The price of gold has tripled over the past ten years and during that time, Kultakiertue has become the leading player in its field in Finland.

How would you like to play a critical role in expanding a rapidly growing Nordic success story into Italy?

At Kultakiertue, we are the market leader and pioneers in the purchase and appraisal of precious metals - especially gold and silver. Our safe, reliable, and above all, customer-centric service model is now expanding across the Nordic region and into the rest of Europe.

Over 100 professionals already work with our unique service concept, and our growth continues to accelerate -making this the perfect time to jump on board.

Role Description

As Operations Manager, you’ll be responsible for developing, launching, and growing our business in Italy.

Because Italy is a brand-new market for us, the role includes hands-on work in launching operations: supporting early-stage setup, communicating with authorities, and helping move permit and regulatory processes forward. We will provide all core documentation and content for these discussions — but we rely on your Italian language skills and local understanding to get things off the ground.

You’ll act as the link between group leadership and the local Italian market, ensuring that operations become profitable, efficient, and compliant.

• Acting as the main point of contact for local subcontractors and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations

• Supporting the market launch by interfacing with authorities regarding permits, registrations, and compliance

• Supporting recruitment and onboarding of local team members as the business grows

• Removing operational bottlenecks and enabling the success of local teams

• Expanding purchasing operations and growing market share

• Monitoring market developments to maintain competitiveness

• Ensuring legal compliance and adherence to internal group processes

• Reporting performance and progress to group operations leadership
  
  

What We Expect from You

• Proven experience in organizational leadership and strong interpersonal skills

• Solid business understanding and operational competence

• Native-level Italian language skills; English proficiency required

• Willingness to travel within Italy when needed

• Ability to operate in a fast-moving and regulated business environment

• Comfort working in an early-stage market where initial setup and regulatory work are part of the role

• Hands-on mindset and strong sense of ownership
  
  

What We Offer

• A responsible and versatile role within an international group

• A rare opportunity to build and launch operations in a new European market

• The support of a close-knit and experienced organization

• A competitive annual salary ranging from €60,000–€80,000

• Excellent employment benefits and opportunities for professional growth
