Milan-based Healthtech Scale-up • Founding Team Role • Significant Equity Access
Holifya & Our VisionWe are building Europe's top-of-mind digital clinic for metabolic health.

who share our ambition: Exor, CDP Venture Capital, Growth Engine, and 20Fund, among others.
The RoleYou are not an employee but a founding team partner. You will own everything related to growth and go-to-market - end to end, no hand-holding. This is not a /"head of/" role where you inherit a team and a playbook. You will build the machine.

owner of Revenue
and
New User growth.
You are in charge of Whatever it Takes to bring this growth – with a
strong bias for action

Digital acquisition, referrals, partnerships, offline channels, and any channel that can sustainably grow users and revenue.Own conversion, not just acquisition.
Funnels, CRM, automations, accounts / sales scripts, promotions and pricing tests, paid acquisition (Meta, Google), SEO, conversion, retention loops.Decide when to push and when to stop.
Test aggressively, kill what doesn't work, double down on what does, and protect marginality. Define product development priorities to push acquisition.Beyond digital marketing - Create and scale the medical referral engine.
Create a mechanism of referral via doctors, GPs and territorial partners that refer patients to Holifya.Unit economics and revenue systems:
CAC/LTV optimization, pricing, scalable revenue plays

A Message to You from the FounderI'm not looking for someone to fill a role. I'm looking for a partner who will be my peer in the ups and lows and who owns revenue with the same internal bar I have. Read further if you don't want to be an employee but an entrepreneur.
This person is obsessive about outcomes, intellectually sharp, and physically uncomfortable with anything below the bar of excellence (by excellence we absolutely do not mean perfection!). They've either founded or led growth in an intese-growth environment, ideally a healthcare startup, understand how to turn strategy into scalable revenue systems. They have significant knowledge in go-to-market in the 0-1 phase and in the 1-10 phase. They are humble, yet overachievers.
Holifya's culture is built on a few non-negotiables:Excellence & Obsession.
Whatever it takes to reach the goal. Be obsessed.Ownership.
We own problems end-to-end. If you raise a problem, you implement a solution.Only results matter.
Results matter, way more than effort.
If you
read this and feel energized
rather than intimidated,
we should talk.
