At Bending Spoons, we've got our sights set on becoming one of the greatest companies the world’s ever seen. And with our product line improving and expanding rapidly, we’re striving to raise the bar when it comes to strategic product growth strategies. That’s why we’re seeking to bring on board someone who is imaginative, tenacious, and possesses a relentless determination to propel our products to unparalleled success.

A few examples of your responsibilities

  • Develop and test product growth strategies (including pricing, advertising, and product launches) to help our products and brands flourish to their full, market-leading potential.
  • Manage existing growth activities (including performance marketing, contests, re-engagement, and more) to keep our campaigns resonant, successful, and capable of enhancing the brand of each product.
  • Work on measurement strategy to monitor performance, with the help of our talented engineers and data analysts.
  • Contribute to product development, proposing improvements to the customer funnel and suggesting new features that would make each product more marketable.
  • Study the market and competition intensely, and identify new strategies to help our products and brands reach ever-increasing heights.
  • Design tests and strategies that account for every conceivable scenario, making sure that we proceed in the most effective direction.

What we look for

  • Drive. Your dedication matches the intensity of your ambition. You’re willing to put in the hard work necessary to achieve your goals, and the highly demanding challenges in your track record are proof of your relentless spirit.
  • Logical-analytical abilities. You’re able to objectively evaluate complex information, arguments, and situations. You’re used to applying logical deduction to tackle sophisticated problems, and this has often allowed you to solve difficult intellectual challenges.
  • Passion. You have a genuine love for the field. You investigate the subject extensively and are always up to date with the latest developments.
  • Indisputable excellence. Your academic or professional career is marked by a series of remarkable accomplishments. You have habitually achieved superior outcomes in your chosen fields and are continually seeking ways to outperform the expectations set for you.
  • Curiosity and initiative. Rather than waiting to be told what to do, you’re forever hunting down new opportunities and testing fresh ideas. You’ve consistently and actively participated in independent projects, and you’re an endless source of innovative ideas.
  • Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

What we offer

  • An exceptional opportunity for growth. The majority of new Spooners didn’t expect to be trusted with so many responsibilities right from the start—and to be able to leverage them to explore the full extent of their potential. You’ll immediately start working in small, results-driven teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field. You’ll see Spooners in their 20s leading businesses worth hundreds of millions. And if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll soon be playing an essential role in major projects. We also do everything we can to offer a comprehensive spectrum of learning opportunities. Nothing but your drive, passion, and talent will determine how much and how fast you can grow.
  • Competitive pay and access to equity in the company. Typically, we offer an individual at the start of their career a salary of £54,545 in the UK and €52,246 elsewhere. If they possess a few years of relevant experience, the salary on offer tends to be between £66,779 and £149,636 in the UK, and €63,965 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, unrestricted remote working from European timezones, unlimited backing for learning and training, top-of-the-market health insurance, a highly supportive relocation package, generous parental support, and yearly retreats to stunning locations. We encourage Spooners to use these benefits and many more to create the conditions to do their best work.
