Position
Currently being one of the top 10 iOS app developers worldwide and the #1 in Europe, at Bending Spoons we're working to build one of the greatest companies ever. Our operations are getting increasingly complex, as we grow at a phenomenal rate pursuing this mission, and our continued success will largely depend on how well we can manage to preserve and even improve on our operational excellence.

- Oversee your team in the organization of our many ambitious events, which span from sumptuous company-wide retreats to large-scale recruiting events

- Keep up to date on relevant regulation, especially with regards to labour and workplace, and provide strategic advice to our management team based on new issues or opportunities
- Develop and maintain optimal relationships with external consultants and contractors and negotiate adequate fees for each service
- Strive to establish the culture, tools, and processes needed to ensure we’re as analytical and data-driven as possible on all of the above

- Common sense. Far from academic, your thinking is always well-grounded in reality
- Eclectic personality. You have a variety of interests, enjoy diversity, and tend to become passionate about just about anything you dig your nose into
- Diligence, organization. You can blindly be entrusted with big responsibilities as well as small tasks. You’re organized and can handle multiple parallel projects and numerous assignments without panicking
- Drive. You’re energetic, hard-working, and persevere through adversity until the job is done, and done well. You get turned on by getting results, and always aim for excellence in what you do

- Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English
- Experience isn’t a requirement. While we definitely value relevant expertise, we’d rather work with a wonderfully talented person that hasn’t managed a team or faced some of the challenges listed above before, than with someone experienced but lacking in some important ways. So, if you think you’ve got it in you to do well in this role, don’t hold back: apply!
