Whatsa matta - you no got hands?

[Erick Gelhaus]

Annddd, I'm not even remotely qualified.

Best wishes to whoever gets it.

I am not looking to change, but if my career had stayed in engineering this would be very interesting.

I would be surprised if you do not get at least a few good applicants from Pistol-Forum.

I think there's maybe one or two non-native Italian speakers, and maybe half a doze expats or loaned natives across all of Beretta USA haha. I legitimately speak it third best in the office, and my Italian is basically on par with my menu/I've watched Narcos a couple times through level of Spanish.

Fluency in Italian is certainly not a requirement for the role, though it doesn't hurt to pick up for travel over there or understanding side conversations with the overseas team :D

While engineers can work in Product Planning it's not usually a requirement. In my experience a successful planner needs a strong sales and marketing background with a small dose of mechanical aptitude.

Planning sets 3-10 year plans based on market trends/needs and then it's engineering/development's job to make it happen.

Sales and marketing is definitely not my strength.

Damn, it’s too bad I’m not in a position to relocate.

Well, I have hands but the big draw for me would be hanging out in Tuscany and passing myself off as a Beretta corporate executive.

Grazie mille.

Looks like a fun position for someone who wants to deal with the gun community 😁

"Stupid idiot" is pretty easy to understand in romance languages. ;)

Thanks Ben! I just sent this to a buddy that would be a great fit. He is in the industry and lives in Tennessee. I think you either know him or know of him.

I just sent him the info from the LinkedIn post, and will have him reach out to your HR rep.

You just never know who posts on this forum. That's a good thing.
