Overview
Join to apply for the Chief Of Staff To The CEO (People) role at Bending Spoons.
In this role, following an intensive 6- to 12-month training period (likely as a talent manager, people operations manager or people administration manager), you’ll directly support the leadership team in decision-making and execution when it comes to people strategy, talent management, and organizational development. Your exact responsibilities will depend on the priorities of the Talent, People Operations, and People Administration teams and may vary widely. What will remain constant, however, is the highly hands-on nature of the work—you’ll be deeply involved in the day-to-day challenges that matter most.
Recent graduates and early-career professionals with outstanding credentials are especially encouraged to apply.

* Represent the CEO in people forums, e.g., attend leadership calibration sessions or HR strategy reviews—ask probing questions, summarize outcomes, and flag decisions.
* Dive into operational challenges, e.g., refine visa/relocation processes, streamline onboarding, or coordinate with Legal and Finance to improve employment policies.
