Description du poste

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. In pursuit of this objective, we acquire and improve digital businesses, not to sell on, but to own and operate for the long term. The transformations we make are often deep—designed to speed up innovation, benefit customers, and strengthen business performance. Here, hierarchy is minimal and teams are small and talent-dense. We operate established products with the ambition, agility, and urgency of a startup. Across the company, we integrate AI deeply into how we work so that human judgment and machine intelligence reinforce each other. 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. In this role, you’ll manage and optimize the company’s U.S. tax responsibilities, ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local laws. You’ll oversee all tax activities, support key business decisions, and maintain full regulatory adherence. A valid CPA (Certified Public Accountant) license or Enrolled Agent (EA) credential is required to represent the company before the IRS.

A few examples of your responsibilities

• Support U.S. federal, state, and local tax compliance, including corporate income, franchise, sales and use, and other applicable taxes.
• Calculate tax liabilities, prepare and file U.S. tax returns, and manage tax matters related to equity plans, employees, and contractor arrangements.
• Ensure the proper U.S. tax treatment of employee benefits, compensation, and welfare programs.
• Support tax due diligence and integration work for acquisitions.
• Assist with interactions with the IRS, state tax authorities, and external tax advisors.

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—or 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.

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 impact. You’ll play a key role in shaping the future of a company with sky-high ambitions—and the track record to match.
• Lead the US expansion of one of Europe’s most successful tech companies. Bending Spoons has earned a strong reputation for its strategy, expertise, culture, and talent. As a leader, you’ll help guide a company valued at several billion toward even greater success.
• Competitive pay and access to company equity at a discount. Typically, we offer individuals with limited experience an annual salary of $204,281 in the United States. For candidates we assess as possessing exceptional potential and highly unusual achievement, compensation typically ranges $257,642 to $522,120. Compensation varies by location and expected impact. In higher-cost markets such as New York City, offers are generally positioned toward the upper end of the range. As you grow your expertise and increase your contributions, your compensation can grow rapidly alongside your impact.

Permanent. Full-time.

Location

Atlanta (GA), Miami (FL), New York (NY), or fully remote from United States.

The selection process

In our screening process, we prioritize verifiable signals of excellence, regardless of seniority. There are no preferential paths beyond what your application demonstrates, and we evaluate every candidate through the same process.

We set the bar high and won’t extend an offer until we’re confident we’ve found the right candidate. This is why a job may remain open for months or be reposted several times.

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 expect you to spend most days in our Milan office during your first few months with us, 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 one of our offices, or remotely from approved countries—depending on what we agree at the offer stage.
