Join to apply for the Trust & safety strategist role at Bending Spoons.

At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies—a company that serves a huge number of customers, where team members grow to their full potential, functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, creates value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate, and adheres to high ethical standards. Our strategy is to acquire digital businesses with untapped potential, leverage our platform (expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, culture), invest proceeds for greater power, and acquire new businesses, combining investor capital allocation with an operator’s hands‑on approach.

A few examples of your responsibilities

• Enhance user safety by monitoring emerging threats and abuse patterns, studying compliance and regulatory requirements, and ensuring seamless integration into products loved by millions.
• Implement our Trust & Safety framework by adapting best practices to product‑specific risks, collaborating with Product and Engineering teams to embed safety into features and workflows.
• Cooperate with moderation teams, ensuring clarity on evolving policies, streamlining moderation processes, and personally handling critical or sensitive escalations when necessary.

What we look for

• Reasoning ability. You solve complex problems from first principles, structure your ideas sharply, resist biases, and care for the details that matter.
• Drive. You’re ambitious, self‑motivated, and hold yourself to a rising, high bar that matches your ambition.
• Team spirit. You give generically, support the best idea, and help the team without expecting return; you’re reliable, honest, and transparent.
• Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak English proficiently.

What we offer

• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. Small, result‑oriented autonomous teams with the brightest people in the field.
• An exceptional opportunity for growth. We hire high‑potential individuals and place them in roles to thrive, with Spooners in their 20s leading products worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
• Competitive pay and equity. Typical starting salary is £41,255 in London and €39,892 elsewhere in Europe; compensation varies by location and impact and grows rapidly. Permanent contracts offer some pay in company equity at a discounted price. Relocating to Italy allows a 50% tax cut.
• All benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited learning support, top‑market health insurance, rich relocation package, generous parental support, yearly retreats, and more.
