Overview

Join to apply for the Office manager 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. 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. We execute a strategy to acquire digital businesses with untapped potential and make them successful by leveraging our platform, then reinvest proceeds to strengthen the platform and acquire new businesses. This combines an investor’s capital allocation with an operator’s hands-on approach. For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress rapidly. With offices in Milan and London, we’re looking for office managers who’ll turn these spaces into welcoming, efficient, and inspiring places to work.

Responsibilities

• Keep the office in top shape—clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything Spooners need to thrive.
• Manage daily logistics—from deliveries and supplies to catering and maintenance—ensuring everything runs like clockwork.
• Oversee access and safety—handling temporary passes, emergency procedures, and security checks with care and precision.
• Troubleshoot and resolve facilities issues quickly—maintaining seamless functionality across the workspace.
• Proactively enhance the workplace experience—spotting opportunities, challenging the status quo, and driving creative improvements.

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.
• On-site presence. You’ll fulfill your role from the office each day, contributing in person to the team’s goals.
• 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 where they can thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars and, if you have what it takes, you’ll contribute to major projects.
• Competitive pay and access to equity in the company. Typically, a starting salary is £45,860 in the UK and €43,927 elsewhere. Pay grows with experience and impact. Some pay may be offered in company equity, and relocating to Italy may offer a 50% tax cut.
• All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited support for learning and training, top-tier health insurance, a generous relocation package, parental support, and an annual retreat to a stunning location.

Commitment & contract

Permanent or fixed-term. Full-time.

Location
