To contribute to its ambitious growth plan, Objectway is looking for a Value Creation Manager for its Milan office.
 
Role Mission:
 
Support the Group CEO and C-Suite in developing and executing the Group strategy and Value Creation Plan, with particular focus on strategic transformation, corporate development and M&A, post-acquisition integration, CEO-led initiatives and CEO Office. The Value Creation Manager is expected to move from problem framing and business-case development to mobilization and execution. This is not a pure project-management or advisory role: the Manager takes ownership of issues and stays with them through to delivered value, while maintaining an enterprise-wide perspective and working in close collaboration with senior leadership.

Main Areas of Responsibility:

Strategy & Value Creation

- Support the CEO in developing and executing the Group strategy and Value Creation Plan, including strategic
priorities, investment portfolio choices, business cases and strategic analysis.

- Translate strategic priorities into actionable roadmaps, detailed plans, milestones and KPIs, and monitor
strategic, financial and operational outcomes.

- Support cross-Group performance improvement and organizational efficiency initiatives, including initiatives
outside individual M&A programs

Corporate Development & M&A

- Support the C-Suite on the strategic dimension of M&A, including opportunity screening, investment thesis and
strategic fit, business cases, strategic due diligence, synergy assessment and value creation planning.

- Work alongside Finance, Legal, business executives and external advisors on transaction execution, while
maintaining ownership of the strategic rationale and post-deal value creation agenda.

- Support post-acquisition integration across organizational, process, technology and cultural dimensions,
coordinating with HR, IT, Finance and relevant business functions across Group geographies.

Organization, Transformation & Change

- Contribute to the Group Organization & Transformation roadmap, including post-M&A integration, CEO Office
initiatives, organizational change and process optimization.

- Design and drive structured change-management plans to support adoption of new operating models,
processes and ways of working.

- Identify cross-functional misalignments and conflicting priorities, facilitate decisions and escalate issues when
appropriate.

CEO & Executive Support

- Provide strategic decision support to the CEO and Executive Committee through rigorous analysis, business
cases and preparation of major strategic decisions, ExCo and Board topics.

- Ensure follow-through on key decisions and initiatives, with a focus on decision-making and execution rather
than administrative support.

- Prepare concise, decision-oriented program materials and structured reporting for the CEO, Executive
Committee and Organization & Transformation leadership.

Cross-functional Orchestration

- Mobilise the right internal and external capabilities at the right time, coordinating specialist resources and
external advisors where required.

- Influence senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams without relying on formal hierarchical authority,
always balancing pace of change with organizational sustainability.

Required Skills:

- Degree in Economics, Engineering or a related field; an MBA or equivalent executive education is a plus, not a
strict requirement.

- Excellent strategic and analytical capability, with the ability to frame ambiguous, cross-functional problems and
build rigorous, decision-useful business cases.

- A genuine motivation to move from an advisory posture to an ownership posture and to be measured on
outcomes delivered.

- Strong judgement and discretion when working in close, direct proximity to the CEO and Executive Committee.

- Ability to influence senior executives and mobilise cross-functional teams without formal hierarchical
authority

- Resilience and comfort operating with limited structure on the organization’s highest-priority and often most
ambiguous initiatives

- Excellent communication skills in English; Italian is a plus given the Group’s Italian roots and management
team.

Personal profile:

- Indicatively 6-10 years of experience, with a significant part spent in strategy consulting or in a Corporate Development/Strategy function within a fast-moving, PE-backed or M&A-intensive environment.

- Direct exposure to M&A, including opportunity screening, due diligence and business-case development;
exposure to post-acquisition integration or value creation tracking is strongly preferred.

- Prior experience in, or strong affinity with, financial services/FinTech is a significant plus, though not a strict
requirement

- Evidence of moving beyond pure analysis into delivery or execution - for example, leading a workstream
through implementation - is an important signal for this role.

Contract & Compensation:

- Permanent employment with remuneration commensurate with seniority and experience.
Salary range: €70.000 - up to €90.000 gross annual salary (RAL).
The actual final compensation package and CCNL level may vary based on several factors, including, but not limited to, job-related qualifications such as knowledge, skills, education, and experience

- Ticket restaurant and company welfare.

- Health care coverage.

- Hybrid working model.

- Employee discount programs.

- Performance bonus for company objectives.
