The General Manager Italy’s Right Hand internship is a very entrepreneurial one-time opportunity to participate in the early development of a scale-up’s local office and activity.

Within our local fast-growing team, you will work directly with Giovanni, our General Manager. Your primary missions will be to support and help frame our development, with the ultimate goal of enabling our Sales & Operations and go-to-market strategy.

This role is entrepreneurial by nature, requiring skills in data analysis, finance and project management. You will work closely with various teams on key projects essential to OVRSEA’s growth in Italy.

- Run local marketing missions (coordination of webinar planning, email campaigns)

- Prepare monthly 360° reporting to the ExCo, detailing our financial, operational and sales performance

- Serve as a local point of contact and relay between local and HQ teams, in great collaboration within OVRSEA Business Performance team

- Conduct structuring projects in autonomy, in order to increase sales teams performance or generate new business opportunities. Here are a few examples:

- Automate low-value added CRM tasks, via AI application, in collaboration with GenAI team

- Build and increase adoption of sales career path monitoring tool, across all OVRSEA offices

- Improve our selling techniques via increased knowledge-sharing between OVRSEA offices (procurement, TPC) and our Italian office, in alignment with Italian market specificities
