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

We acquire digital businesses with untapped potential and help them succeed by leveraging our platform—comprising expertise, technologies, data, brand, talent, and culture. The proceeds are invested in strengthening our platform and acquiring new businesses, combining capital allocation with a hands‑on operator approach.

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.

• Oversee international tax compliance and planning, including federal, state, and local income, franchise, and sales taxes, as well as transfer pricing.
• Calculate tax liabilities, prepare and file returns, and manage the tax aspects of equity plans and contractor arrangements.
• Ensure proper tax treatment of employee benefits and welfare programs.
• Conduct tax due diligence for acquisitions and structure transactions efficiently.
• Stay current on tax law changes, identify savings opportunities (e.g., R&D credits), and liaise with tax authorities and advisors.

• Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems, think from first principles, and structure your ideas sharply, avoiding biases.
• Drive. You’re extremely ambitious, and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match that ambition. You hold yourself to a high—and rising—standard.
• Team spirit. You give generously without expecting reciprocation, support the best idea regardless of ownership, and work reliably, honestly, and transparently.
• Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak English proficiently.

• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. Work in small, result‑oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in the field.
• An exceptional opportunity for growth. We prioritize putting high‑potential individuals in roles where they can thrive and actively contribute to major projects.
• All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited learning and training support, top‑of‑market health insurance, a rich relocation package, generous parental support, and yearly retreats to beautiful locations.
• Competitive pay and equity access. For highly experienced candidates, annual compensation ranges from $257,642 to $411,014 in the US, varying by location and impact. In high‑cost markets such as New York City and San Francisco, compensation will generally be toward the upper end of the range. Exceptional capability may warrant compensation beyond the usual ranges.

Permanent or fixed‑term. Full‑time.

Milan (Italy), London (UK), Warsaw (Poland), Madrid (Spain) or remote in selected countries.

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 teammates. We’ll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. After that, you’re welcome to work from our offices in Milan or London, or remotely from approved countries—depending on what we agree at the offer stage.
