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, vantaggi 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 entities, and consolidate financials across jurisdictions—all at a pace that would break most finance teams. We need someone who finds that exciting, not exhausting. This role is for a highly analytical business professional who wants to work on the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from identifying promising opportunities, to evaluating businesses, developing investment recommendations, and helping drive deals to completion. We’re looking for someone who enjoys moving between rigorous analysis and real-world decision‑making, and who is constantly looking for better ways to source, evaluate, and prioritize opportunities.
Responsibilities
- Discover . Identify acquisition opportunities by combining market trends,
sector research, data analysis, and creative sourcing techniques. Separate signal from noise, develop a clear view of each opportunity’s potential, and ensure the most promising opportunities make it into the pipeline.
- Analyze . Build financial models, develop a deep understanding of how businesses create value, and assess the key drivers of growth, risk, and long‑term performance. Transform financial, operational, and market insights into clear investment theses and actionable recommendations that guide high‑stakes capital allocation decisions.
- Negotiate . Engage founders and business owners, build trust, and navigate complex discussions to reach mutually beneficial outcomes. Balance persistence, judgment, and pragmatism to secure attractive terms in competitive situations.
- Improve the machine . Continuously refine how we source, evaluate, and prioritize opportunities. Analyze past decisions, identify patterns, challenge assumptions, and leverage AI, automation and proprietary insights to make the acquisition process smarter, faster, and more effective over time.
Requirements
- 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.
