ABOUT SPIDER LABS
Spider Labs (Spider AF) is a marketing technology company on a mission to make digital advertising fraud-free. Headquartered in Tokyo, with offices in New York, Cork, and Lisbon, we help thousands of advertisers around the world protect their ad spend from fraud and invalid traffic.
Our Lisbon office is a small, close-knit team doing meaningful work in a global environment. We're now looking for someone to be the backbone of our local operations.
──────────────────────────────────────────
THE ROLE
The single most important thing we're looking for is someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and present.
This is a hands-on, all-rounder role. You'll be the go-to person for everything happening on the ground in Lisbon — from handling finances and local vendors to supporting the team on day-to-day operations. You don't need to be an expert in accounting or HR to get started; what matters most is that we can trust you completely and that you show up.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Office & Local Operations — Be the physical face of Spider Labs in Lisbon. Handle anything that requires being in person: bank visits, government offices, building management, supplier coordination, post office runs.
- Finance Support — Manage company cards, expense reports, receipts, and petty cash. Prepare and track invoices, coordinate with our local accountant on monthly financials.
- People Support — Assist with onboarding and offboarding for Lisbon-based team members. Handle local labor paperwork and HR coordination as needed.
- HQ Coordination — Serve as the link between the Lisbon office and our Corporate team in Tokyo. Help with travel logistics, reporting, and cross-office admin.
- Whatever Comes Up — Startup life is dynamic. You'll be comfortable rolling up your sleeves on things that don't always fit a job description.
