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. In pursuit of this objective, we acquire and improve digital businesses, not to sell on, but to own and operate for the long term.

The transformations we make are often deep—designed to speed up innovation, vantaggi customers, and strengthen business performance. Here, hierarchy is minimal and teams are small and talent-dense. We operate established products with the ambition, agility, and urgency of a startup.

Across the company, we integrate AI deeply into how we work so that human judgment and machine intelligence reinforce each other. Support our acquisitions. Support and advise our Accounting, Finance, and Business Acquisitions team on cross-border acquisitions, conducting due diligence, analysing and drafting transaction documents, and following post-completion integrations.

Collaborate with our Finance team to manage debt and equity financing and investments, as well as equity plans and instruments. Draft and negotiate contracts. Handle cross-border commercial contracts with vendors and customers—initial drafting and review of confidentiality, consulting, licensing, SaaS, and other technology-related agreements, while applying your judgment to validate terms and manage risk.

Build scalable legal tools. Create and maintain forms, playbooks, and other tools—integrating AI-powered workflows to support the company's high-growth business.



Monitor legal and regulatory developments and proactively identify opportunities to unlock value and address evolving business needs.

Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You support the best idea, not your idea. Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English. Some experience. After obtaining a law degree, you practiced at a law firm or as in-house counsel for a period of time, in which you encountered some of the main challenges you'll face in the role.

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. 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.

Competitive pay and access to company equity at a discount. Typically, we offer individuals with limited experience an annual salary of £85,797 in London and €66,065 elsewhere in Europe. For a candidate that we assess as possessing considerable relevant experience,



the salary on offer tends to be between £112,189 and £250,512 in London, and €107,837 and €188,848 elsewhere in Europe.

Compensation varies by location and expected impact, and grows rapidly as you gain experience and translate it into greater contributions. If you're offered a permanent contract, you'll also be able to 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.

Commitment & contract Permanent or fixed‐term. Full‐time. Milan (Italy), London (UK), Madrid (Spain), Warsaw (Poland), or fully remote from eligible countries. Some people hold back because they feel they lack experience or have an "imperfect" CV.

If you like the role and believe you could excel over time, don't self‐reject. To learn more about what to expect throughout the selection process, you can find additional information here. We set the bar high and won't extend an offer until we're confident we've found the right candidate.

We consider all applicants for employment and provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities—please let us know through this form. If you've applied before but didn't receive an offer, we recommend waiting at least one year before applying again. To help you ramp up quickly and set yourself up for success, we expect you to spend most days in our Milan office during your first few months with us, regardless of your long‐term work location.

It's the best way to rapidly absorb our company culture and build trust with your new teammates. We'll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. After that, you're welcome to work from one of our offices, or remotely from approved countries—depending on what we agree at the offer stage.
