About Bending Spoons
Bending Spoons is a fast-growing tech company focused on building and marketing mobile applications. Despite being such a young company, we've already achieved notable results, with tens of millions of downloads of our apps, and millions of users active every month. Far from being satisfied, we look with excitement at the future, and believe that through smart and hard work we’ll accomplish much more.
Position
At Bending Spoons, we've got our sights set on becoming one of the greatest companies in history. Our product line is rapidly increasing in size and quality as we pursue our mission, and we aim to bring it to a whole new level by pushing the boundaries of mobile marketing. That’s why we're looking for an imaginative, tenacious, and committed product marketer who lives and breathes growth strategy.
A few examples of your responsibilities:
- Develop and test product marketing strategies (pricing, advertising, launching products), to understand how to help our products flourish to their full, market-leading potential
- Manage marketing activities already underway (including performance marketing, contests, re-engagement, and more) to keep our campaigns resonant, successful, and capable of enhancing each product’s brand
- Contribute to product development, proposing ways to make the overall customer funnel more successful and suggesting new features that would make the product easier to market
- Intensely study the market and competition to improve our understanding and identify new strategies for our products
- Share tests and strategies that take into account continuously changing factors, making sure that we proceed in the most meaningful, impactful direction
Your qualification
- Drive and tenacity. You’re hard-working, motivated to make a big impact, and you persevere through adversity until the job is done—and done wonderfully. You’re results-oriented and always aim for excellence in what you do
- Interest in marketing. You have a keen interest in all things marketing
- Sky-high sights. You're all about contributing to the growth of the products in your care and are excited about attempting whatever’s necessary to make it happen
- Logical-analytical abilities. You’re a quick learner who can investigate and effectively pick up new concepts on your own. You can solve unforeseen challenges with creativity and structure, and can do so independently
- Common sense. Rather than being heavy on the academic and light on the pragmatic, your thinking is practical and rooted in reality
- Communication. Your communication, both written and oral, is structured and crystal clear
- Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English
What we offer
- Huge impact. You’ll run some of our product marketing strategies with full responsibility. Your work can seriously impact Bending Spoons, millions of users, and even the mobile app industry at large in the next few years
- Autonomy. You’ll be responsible for the marketing strategy, and no one will micromanage you. Together with your team, you’ll be free to choose a direction, test, fail, and test the next idea
- Top-notch team. You’ll be surrounded by some of the brightest and nicest folks you’ve ever worked with, and you’ll be able to tap into Bending Spoons’ experience with building many market-leading mobile apps. Here, you’ll learn at the speed of light
- Unique career opportunity. By joining a fast-growing company that sets out to become one of the world's greatest within the vast, booming mobile market, you get a special chance to turbocharge your learning and career
- Continuous education. We pay for your Italian/English language lessons, but that’s not where it ends. If you make a good case for some extra learning, we’re delighted to foot the tab
- The finest tools. You get the best hardware on the market and all the software you could need. We can't wait to introduce you to our high-tech approach and cutting-edge workflows
- Remote working. Spend as much or as little time in our Milan office as you choose (even no time at all, if you’d prefer). Many Spooners like to change up their environment and get out of the city whenever the mood strikes. Every day, you’ve got the freedom to decide where today’s office is
- Flexible schedule. Our regular hours are 9-6 GMT+1, but this isn’t a “clock in, clock out” company. Morning person? Start work while the world’s still sleeping. Night owl? Ramp things up while others are winding down. You’re fully trusted to create the right conditions for your own personal peak productivity. We only ask that you’re available to your teammates a good chunk of the day. That’s why it’s generally best to be based somewhere with a similar time zone—between GMT-2 and GMT+3
- Unlimited vacations. Take all the time you need to recharge your batteries—no permission process or vacation allowance here. Because a rested, relaxed, and refreshed Spooner is a happy and effective Spooner
- Lots. Of. Fun. Our incredible People Operations team organizes awesome events, such as team games, drinks, yoga classes, parties, and regular company-wide retreats. Recent destinations include Bali, Argentina, and Tanzania
- Top-of-the-market salary and stock options in a tech rocket ship. Our total compensation is very competitive and can grow rapidly and include stock options, depending on your performance
- Milan, Italy, or fully remote if you can’t (or don’t want to) relocate. If you choose the on-site option, keep in mind that it’s still fine to sometimes work remotely. We also offer substantial support for relocation, including finding an apartment in Milan and paying the rent for 12 weeks

The Recruiting Process
If you successfully pass through our screening process, we'll invite you to take on a few tests aimed at assessing how you think and solve possibly unfamiliar problems. These tests don't require any prior knowledge, and they should take you a few hours to complete. If you're successful there, we'll invite you to some interviews—normally two or three—to get to know each other and figure out if it’s a good fit for both parties. There, we'll ask you some behavioral and problem-solving questions. The interviews are held remotely. To limit arbitrariness and human bias, Bending Spoons' hiring decisions are made by a hiring committee.
