Job Details

At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers. A company where team members grow to their full potential. A company that functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency. A company that creates value for shareowners at an extraordinary rate. And a company that does so while adhering to high ethical standards.

To achieve this objective, we execute the following strategy: We acquire a digital business with untapped potential and make it as successful as we can by leveraging our platform—which comprises our expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, and company culture. Then, we invest the proceeds into making our platform more powerful, and into acquiring new businesses. Thus, our strategy sees us combine an investor’s attention to capital allocation with the hands-on approach of an operator.

For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate. That’s our promise to such a candidate.

A few examples of your responsibilities

  • Support selected Spooners by handling both personal and professional errands, helping them stay focused on their strategic priorities.
  • Conduct thorough research on various topics relevant to the assisted Spooners, and distill findings into clear, concise reports.
  • Organize travel experiences by coordinating transportation and accommodation for both business and personal trips.
  • Manage communications with discretion and efficiency, responding to requests promptly.
  • Take ownership of small projects from initial planning through to completion.

What we look for

  • Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, and structure your ideas sharply. You resist the influence of biases. You identify and take care of the details that matter.
  • Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do—and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work. You hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
  • Team spirit. You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your idea. You're always happy to get your hands dirty to help your team. You’re reliable, honest, and transparent.
  • Fluent English and Italian. You can read and write fluently both in English and in Italian.

What we offer

  • Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. You’ll work in small, result-oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
  • An exceptional opportunity for growth. We go to great lengths to hire individuals of outstanding potential—then, our priority is to put them in the ideal position to thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll soon be playing an essential role in major projects, too.
  • Competitive pay. Our pay packages are designed to attract and retain top professionals. This job has a competitive, top-of-industry salary. Pay grows rapidly as you accumulate experience and translate it into greater impact.

Before you apply

Bending Spoons is a demanding environment: We’re extremely ambitious, and ask a lot of ourselves and one another. While this tends to lead to fantastic learning, achievements, and career growth, it also requires a significant commitment.

To support your growth, we strongly prefer that you spend your first few months in our Milan office, where possible. We believe early in-person collaboration accelerates learning, builds trust, and strengthens team dynamics. We’ll support you with substantial accommodation and travel assistance. After this initial period, you’re welcome to work from our offices in Milan, London, or remotely from selected timezones (based on what’s agreed at the offer stage).

So if you like the role and are ready to give your very best, don’t hesitate to apply.

The selection process

If you pass our screening, we’ll ask you to take on a few tests that assess how you approach unfamiliar problems. If you’re successful with those, we’ll invite you to a series of interviews. Bending Spoons is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. We consider for employment any applicant and we provide reasonable accommodations for an applicant with disabilities, which can be requested through this form. Studies suggest that women tend not to apply for a job if their CV isn’t a perfect fit. Here, talent takes precedence over experience. So if you like the role and think you could be awesome at it in time, go ahead and apply.
