About 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, functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, and creates value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate while adhering to high ethical standards.
Our strategy: 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. We then invest the proceeds into boosting 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 your career at an exceptionally high rate. That’s our promise to such a candidate.
Responsibilities 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, structure your ideas sharply, resist bias, and attend to critical details.
Drive.
You’re extremely ambitious and match your initiative, effort, and tenacity with the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work and hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.

Fluent English and Italian.
You can read and write fluently in both languages.

Work in small, result‑oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
An exceptional opportunity for growth.

Competitive pay.
Our pay packages attract and retain top professionals. This position offers a competitive, top‑of‑industry salary that grows rapidly with experience and impact.
Commitment & contract Permanent or fixed‑term. Full‑time.

The selection process If you pass our screening, we’ll ask you to take on a few tests designed to assess how you approach unfamiliar problems. They’re challenging and may take several hours to complete. If you’re successful, 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. That’s why a job may stay open for months or be reposted several times.
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.
Equal Opportunity Bending Spoons is an equal‑opportunity and affirmative‑action employer. We consider all applicants and provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities—just let us know through our form.
Before you apply If you’ve applied before but didn’t receive an offer, we recommend waiting at least one year before applying again.
Bending Spoons is a demanding environment. We’re extremely ambitious and hold ourselves—and one another—to a high standard. While this tends to lead to extraordinary learning, achievement, and career growth, it also requires significant commitment.
To help you ramp up quickly and set yourself up for success, 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 rapidly absorb our company culture and build trust with your new 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.
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.
