What we offer

By joining a fast-growing company on a mission to become one of the world's greatest, it's an unparalleled opportunity to turbocharge your learning and career prospects.
- Talented, knowledgeable colleagues.
Learn from (and teach) some of the brightest and most skilled people you'll ever meet.
Your talent is going to blossom here.
- Continuous education.
Spooners get unlimited backing for learning investments, including Italian or English lessons and things like courses, conferences, and books.
There's no permission or approval process—you're fully trusted to use the company's resources efficiently.
- People who lift up one another.
We hire for talent and leave the ego at the door.
You'll find a group of truly talented Spooners who are eager to teach their secrets and to learn.
Reciprocal support and respect is everything—you're unlikely to ever encounter a more harmonious crew.
- International reach.
We're a global company, and your work will have worldwide exposure.
- 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.
- Flexible schedule.
Our regular hours are 9-6 GMT+1, but this isn't a "clock in, clock out" company.
You're fully trusted to create the right conditions for your own personal peak productivity.
We only ask that you're available to your teammates a good chunk of the day (six hours or so).
That's why it's generally best to be based somewhere with a similar time zone—between GMT-2 and GMT+3.
- Unlimited time off.
Take all the time you need to be with your family or just recharge your batteries.
There's no maximum number of days off, and there isn't any kind of permission process.
We just ask that you make your vacation decisions mindfully.
- Exciting events.
We care deeply about team spirit and bonding.
That's why our incredible People Operations team organizes awesome events, like team games, drinks, yoga classes, parties, and regular company-wide retreats.
Recent destinations include Bali, Mauritius, and Tanzania.
- Competitive salary and stock options.
