People administration manager

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, benefit 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.

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.

We close on acquisitions, restructure legal entities, and harmonize workforces across jurisdictions—often simultaneously, and always at pace. Every business we acquire comes with its own employment framework and organizational complexities—none with a ready-made playbook. You’ll spend far more time navigating new challenges than following established routines, and the situations you’ll face will regularly demand judgment over process. If figuring it out as you go sounds more exciting than daunting, this is the right place for you.Responsibilities
