General Manager (Italy)

AI overview

Lead Italy's market expansion by integrating crypto in financial services through public engagement and strategic partnerships.

At Deblock, we are building the first current account that truly integrates crypto: simple, non-custodial, and human. We are looking for our Italy General Manager in all but title.

You won't just be the "face" of the brand; you will be the brain behind our Italy market expansion. You will combine public visibility (PR, Podcasts, Conferences) with commercial strategy (Partnerships, Localisation, Trust-Building).

You will report directly to the Founders and own the "Trust & Growth" engine for Italy.

👀 What we are looking for

  • The "Hybrid" Profile: You are 50% Public Figure (comfortable on TV/Stage) and 50% Operator (BizDev/Strategy).
  • Commercial Network: You have a "Rolodex" of contacts at Italian fintechs, Media outlets, banks, and platforms
  • Trust Builder: You understand the Italian "Trust Stack" and view regulation as a competitive advantage.
  • Crypto Credibility: You can explain "Non-Custodial" to a 60-year-old on national TV without scaring them.

🤩 What will make you stand out

  • Experience negotiating partnerships.
  • A personal brand that leans towards "Expert/Educator" rather than "Hype/Trading."
  • You have successfully navigated a fintech product through Italian consumer protection hurdles.
  • Experience in "Lobbying Light" - engaging with political or regulatory stakeholders to advocate for our model.

🧑‍💻 What you’ll be working on

  • Public Face: Represent Deblock on top-tier podcasts, TV panels, and key industry stages.
  • Strategic Partnerships: Identify and close integrations that matter to Italians (e.g., local payment methods, tax tool integrations).
  • KOL Management: Don't just "hire influencers." Build a "Council of Experts" curating long-term relationships with credible finance educators.
  • Trust Architecture: Lead the initiative to acquire local trust signals (e.g., registering with consumer protection programs, obtaining local certifications).
  • Localisation Strategy: Adapt our global product roadmap to fit Italian user habits (e.g., "Do we need an IBAN discriminator strategy?").

🤑 What you’ll get

  • Competitive salary + stock options
  • Private dental + health insurance
  • The best tech for your job
  • 30 days of paid holidays (excl. bank holidays)
  • Option to work 100% remotely or come to the office - your choice!
  • Ability to work abroad for 4 months a year
