General Manager (Italy)

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
