Growth Engineer — Livia

Milan · Full-time, on-site · Italian required

Why Livia exists

Italians have put everything into their homes: the savings of two generations, their identity, their children's future. No country loves the home more. And no country administers it worse.

Most of us live in a condominium. You can track a €10 pizza in real time on your phone, but your building's €200,000 budget disappears once a year into an unreadable PDF. You call, and nobody answers. The leak becomes a stain, and the stain becomes a dispute. In the end, nobody is accountable.

The real monopolist in this market isn't any administrator. It's resignation: "tanto è così." Livia exists to revoke this mandate.

What we're building

Livia is building the operating system for residential living, and we are running it ourselves.

We don't sell software to administrators. We are the administrator, and we build the technology that powers us from the ground up. That lets us make promises no one else in the market makes: every euro visible in real time, no kickbacks from contractors, an answer within one hour on emergencies, and a full refund if a building isn't satisfied in the first year.

Underneath, we're building something harder to see: the deepest context layer on Italian buildings. Every repair request, contractor job, assembly decision, and resident conversation becomes structured knowledge. When a pipe leaks, our system knows which pipes are in the wall and which plumber last worked on them. The better the context, the better the AI; the better the AI, the more buildings run proactively rather than reactively. That compounding context is our moat, and it's why we're rebuilding the data architecture from scratch instead of bolting AI onto legacy tools, as incumbents are now trying to do.

But property management is a trust business, and AI can't take responsibility. So our administrators become what they should always have been: dedicated people who know their buildings, run assemblies well, and put their name on every decision, while software handles the groundwork.

We grow by winning buildings one by one and by integrating established administration firms. We welcome their teams and expertise and give them better processes and tools. The best administrators in Milan will be with us.

We're backed by Italian Founders Fund, Vento, 2100, and leading Italian families and angels. The market has thousands of fragmented firms and no reference company yet. We intend to become the alternative and fix the world's oldest asset class.

The Role

Almost nobody in Italy has ever chosen their condominium administrator. They inherited one. Our job is to turn a decision people have never thought about into one they actively make, and then make it easy.

That's one of the hardest sales processes there is. The customer isn't one person but a whole building: a frustrated owner who finds us, a council that needs convincing, and an assembly of neighbours who must vote to revoke the current administrator and appoint us. The cycle is long, the trigger is often a single bad moment, and there is no playbook, because nobody has built a consumer brand in this category before.

As our Growth Engineer, you'll build that playbook from scratch. You'll own the full engine, from the billboard someone sees on their way to work, to the ad on their phone, to the landing page that answers their questions, to the materials that win the vote in the assembly. You write the code, launch the campaigns, run the experiments, and read the numbers, and you decide what to do next.

The role sits between marketing, product, and sales, and it's designed for someone who wants to lead growth at Livia as we scale beyond Milan.

How We Work

Livia is not a typical Italian company, and this is not a typical Italian job.

We're a team of internationals and Italians who left, built careers at some of the world's fastest-growing startups and unicorns, and came back. We brought that playbook home: high standards, fast decisions, radical ownership, and an intensity that doesn't exist in Italy.

We believe Milan can become a startup ecosystem that rivals London, Paris, or Berlin, and we intend to help build it.

Here's what that looks like day to day:

• We move fast. Decisions take days, not months. A landing page you design in the morning can be live with traffic by the afternoon.

• We hold a high bar. We expect excellent work, and we tell each other directly when something falls short, including the founders.

• We own outcomes, not channels. Clicks and impressions aren't the finish line; buildings that choose Livia are.

• We work hard, on purpose. Building a category-defining company takes real commitment
