People administration manager

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 function at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency 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 successful by leveraging our platform—which comprises our expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, and company culture. We combine an investor’s attention to capital allocation with the hands-on approach of an operator.

A few examples of your responsibilities:

• Guide smooth onboarding and offboarding processes, delivering outstanding experiences while handling administrative updates such as contract changes, system updates, and document processing.
• Steer the people side of extraordinary administrative operations including new business acquisitions, internal reorganizations, legal restructuring, and share option plans.
• Manage job-offer processes end-to-end, including monitoring and negotiation, providing relevant information, and supporting international employees with visas and other required documentation.
• Work cross-functionally to develop and implement exceptional employee welfare and benefits initiatives.
• Support new office launches by coordinating the administrative workstream, conducting due diligence on local requirements, and building and maintaining the administrative blueprint.
• Stay up to date with workplace international laws and regulations, ensuring compliance and effective enforcement across our organizations, also in collaboration with external consultants.

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 and 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 and 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Commitment & contract: Permanent or fixed-term. Full-time. Location Milan (Italy), London (UK), Madrid (Spain), Warsaw (Poland) or remote.

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. 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.
