ground up. You aren't just launching a region; you are architecting the Italian chapter of our global expansion.

Key Responsibilities
1. Enterprise Sales & Commercial Execution

• 
  

• Hunter Mentality: Personally prospect, negotiate, and close deals with Tier-1 hospital groups and healthcare networks. You own the quota, the pipeline, and the calendar.

  
  

• Complex Cycle Navigation: Manage 6- to 12-month B2B sales cycles involving high-stakes stakeholders (CFOs, HR Directors, Chief Medical Officers).

  
  

• First Revenue: Secure the first 3–5 "lighthouse" clients to serve as referenceable case studies for the broader Italian market.

  
  

2. Market Architecture & Playbook Development

• 
  

• Build the Machine: Assemble the Italian GTM infrastructure from scratch—localizing the Spanish playbook, defining Ideal Customer Profiles (ICPs), and establishing regulatory-compliant workflows.

  
  

• Strategic Localization: Translate global product capabilities into Italian value propositions (e.g., navigating CCNL contracts and regional healthcare budgets).

  
  

• Voice of the Market: Feed real-time competitive intelligence and pricing insights to HQ to influence the global product roadmap.

  
  

3. Analytical Infrastructure & Scalability

• 
  

• Data-Driven Scale: Design the Italian analytics stack (CRM automation, KPI dashboards, funnel metrics) before the team scales. You ensure we hire future sales reps into a working system, not chaos.

  
  

• Process Engineering: Identify bottlenecks in lead gen or onboarding and build automated workflows/SOPs that improve efficiency by 20%+ quarter-over-quarter.

  
  

• P&L Ownership: Maintain forensic visibility on CAC, payback periods, and unit economics; use data to justify the shift from founder-led sales to team-based scaling.

  
  

4. Cross-Functional Orchestration

• 
  

• Act as the essential bridge between Italian enterprise clients and the Spanish-based Product, Engineering, and Marketing teams. Ensure client feedback becomes product tickets, not just conversation.
