Overview

Join to apply for the Junior employment lawyer 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, operates at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, creates value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate, and 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 combines 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

• Guide smooth onboarding and offboarding processes, delivering outstanding experiences while handling administrative updates such as contract changes, system updates, and document processing.
• Steer the people side of extraordinary administrative operations, including new business acquisitions, internal reorganizations, legal restructuring, and share‑option plans.
• Manage job‑offer processes end‑to‑end, including monitoring and negotiation, providing relevant information, and supporting international employees with visas and other required documentation.
• Work cross‑functionally to develop and implement exceptional employee welfare and benefits initiatives.
• Support new office launches by coordinating the administrative workstream, conducting due diligence on local requirements, and building and maintaining the administrative blueprint.
• Stay up to date with workplace international laws and regulations, ensuring compliance and effective enforcement across our organizations, also in collaboration with external consultants.

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 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 and hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
• Team spirit. You give generously without expectation of return, support the best idea over your own, and are reliable, honest, and transparent. You’re always happy to get your hands dirty to help your team.
• 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 prioritize placing 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 be playing an essential role in major projects.
• Competitive pay and access to equity in the company. Typical compensation ranges: £56,345 (London) to £151,436 (London) or €54,346 to €145,430 (Europe). Compensation varies by location and expected impact, growing rapidly as you gain experience. Permanent contracts may include discounted equity. Relocation to Italy may qualify for a 50% tax cut.
• All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited learning & training support, top‑of‑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.

Commitment & Contract

Permanent or fixed‑term. Full‑time.

Location

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, 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. Therefore, a job may stay open for months or be reposted several times.

Equal‑Opportunity Employer

Bending Spoons is an equal‑opportunity and affirmative action employer. We consider any applicant for employment 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 hold ourselves—and one another—to a high standard. While this leads 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.
