Content strategist

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, and which functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency. We create value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate while adhering to high ethical standards.

To achieve this objective we acquire digital businesses with untapped potential and make them successful by leveraging our platform—our expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, and culture. The proceeds are reinvested to strengthen our platform and acquire new businesses, blending a strategic approach to capital allocation with hands‑on operational execution.

Responsibilities

• Identify emerging trends, conceptualise and craft bold content that captures the audience’s attention. Own every step of the process—brainstorming, planning, collaborating, publishing, and analysing performance—to ensure each piece performs impeccably.
• Leverage data to track performance, monitor competitors, and uncover actionable insights. Continuously refine strategies to maximise impact and drive growth.
• Partner with creatives to ensure high‑quality execution of media requests. Prioritise initiatives with the greatest potential, keeping the team focused on delivering exceptional results.
• Play a crucial role in marketing efforts by mastering campaign management and creative analysis. Drive testing, learning and scaling initiatives essential to achieving continuous growth for our team and products.

What we look for

• Reasoning ability. You solve complex problems from first principles, structure your ideas sharply, resist biases, and focus on details that matter.
• Drive. You are extremely ambitious, taking initiative, effort and tenacity with a high—and rising—bar of responsibility.
• Team spirit. You give generously without expectation of return, support the best idea over your own, are reliable, honest and transparent, and enjoy getting your hands dirty to help the team.
• Proficiency in English. You read, write and speak English proficiently.

What we offer

• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. Work in small, result‑oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
• An exceptional opportunity for growth. We hire high‑potential individuals and place them in roles that allow them to thrive quickly—into major projects and core product ownership.
• Competitive pay and equity. Typical salaries include £45,860 in London or €43,927 elsewhere in Europe, with rapid growth as you gain experience. Equity at a discounted price can also be part of your compensation.
• Benefits. Flexible hours, remote work options, unlimited learning budget, top‑market health insurance, generous parental support, relocation packages, a yearly retreat to a stunning location, and more.
