About the Position
Graduate Product Manager
Milan (Italy), London (UK), Madrid (Spain), Warsaw (Poland), or fully remote from eligible countries
Permanent or fixed-term
Join Bending Spoons as a Graduate Product Manager, where you'll drive innovation and growth in a dynamic, remote-friendly environment.
Responsibilities
- Investigate: Build a deep understanding of your product, its business model, and the drivers behind its growth. Use AI, data, and user research to quickly uncover meaningful opportunities and challenge assumptions.
- Innovate: Combine user insights, market signals, and emerging technologies to identify high-impact initiatives and features. Use modern tools, first-principles reasoning, and your creative insights to explore solution spaces quickly and sharpen product thinking.
- Execute: Turn ideas into impactful features. Prioritize ruthlessly, using data to focus on what truly moves the needle. Own the development process end-to-end, coordinating designers, engineers, and other teammates to build solutions that address users’ most important needs.
- Iterate: Use experimentation and product metrics to understand what works and what doesn’t. Treat every project as a learning loop, using insights from past work to improve the product continuously.
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.
We Offer
- Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams: You’ll work in small, result-oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
- An exceptional opportunity for growth: We go to great lengths to hire individuals of outstanding potential-then, our priority is to put them in the ideal position to thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll soon be playing an essential role in major projects, too.
- All. These. Benefits: Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited backing for learning and training, top-of-the-market health insurance, a rich relocation package, generous parental support, and a yearly retreat to a stunning location. We help each Spooner set up the conditions to do their best work.
- Competitive pay and access to company equity at a discount: Typical annual salary offers range from €66,065 to €316,052. Candidates offered a permanent contract may choose to receive part of their compensation in discounted company equity.
The Selection Process
In our screening process, we prioritize verifiable signals of excellence, regardless of seniority. There are no preferential paths beyond what your application demonstrates, and we evaluate every candidate through the same process.
Some people hold back because they feel they lack experience or have an “imperfect” CV. If you like the role and believe you could excel over time, don’t self-reject.
All applications go through our careers page, which is the only way to be considered. If you pass our screening, you’ll be asked to complete one or more tests. They are challenging, may involve unfamiliar problems, and can take several hours. To learn more about what to expect throughout the selection process, you can find additional information here.
We set the bar high and won’t extend an offer until we’re confident we’ve found the right candidate. This is why a job may remain open for months or be reposted several times.
We consider all applicants for employment and provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities-please let us know through this form.
Before You Apply
If you’ve applied before but didn’t receive an offer, we recommend waiting at least one year before applying again.
Bending Spoons is a demanding environment. We’re extremely ambitious and we hold ourselves-and one another-to a high standard. While this tends to lead to extraordinary learning, achievement, and career growth, it also requires significant commitment.
To help you ramp up quickly and set yourself up for success, we expect you to spend most days in our Milan office during your first few months with us, regardless of your long-term work location. It’s the best way to rapidly absorb our company culture and build trust with your new teammates. We’ll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. After that, you’re welcome to work from one of our offices, or remotely from approved countries-depending on what we agree at the offer stage.
If the role speaks to you and you’re excited to give your best, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now-we can’t wait to meet you.
