Job description

Overview

Evernote is a note-taking and organization platform used by millions of users for powerful note taking, project planning, personal knowledge management, and more. Now part of Bending Spoons, it plays a key role in a portfolio of outstanding digital businesses united by a shared focus on innovation and operational excellence. By applying through the Evernote brand, you’ll be stepping into the wider Bending Spoons team. You may work directly on Evernote or contribute to one of our other leading products. Either way, you’ll be part of a high-performing, collaborative environment where you can make a real impact.

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.

Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of the communication strategy for our products, and partner with development teams to distill their work into impactful messaging for external audiences.
• Craft compelling content—from social media posts and blog articles to in-app messages and emails—that keeps users updated and excited about our products.
• Go beyond the written word and leverage videos, visuals, and multimedia formats to increase engagement, strengthen brand identity, and keep our communities informed and involved.
• Manage our presence in online communities, address questions and concerns, and strengthen the overall perception of our products and brand.
• Stay ahead of the curve by actively monitoring industry trends and best practices, regularly bringing fresh ideas to improve our messaging and brand presence.

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

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 hire individuals of outstanding potential and place them in positions to thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and high performers quickly take on major projects.
• Competitive pay and equity. Typically, a starting salary of £45,860 in the UK or €43,927 elsewhere, with rapid increases as experience grows. Equity options at a discounted price may be available. If relocating to Italy, you may benefit from a 50% tax cut.
• All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited learning support, top-tier health insurance, a generous relocation package, parental support, and an annual retreat to a stunning location. We help each Spooner set up the conditions to do their best work.

Commitment & contract

Permanent or fixed-term. Full-time.

Location

Milan (Italy), London (UK) or remote.

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 with those, 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. This is 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 employment opportunity

Bending Spoons is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. We consider for employment any applicant and provide reasonable accommodations for an individual with disabilities—just let us know through this 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 we 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. 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.
