Job Description
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
