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. 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: first, 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. This strategy combines an investor’s focus on capital allocation with the hands-on approach of an operator.

For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons offers an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate. That’s our promise to such a candidate.

After an intensive training period of six to twelve months, you’ll assume a leadership role—either as the sole leader or co-leader—of a business unit generating revenue in the tens of millions of dollars, with potential to increase responsibility to the hundreds of millions over time. You’ll report directly to our CEO.

This leadership position is open to individuals with an outstanding track record of performance and growth, even without a decade of experience. We seek candidates who have previously led high-performing teams and have backgrounds in entrepreneurial ventures, investment banking, or technology. Excellent references from reputable professionals are essential.

Responsibilities include:

• Developing and executing bold, data-informed strategies focused on unlocking new value for the company.
• Leading a high-performing, talented team, making tough decisions to uphold excellence when necessary.
• Operating at the industry’s forefront, contributing to our status as a top-rated employer in tech and finance, with products used by hundreds of millions.

What we look for:

• Leadership experience in challenging roles, demonstrating exceptional performance and growth.
• Ambition and initiative, with a high level of effort, tenacity, and responsibility.
• Strong reasoning skills, ability to solve complex problems, and attention to detail.
• Team spirit, reliability, honesty, and transparency.
• Proficiency in English, reading, writing, and speaking.

What we offer:

• An exceptional growth opportunity, with early leadership roles in major projects.
• Work in small, autonomous teams with talented professionals.
• Competitive salary, company equity, and benefits including flexible hours, remote work, health insurance, relocation support, parental support, and retreats.

Before you apply:

Bending Spoons is a demanding environment that requires commitment and high standards. If you’re enthusiastic about the role and ready to give your best, we encourage you to apply.

The selection process:

Applicants passing our initial screening will undertake problem-solving tests, followed by interviews. We are an equal opportunity employer, providing accommodations for applicants with disabilities. We value talent over experience, so if you believe you can excel in this role, please apply.
