Junior Office Manager
Join to apply for the Junior 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, where team members grow to their full potential, functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, and creates value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate 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.
With offices in Milan and London, we’re now looking for office managers who’ll turn these spaces into the most 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.
Qualifications
* 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 go to great lengths to hire individuals of outstanding potential—then, our priority is to 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 be playing an essential role in major projects, too.
* Competitive pay and access to equity in the company. Typically, we offer individuals at the start of their career a salary of £45,860 in London and €43,927 elsewhere in Europe. Compensation varies by location and expected impact, and grows rapidly as you gain experience and translate it into greater contributions. You can also receive some of your pay in company equity at a discounted price, thus participating in the value creation we achieve together. If relocating to Italy, you may enjoy a 50 % tax cut.
* 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.

Location
Milan (Italy), London (UK).
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.
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.
