Descrizione del lavoro

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, operates at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, creates extraordinary value for shareholders, and adheres to high ethical standards.

To achieve this objective, we acquire digital businesses with untapped potential and grow them by leveraging our platform—comprising expertise, technologies, data, brand, talent, and company culture. We then invest proceeds into making the platform more powerful and acquiring new businesses, combining capital‑allocation discipline with hands‑on operational involvement.

A few examples of your responsibilities

• Due diligence and post‑M&A integration. Oversee financial and tax due diligence for acquisitions and related restructuring activities. Support and lead post‑M&A integration, ensuring smooth financial, operational, and reporting alignment.
• Accounting, reporting and financial planning. Prepare accurate financial statements and reports, maintaining precision across all financial records. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to manage budgets, align spending, and achieve financial objectives.
• Investor relations and fundraising support. Help prepare board meetings and minutes. Own financing to support M&A, engaging with banks, investors and institutional stakeholders.
• Compliance. Ensure accuracy and compliance of financial statements with accounting standards, tax regulations and fiscal requirements. Establish and enhance internal controls to ensure financial integrity and operational efficiency. Facilitate both external and internal audit processes.
• Equity plans. Optimize and manage our equity plans, ensuring effective implementation. Provide support to Spooners by addressing questions and requests related to their equity plans.
• Fiscal optimization. Identify fiscal incentives and design the group’s inter‑company flow strategy.

What we look for

• Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, structure ideas sharply and resist biases. You pay attention to detail.
• Drive. You’re extremely ambitious and your initiative, effort and tenacity match that ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work and hold yourself to a high, rising bar.
• Team spirit. You give generously without expecting anything in return. You support the best idea, not necessarily your own, and you’re ready to get hands dirty for the 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. Work in small, autonomous teams alongside the brightest people in the 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 if you have what it takes you’ll soon take on essential roles in major projects.
• Competitive pay and access to equity. Typical salaries range from £85,797 in London to €66,065 elsewhere, rising to £112,189–£250,512 in London or €107,837–€188,848 elsewhere for experienced candidates. Compensation grows with impact and may exceed the usual ranges for exceptional capability. Permanent contracts include discounted equity and a 50% tax cut for relocation to Italy.
• All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited learning and training, top‑of‑market health insurance, a generous relocation package, parental support and an annual retreat to a stunning location.

Before you apply
