Your mission: Build extraordinary products that customers can’t live without.
Since launching in 2013, Bending Spoons has served around half a billion people across the globe through our suite of cutting-edge products. Still, we’ve only just crossed the starting line on our mission to make an enduring positive impact on our customers, on our fellow Spooners, and on society at large. With our product line improving and expanding and our sights set on becoming one of the greatest companies the world’s ever seen, we’re committed to raising the bar on our strategic product management. That’s why we’re looking for that single-minded someone who’s obsessed with building extraordinary, enormously impactful high-value products. You need to come expecting lots of hard work, massive development, and great responsibility.
Investigate the world through the customers’ eyes with the goal of understanding them and solving their problems. This entails extensive customer, market, and competitor research as well as close collaboration with our customer support team in the hunt for improvements and opportunities.
Study and improve the business model of your product, prioritizing initiatives with the highest potential to unlock significant value. Push teammates to do the same, so that as a group you realize the greatest ideation and implementation power possible.
Know your product’s numbers inside out and continuously analyze the data to solidly support your decision making.
Distill all the inputs into a strategy and a roadmap for your product, marrying wild ambition with rationality and pragmatism. Plan carefully and guide all stakeholders in executing the vision.
Deeply evaluate and ponder the impact of your experiments and initiatives and follow up on them to iterate an always-better product strategy.
A burning ambition to build amazing products. You’re obsessed with building extraordinary products that unlock business value and that customers just can't live without.

Curiosity and initiative. You love exploring, and are forever hunting down new opportunities and testing fresh ideas. Rather than waiting to be told what to do, you go seek.
Tenacity. Once you have a goal, there’s no stopping you! Failure doesn’t discourage you—after every stumble, you get right back up and try again.
Common sense. Your judgment and intuition are sound and well grounded in reality.
Pragmatism. Far from being too academic or obsessive in your perfectionism, you understand that speed is often as important as quality when getting things done in a competitive world.

Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

Real impact. We automate most menial tasks, freeing you up to focus your expertise where it can make the biggest impact.

Remote working. Spend as much or as little time in our Milan office as you choose. Many Spooners like to change up their environment and get out of the city whenever the mood strikes. You’ve always got the freedom to decide where today’s office is.
Competitive salary and stock options. Our compensation package is highly competitive, and can grow rapidly and include stock options, depending on your performance and seniority.
If you successfully pass through our screening process, we’ll invite you to take on a few tests that assess how you approach and solve unfamiliar problems. If you’re successful there, we’ll invite you to take part in some interviews. We welcome applications in English and Italian. Bending Spoons is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.
