At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies, with a strong ethics framework and a focus on growth for team members and the business. Our strategy combines strategic capital allocation with hands-on operational execution to create value and scale our platform.

• Guide smooth onboarding and offboarding processes, delivering outstanding experiences while handling administrative updates such as contract changes, system updates, and document processing.
• Steer the people side of administrative operations including new business acquisitions, internal reorganizations, legal restructuring, and share option plans.
• Manage job-offer processes end-to-end, including monitoring and negotiation, providing relevant information, and supporting international employees with visas and other required documentation.
• Work cross-functionally to develop and implement exceptional employee welfare and benefits initiatives.
• Support new office launches by coordinating the administrative workstream, conducting due diligence on local requirements, and building and maintaining the administrative blueprint.
• Stay up to date with workplace international laws and regulations, ensuring compliance and effective enforcement across our organizations, also in collaboration with external consultants.

• 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 reliable, honest, and transparent.
• Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

• 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 hire individuals of outstanding potential and place them in roles that enable them to thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars and can contribute to major projects.
• Competitive pay and access to equity in the company. Salary ranges vary by location and experience, with potential for equity and relocation benefits where applicable.
• All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, learning and training support, health insurance, relocation assistance, parental support, and annual retreats.
