Our 1.5M on-time ratings and reviews, our 60K+ caterers and restaurants, and our 5-star customer service make it superbly easy for business people to find and order great food for their meetings. We’re backed by Insight Venture Partners and Iconiq Capital, we’re on a path to $1B in 2019, and we’ll get there – even more surely if you come help us.
If you’ve led sophisticated, ROI-measured digital acquisition programs that drove dramatic growth – 2X YoY and up – at scale, this job is for you. We’re well down that road, and see a big shining highway up ahead.
What you’ll do:
- Lead our digital marketing programs to acquire new customers through SEM, SEO, Social Advertising, Display Advertising, Mobile Marketing, and more.

- Lead the team to optimize customer acquisition, from discovering new traffic volumes, to increasing ad click-throughs, all the way to converting users who deliver high downstream bookings.
- Use ROI analysis (LTV/CAC and payback period) at a granular level: by platform, by geo, by campaign, and down to keyword or targeting criterion.
- Help invent and test all levers, from KW and persona targeting, to ad copy for maximum CTR of high-ROI traffic, to landing-page messaging and design, and more.
- Partner with our product managers and developers to evolve our custom automation for managing our Google and Bing campaigns.
- Partner with our data scientists to set up predictive models and machine learning to optimize our tactics and campaigns at a granular level (such as keyword- and geo- level real-time bidding).
- Partner with our UX designers to create store experiences that optimize conversions for distinct personas.
Please:
- Have 10+ years' experience in digital acquisition.
- Have significant accomplishments in SEM, SEO, Display, and Social advertising on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and more.

- Be passionate about insane growth – within our culture of humane behaviors and sane working hours.
