Graduate Privacy Counsel (AI And Product)

Join to apply for the Graduate Privacy Counsel (AI And Product) role at Bending Spoons

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 where we function at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency.

To achieve this objective, we acquire digital businesses with untapped potential, make them as successful as we can by leveraging our platform – our expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, and company culture – and then invest the proceeds into making our platform more powerful and acquiring new businesses. Our 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 is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate. If you’re still studying or completing your legal traineeship, we’re happy to wait until you’re done if the selection process goes well.

A few examples of your responsibilities

• Partner with cross‑functional teams—including Product, Engineering, and Security—to provide strategic privacy advice, embed privacy‑by‑design principles, and translate regulatory requirements into practical technical solutions.
• Identify privacy risks and opportunities proactively—helping to shape privacy‑compliant tools, features, and workflows early in the development process and promoting continuous improvement in data protection practices.
• Manage all privacy‑related legal work—including drafting and reviewing data processing agreements (DPAs), privacy policies, legitimate interest assessments (LIAs), and data protection impact assessments (DPIAs)—to ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
• Conduct internal and external privacy audits and oversee relationships with external privacy consultants and legal advisors, coordinating inputs across business functions and ensuring alignment on key decisions.
• Monitor evolving privacy regulations, case law, and best practices, and communicate relevant insights internally to ensure ongoing compliance and strategic alignment.

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 the influence of biases, and identify 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 and hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
• Team spirit. You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return, support the best idea, not your idea, and 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 go to great lengths to hire individuals of outstanding potential—then put them in the ideal position to thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll soon play an essential role in major projects, too.
• Competitive pay and access to equity in the company. Compensation varies by location and expected impact, grows rapidly as you gain experience, and for exceptional capability can extend beyond the usual ranges. If you’re offered a permanent contract, you’ll also be able to receive some of your pay in company equity at a discounted price, participating in the value creation we achieve together.
• All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited backing for learning and training, top‑of‑the‑market health insurance, a rich relocation package, generous parental support, and a yearly retreat to a stunning location. We help each Spooner set up the conditions to do their best work.

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

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.

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. 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.
