Graduate Privacy Counsel (AI And Product)

Join to apply for the Graduate Privacy Counsel (AI And Product) role at Bending Spoons.

At Bending Spoons, we are committed to building a high‑performing company that serves a large customer base, fosters personal growth, and upholds top ethical standards. Our strategy is to acquire digital businesses with strong potential, empower them with our platform—comprising expertise, technology, data, brand, talent, and culture—and then invest to scale and acquire new businesses. This approach blends strategic capital allocation with hands‑on operational execution.

A few examples of your responsibilities

• Partner with cross‑functional teams—Product, Engineering, and Security—to provide strategic privacy advice, embed privacy‑by‑design principles, and translate regulatory requirements into practical technical solutions.
• Identify privacy risks and opportunities proactively, shaping privacy‑compliant tools, features, and workflows early in the development process and promoting continuous improvement in data protection practices.
• Manage all privacy‑related legal work—including drafting and reviewing data processing agreements (DPAs), privacy policies, legitimate interest assessments (LIAs), and data protection impact assessments (DPIAs)—to ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
• Conduct internal and external privacy audits and oversee relationships with external privacy consultants and legal advisors, coordinating inputs across business functions and ensuring alignment on key decisions.
• Monitor evolving privacy regulations, case law, and best practices, and communicate relevant insights internally to ensure ongoing compliance and strategic alignment.

What we look for

• Reasoning ability. You solve complex problems, think from first principles, structure ideas logically, resist biases, and focus on critical details.
• Drive. You are highly ambitious, take initiative, exert effort and tenacity, and hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
• Team spirit. You give generously, support the best idea rather than your own, are reliable, honest, and transparent, and are happy to get your hands dirty for the team.
• Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak English at a proficient level.

What 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 and place them in the ideal role 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.
• Competitive pay and access to equity. Compensation varies by location and expected impact, and grows rapidly as you gain experience. Typical salaries are £83,997 in London and €63,965 elsewhere in Europe for early‑career candidates; for those with considerable experience the range is £110,389–£194,964 in London and €105,737–€186,748 elsewhere in Europe. You can also receive equity at a discounted price.
• 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.

The selection process

If you pass our screening, we’ll ask you to take on a few tests designed to assess how you approach unfamiliar problems. They’re challenging and may take several hours to complete. If you’re successful with those, we’ll invite you to a series of interviews. We set the bar high and won’t extend an offer until we’re convinced we’ve found the right candidate. This is why a job may stay open for months or be reposted several times.
