Junior communications manager
role at
Bending Spoons
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.
To achieve this objective, we execute the following strategy: We acquire a digital business with untapped potential and make it as successful as we can by leveraging our platform—which comprises our expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, and company culture. Then, we invest the proceeds into making our platform more powerful, and into acquiring new businesses. Thus, our strategy sees us combine an investor’s attention to capital allocation with the hands-on approach of an operator.
For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate. That’s our promise to such a candidate.
Responsibilities
Take full ownership of the communication strategy for our products, and partner with development teams to distill their work into impactful messaging for external audiences.
Craft compelling content—from social media posts and blog articles to in-app messages and emails—that keeps users updated and excited about our products.
Go beyond the written word and leverage videos, visuals, and multimedia formats to increase engagement, strengthen brand identity, and keep our communities informed and involved.
Manage our presence in online communities, address questions and concerns, and strengthen the overall perception of our products and brand.
Stay ahead of the curve by actively monitoring industry trends and best practices, regularly bringing fresh ideas to improve our messaging and brand presence.
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.
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.

All. These. Benefits.
Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited learning support, comprehensive health insurance, a generous relocation package, parental support, and a yearly retreat to a remarkable location. We help each Spooner set up conditions to do their best work.

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.

This is why a job may stay open for months or be reposted several times. We believe talent can come from diverse backgrounds, and we welcome applicants who think they could excel with time and effort. 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.

Bending Spoons is a demanding environment. We’re extremely ambitious and we hold ourselves—and one another—to a high standard. While this tends to lead to extraordinary learning, achievement, and career growth, it also 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 your long-term work 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.
