Overview
Join to apply for the Junior office manager role at Bending Spoons.
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.
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 to thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and you could play an essential role in major projects too.
* Competitive pay and access to equity in the company. Start-of-career salaries are location dependent and grow rapidly with impact; some pay may be offered in company equity at a discounted price. Relocation to Italy may include 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.

The 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.
We’re an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. We consider all applicants 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.
Bending Spoons is a demanding environment. We’re extremely ambitious and we hold ourselves—and one another—to a high standard. This tends to lead to extraordinary learning, achievement, and career growth, but requires significant commitment.
To help you ramp up quickly and set yourself up for success, we recommend spending your first few months working from our Milan office, regardless of long-term location. We’ll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. After that, you’re welcome to work from our offices in Milan or London, or remotely from approved countries—depending on what we agree at the offer stage.
If the role speaks to you and you’re excited to give your best, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now—we can’t wait to meet you.
