People administration manager

Enterprise HR Acceleration Manager

At Bending Spoons, we’re pursuing one of the most ambitious missions in tech: building a world-class digital enterprise with profound impact on its customers, team members, and shareholders—all while adhering to the highest ethical standards.

By acquiring, transforming, and long-term owning digital businesses, we drive radical innovation, operational excellence, and seamless scalability. With minimal hierarchy and high-density teams, we operate like a startup—fast, agile, and entrepreneurial—while leveraging deep AI integration to amplify human effort.

If you thrive in chaos, ambiguity, and scalability—and believe in problem-solving over process—we’d be excited to meet you.


About the Role

Here, an Administrative Headquarters Manager isn’t just a function; they’re the linchpin that ensures acquisitions, reorganizations, and operational efficiency unfold like clockwork. This is your chance to shape how our businesses transform, teams evolve, and compliance scales—without formulaic repetition, but with first-principles rigor.

You’ll formulate, pilot, and scale administrative operations, resolve unprecedented legal and workforce challenges, and pioneer benefits that redefine talent experiences.

Your work will be boldly forward-leaning, high-leverage, and endlessly rewarding—because no two weeks will look the same.


Your Key Responsibilities

Acquisition & Cross-Jurisdictional Leadership

  • Orchestrate office launches, legal restructuring, and workforce harmonization across acquisitions, ensuring rapid, seamless transitions.
  • Conduct due diligence on local regulatory frameworks and develop global administrative playbooks from scratch.

Process & System Thinking

  • Design, deploy, and fine-tune AI-enabled workflows for onboarding, offboarding, and HR automation—turning manual processes into scalable, auditable systems.
  • Oversee job offer flow, visa coordination, and redemption processes with flawless execution and exceptional candidate experiences.

Compliance & Risk Mitigation

  • Certify expertise in international employment laws, data privacy (e.g., GDPR), and workplace regulations.
  • Collaborate with external legal and compliance experts to tailor policies to local and emerging risks. Our scales of growth mean no playbook answers—just sharp judgment calls.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Who We Need You To Be

We’re looking for a boundary-obliterating strategic thinker—someone who bears ownership for outcomes, sweats first-principles problem-graining, and has no time for conventional hazards. Bring these:

  • Analytical warriors. You spot patterns where others see chaos. Law changes? Unfair computation precedents? Unlisted cost arbitrages? You see the levers and pull them fast.
  • Driven self-motivators. You chase the lagging indicator every day—not because it’s in the KPI, but because it’s driving sustainability.
  • Collaborative warriors. You don’t just listen; you recruit allies, challenge assumptions, and deliver decisively—despite input preferences.
  • A mastery of English. You communicate via sharp, compelling prose and crystal-clear narratives—whether debating strategy or pitching reforms.

We love idea contributors. Ambition is expected.

  • Growth engineered for excellence. We built a path where people listed 2 years ago now own complex elements such as whole new cities' footprints.
  • A homemade learning engine. Your learning and development isn’t athletic enough? We back our teams on next-step capacities—because world-class drafters and资料 are often just developed (but you’d better keep pace).
  • Assurance & support. Parents? High achievers? Seasoned teams? We help you hunker down. Travel stipends wait on the horizon; healthy and safe resides (daycare support!) ahead.
