    About the Company

    At EUPRANA we are an early-stage Italian startup developing an innovative consumer health product in the respiratory wellness space. Our first product is a patented research-derived nasal patch designed to improve breathing comfort. The company is pre-revenue and preparing for its commercial launch in Italy through pharmacy and mass-market distribution channels.

    We are supported by experienced advisors and preparing fundraising activities. In that context, we are seeking our first full-time executive hire to lead operations, execution, and early market entry.

    Role Summary

    We are looking for a hands-on, entrepreneurial leader who will act as a "one-person execution engine" during the company's initial phase. This role combines elements of CEO, COO, and Head of Business Development, with direct responsibility for turning strategy into operational reality.

    This is not a corporate management role; it is a founding-stage builder role requiring autonomy, accountability, and comfort with ambiguity.

    Key Responsibilities

    Product & Operations

    • Identify and manage contract manufacturers and suppliers, including negotiations and contractualization
    • Oversee product industrialization and quality control
    • Coordinate packaging, regulatory compliance, and logistics setup

    Commercial & Market Launch

    • Develop positioning and go-to-market strategy for Italy
    • Establish relationships with pharmacy chains, distributors, and retail partners
    • Coordinate initial sales and distribution agreements

    Marketing & Brand

    • Define product messaging and differentiation vs competitors
    • Supervise creation of marketing materials and campaigns
    • Manage digital presence and performance marketing agencies

    Corporate & Fundraising Support

    • Prepare operational inputs for investor decks
    • Support fundraising processes and due diligence
    • Coordinate advisors and external consultants

    General Management

    • Budget ownership and cost control
    • KPI definition and tracking
    • Hiring planning for subsequent employees

    Profile & Experience

    Must Have

    • 8–15 years of professional experience
    • Experience in consumer health, pharma OTC, medical devices, cosmetics, or FMCG
    • Demonstrated ability to execute projects end-to-end
    • Strong negotiation and supplier management skills
    • Comfort with ambiguity and startup pace
    • Fluent Italian and strong English

    Highly Valuable

    • Experience launching consumer products in pharmacies or retail
    • Exposure to regulatory or quality frameworks
    • Fundraising or investor interaction experience
    • Digital marketing literacy

    Personal Attributes

    • Ownership mindset
    • Pragmatic problem solver
    • Resilient under uncertainty
    • Hands-on executor rather than delegator
    • Ethical and transparent communicator

    What We Offer

    • Founding-level impact and autonomy
    • Equity participation aligned with company growth
    • Competitive but startup-stage compensation
    • Direct exposure to investors and strategic decisions

    Location

    Italy (Remote with frequent travel to Milan or other major cities)

    Chi Siamo

    EUPRANA è una startup italiana in fase iniziale che sta sviluppando un innovativo prodotto consumer nel settore del benessere respiratorio. Il primo prodotto è un cerotto nasale brevettato, derivato da ricerca scientifica, progettato per migliorare il comfort respiratorio.

    Sintesi del Ruolo

Il ruolo combina elementi di CEO, COO e Responsabile Business Development, con responsabilità diretta nel trasformare la strategia in risultati operativi concreti.

    Non si tratta di un ruolo manageriale corporate tradizionale, ma di una posizione da builder di fase fondativa, che richiede autonomia, forte senso di responsabilità e comfort nell'incertezza.

    • Definire messaggi di prodotto e differenziazione rispetto ai concorrenti
    • Supervisionare la creazione di materiali e campagne marketing
    • Gestire presenza digitale e agenzie di performance marketing

    Supporto Corporate & Fundraising

    • Preparare input operativi per investor deck
    • Supportare processi di raccolta fondi e due diligence
    • Coordinare advisor e consulenti esterni

    General Management

    • Responsabilità del budget e controllo costi
    • Definizione e monitoraggio KPI
    • Pianificazione delle successive assunzioni

    Profilo & Esperienza

    • Comfort con ambiguità e ritmo startup
    • Italiano fluente e ottimo inglese

    • Esperienza nel lancio di prodotti consumer in farmacia o retail
    • Conoscenza di framework regolatori o di qualità

    • Problem solver pragmatico
    • Resilienza nell'incertezza
    • Orientamento operativo diretto più che delega
    • Comunicazione etica e trasparente
