PstrongFounder in Residence – Sports Collectibles Online Platform /strong /pp Milan, Italy (or hybrid) · Equity-based partnership /ppbrScorra verso il basso per una panoramica completa dei requisiti di questo lavoro. È la persona giusta per questa possibilità?br/ppstrongAbout Human Vs Machine /strong /ppHuman Vs Machine is a Milan-based holding company that acquires, launches, and scales digital services businesses for the long term. We operate across influencer marketing, creator economy, and online sales — not as passive investors, but as hands-on operators. We keep teams small, bureaucracy near zero, and decisions fast. We think in decades, not quarters. /ppbr/ppstrongThe opportunity /strong /ppWe're launching an online platform focused on collectibles and sports memorabilia. We're not looking for an employee. We're looking for a co-founder. /ppYou own the vision, the curation, and the execution. Human Vs Machine provides seed capital, operational infrastructure (legal, finance, admin, logistics), an existing network in the sports and entertainment world — including direct experience running one of Europe's leading charity auction platforms — and the tools to scale a digital business fast. /ppYou provide the obsession for the product, the knowledge of the market, and the hunger to build a category-defining brand. /ppbr/ppThe role is designed for exceptional individuals currently in strongconsulting, strategy, or high-growth startups /strong who want to transition into strongco-founding roles /strong. /ppbr/ppbr/ppstrongWhat you'll do /strong /pp→ Define the brand, the positioning, and the product strategy: what we sell, to whom, and why they buy from us and not from anyone else. /pp→ Build sourcing channels — athletes, clubs, estates, private collectors, licensing partners. /pp→ Launch and operate the online platform: product listings, authentication, pricing, storytelling. → Develop the community: collectors, fans, investors in memorabilia as an alternative asset class. /pp→ Drive sales through organic content, paid acquisition, partnerships, drops, and auctions. /pp→ Turn a passion into a business with real margins and a defensible moat. /ppbr/ppstrongWhat we're looking for /strong /pp→ Deep, genuine passion for sports memorabilia and collectibles — you already live in this world. /pp→ Knowledge of the market: what's valuable, what's trending, how authentication works, who the key players are. /pp→ E-commerce or marketplace experience — you've sold online, whether on eBay, Shopify, your own platform, or at scale for someone else. /pp→ Commercial instinct: you understand what makes collectors open their wallets. /pp→ Content sensibility: memorabilia is storytelling — you know how to make a signed jersey feel like a piece of history. /pp→ Entrepreneurial drive: you've built something before, even small. A side hustle, a collection you monetized, a community you grew. /pp→ Fluent in Italian and English. /ppbr/ppstrongWhat we offer /strong /pp→ Meaningful equity in the business you build. /pp→ Seed capital and runway for launch: inventory, platform, branding. /pp→ Full back-office: accounting, legal, contracts, HR — all handled by HVM. /pp→ Access to an existing network in sports and entertainment built through years of operating in the space. /pp→ A long-term partner that thinks in decades, not exit cycles. /pp→ Competitive package (salary + equity in the new venture when the new venture is established) /ppbr/ppstrongWhat this is not (MUST READ) /strong /ppNot a salaried role. Not for someone who treats memorabilia as a hobby they'd rather not turn into work. Not for someone who values security over ownership. If you need a safety net more than you want to build something, this isn't for you. /ppbr/ppstrongHow to apply /strong /ppSkip the formal CV.
