Bending Spoons
At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers, grows its team members to their full potential, and functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency. We create extraordinary value for shareholders while adhering to high ethical standards.
Our strategy combines capital allocation with hands‑on operation. We acquire digital businesses with untapped potential, leverage our platform—comprising expertise, technology, data, brand, talent, and culture—to make them successful, then reinvest the proceeds to strengthen the platform further and acquire new businesses.
Responsibilities
Own the onboarding for new Spooners, ensuring every step is completed on time and new hires feel informed, supported, and welcomed from day one.
Support recruiting by leading sourcing across multiple platforms, managing candidate communications, and owning selected stages of the hiring process.
Handle office visits and other talent‑related events, ensuring flawless logistics, scheduling, and on‑site coordination, and providing a seamless experience to all participants.
Facilitate core people operations, including relocations, benefits administration, and payroll‑related workflows.
Manage employment contracts and other HR documentation, keep records accurate and current, and support internal team needs by swift extraction and interpretation of key information.
Qualifications
Reasoning ability . Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, structure your ideas sharply, resist biases, and attend to details that matter.
Drive . You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match that ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work and hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
Team spirit . You give generously and without expecting returns, support the best idea, not your own, and help your team when needed. You’re reliable, honest, and transparent.
Fluent English and Italian . You can read and write fluently in both languages.
What we offer
Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams . Work in small, result‑oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
An exceptional opportunity for growth . We prioritize people of outstanding potential and place them in positions where they can thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and if you’ve got what it takes you’ll soon play an essential role in major projects.
Competitive pay and equity . Typical compensation ranges from £41,255 to £56,345–£85,797 in London, and €39,892 to €54,346–€82,557 elsewhere in Europe, depending on experience and impact. Permanent contract holders can receive company equity at a discounted price. Relocating to Italy may include a 50 % tax cut.
Comprehensive benefits . Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited learning funding, top‑of‑the‑market health insurance, relocation package, generous parental support, and a yearly retreat to a stunning location.
Commitment & contract Permanent or fixed‑term. Full‑time.

Selection process If you pass our screening, we’ll ask you to complete a few tests designed to assess how you approach unfamiliar problems. They’re challenging and may take several hours. If you succeed, we’ll invite you to a series of interviews.
We set the bar high and won’t extend an offer until we’re convinced we’ve found the right candidate. A job may stay open for months or be reposted several times.
Before you apply If you’ve applied before but didn’t receive an offer, we recommend waiting at least one year before applying again.
Work environment Bending Spoons is a demanding environment. We’re extremely ambitious and hold ourselves—and one another—to a high standard. This leads to extraordinary learning, achievement, and career growth, but also requires significant commitment.
Ramp‑up To help you ramp up quickly, we recommend spending your first few months working from our Milan office, regardless of your long‑term work location. It’s the best way to absorb our culture and build trust with your teammates. We’ll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. Afterwards, you may work from our offices in Milan or London, or remotely from approved countries, depending on what we agree at the offer stage.
If the role speaks to you and you’re excited to give your best, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now—we can’t wait to meet you.
