Adzuna is the fastest growing job search engine globally and we’re on the lookout for a Country Manager for Italy to make an impact, grow traffic and revenue and turbo charge growth in our Italian business, which we have just launched.

As the Country Manager you will lead the charge to win Italy and transform the Italian job search market. Your job will be to make sure the development of our site is a continued successful growth story – from internet marketing like SEO and PPC, to customer support, blogging, PR and social media, to growing revenue from our pay-per-click advertisers. You’ll monitor the metrics for your site, and work with everyone in the company to build a great user experience and a profitable fast growing-business.

In exchange for your hard work, you’ll learn a ton from some of the top experts in the functions you deal with, you’ll get paid a market competitive salary and be granted stock options, and if you’re successful your career can progress quickly in a low-hierarchy, fast-growing company.

We are people who want to make a difference, to move fast, innovate and strive for excellence, and who work together well as a team. Impact, results and commitment to the cause are what we measure ourselves on, not how many hours are spent in the office. We are all owners of our business.

From launch in the UK in 2011, we now have more than 10 million visitors a month and are busy conquering the world from our office in West London. It’ll be fun, hard work, and rewarding.

You must have between 1 and 3 years of internet marketing or biz dev experience at a startup or blue chip web brand. You must have a great university degree, and can demonstrate strong analytical and copy writing skills. You’ve probably graduated recently and are looking to join a start-up where you can learn a lot. You’re not afraid of getting on the phone to business partners or customers, or of a bit of hard graft.

You must be fluent in English plus Italian. Ideally you are a native of Italy. Other languages are a bonus.

Most of all, you must be hands-on, entrepreneurial, and thrive on juggling a lot of balls!
