Director of Strategic Sales, Catering Partnerships
ezCater is the world’s largest online marketplace for catering – a $60+ billion market just in the U.S. Businesspeople use us to find and order great food for meetings and events; restaurants and caterers use us to grow their catering business. We’re backed by world-class investors including Insight Partners, Iconiq Capital, and others, and in early 2019 were valued at $1.25 billion. COVID slammed us, but we responded by finding new customer segments and seizing the rare opportunity COVID offered: when in life does a very successful operation get a do-over? Come help us power Food For Work even better than we did it the first time.
People love our service. Here at ezCater, our Strategic Sales teams help restaurants discover and appreciate the value of joining the ezCater Marketplace and deploying our suite of online ordering and catering management software tools. As our Director of Strategic Sales, you will be responsible for establishing and growing ezCater’s relationships with the country’s largest restaurant chains. You’ll develop strategic plans to grow our business and help ezCater achieve monthly, quarterly, and yearly sales objectives - all while managing a high-performing sales team.
