Join to apply for the Junior Finance 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.
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 sees us combine 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.
A few examples of your responsibilities
* Accounting. Prepare accurate financial statements and reports, maintaining precision across all financial records. Review and evaluate financial transactions to ensure compliance with generally accepted accounting principles.
* Financial planning, reporting, and control. Prepare comprehensive financial reports that provide insights into performance and adherence to fiscal policies. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to manage budgets, align spending, and achieve financial objectives.
* Financial due diligence and investor relations. Contribute to the financial evaluation of target companies. Oversee financial and tax due diligence for acquisitions and related restructuring activities. Prepare documentation for board meetings and foster relationships with banks, investors, and institutional stakeholders.
* Audit preparation. Establish and enhance internal controls to ensure financial integrity and operational efficiency. Facilitate both external and internal audit processes.
* Equity plans. Optimize and manage our equity plans, ensuring effective implementation. Provide support to Spooners by addressing questions and requests related to their equity plans.
* Fiscal optimization. Identify fiscal incentives and design the group’s intercompany flow strategy.
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.
* 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 an individual at the start of their career a salary of £66,779 in the UK and €63,965 elsewhere. If they possess a few years of relevant experience, the salary on offer tends to be between £110,389 and £149,636 in the UK, and €105,737 and €143,330 elsewhere. Pay grows rapidly as you accumulate experience and translate it into greater impact. 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.
