Holifya & Our Vision
We are building Europe's top-of-mind digital clinic for metabolic health. Our ambition doesn't stop at becoming a successful Italian startup - it's to build a category-defining European healthcare company in an exploding segment.
We are backed by exceptional VCs and investors who share our ambition: Exor, CDP Venture Capital, Growth Engine, and 20Fund, among others.
THE ROLE
If you want to learn growth, there is no better seat than this one.
You'll join a small team trying to build the European leader in metabolic health, and you'll own the part that decides whether we get there: turning demand into patients who stay. Ads, landing pages, WhatsApp flows, phone calls, pricing, data - it's all in play.
To be clear on what that means day to day: a large part of your week is on the phone with people who haven't decided yet, and plenty of what you build in month one you'll throw away by month three. It's repetitive, sometimes uncomfortable, and always measurable.
Most people learn growth by reading about it. You'll learn it by running the experiments, talking to the customers, and watching the number move on Monday morning.
What you'll own:
- Conversion. The step from consultation to paying member is yours, and it's the number you're measured on. This is largely a sales job, you call prospects and patients who haven't started, handle the objections on cost and treatment, track and follow up, and work with the team to solve the main bottlenecks in acquisition.
- Systems & automation. Build the lifecycle that runs without you: activation, reminders, recovery, renewals, winbacks. Whatever you do by hand this week should run by itself next month, with a clean escalation back to a person when a patient needs one.
- Growth analysis & performance.
You'll learn the fundamentals of growth marketing: how a funnel is built, optimised and scaled.
- –Which channels bring which people, what each converts at, which cohorts stay.
- – Attribution and tracking, so we know what actually produced a patient and not just a click.
- – Cost per lead, cost per consultation, and which creatives and audiences deserve more budget.
- – A/B tests and CRO on landing pages, flows, and booking steps
- Other things. Help with B2C partnerships and one-off initiatives, build landing pages, rework parts of the website. You'll touch every point of growth, from traffic to bottom-of-funnel optimisation.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Non-negotiables:
- Milan-based, in person.
- Bachelor or Master with high graduating grades or GPA from a top-tier university: Bocconi, Politecnico, Cattolica, HEC, LSE, LBS, Esade, Nova, St Gallen or equivalent. Recent graduates and final-year students welcome.
- Hustle mentality - you don't stop when it gets boring or when someone says no ten times in a row. This matters to us more than anything on your CV.
- Comfortable on the phone: this role will require a lot of your time calling prospects and users.
- Builder instinct: repetitive work annoys you and you want to automate it rather than accept it.
- Analytical: you enjoy numbers and you want to understand what the data is telling you, not just report it.
- AI-native:
you use AI tools daily to multiply your output.
- Proactivity and ownership.
- High proficiency in both Italian and English.
Strong plus / nice to have (not mandatory):
- Any experience where the phone was the job.
- Hands-on with a CRM, or with any no-code automation tool (Make, Zapier, n8n).
- Exposure to paid media and performance marketing, or to early-stage startups.
- SQL, or comfort with data beyond basic spreadsheets.
WHAT WE OFFER
- 6 months, then tempo pieno. A 6-month internship at €1.000/month, with the clear intention of bringing you on full time at the end of it. We agree the targets that decide it in your first week and review them together, no vague promises.
- Real ownership. One number that is yours, visible to the whole company, from month one, and direct work with the founders: ex-McKinsey, ex-Amazon, Columbia, Bocconi and Politecnico.
- A modern stack. Airtable, Make, Spoki, Stripe, Claude, and the time to learn it properly.
- Work that counts. No training-wheels internship: real impact, real growth, and a place in the founding team of an Italian startup with global ambition.
Holifya's culture is built on a few non-negotiables
- Excellence & Obsession. Whatever it takes to reach the goal. Be obsessed. Never settle.
- Ownership. We own problems end-to-end. If you raise a problem, you implement a solution.
- Only results matter. Results matter more than effort. We never make excuses.
