Job Summary
Own and coordinate the restaurant marketing function, driving the calendar, content creation, social posting, and KPI reporting across channels.
- Own the campaign calendar and KPIs
- Coordinate with designers, editors, and ad partners to execute campaigns
Job Description
Responsibilities
- Build and run the marketing calendar - campaigns, promotions, and seasonal pushes.
- Bring recommendations, not questions. We’ll give you the business priorities and constraints; you decide how marketing delivers against them.
- Own a defined set of marketing KPIs and report on them.
- Plan what content we need and when, based on the campaign calendar and the need to keep social consistently active during stretches with no campaign running.
- Brief our freelance videographer and editor — shot lists, creative direction, and feedback through to final cut.
- Maintain the content library in Google Drive.
- Instagram, TikTok, and Google Business Profile posts.
- 4-6 posts per week, campaign or no campaign.
- Planning and executing the posting schedule, including captions.
- Responding to comments and direct messages.
Requirements
- 5+ years in marketing – restaurant or hospitality strongly preferred.
- You’ve run a marketing function, not just a channel. You’ve owned the plan, not only executed someone else’s.
- You can point to revenue you increased and explain how you did it.
- You know what short-form video needs to look like to perform, and you can brief a videographer and editor to get there. Native, fast, in-the-moment content.
- Demonstrated ownership of a posting calendar over time, not one-off campaigns. We care that you’ve sustained a feed, not that you’ve launched one.
- Proven project coordination: you’ve managed designers, editors, or other contributors to a deadline without formal authority over them.
- Comfort with email marketing platforms and list management.
- Fluency with the tools in our stack, or the ability to pick them up quickly: Notion, Google Drive, Toast, Mailchimp, Bloom Growth, Meta and Google ad platforms.
- Reliable independent work habits - this role is largely unsupervised between calls.
Preferred
- You close loops. Things you own don’t need a follow-up to get finished.
- You have taste and opinions about the work, and you back them with numbers rather than preference.
- You understand that a restaurant’s marketing lives or dies on consistency, not on any single great post.
- You get how a restaurant actually runs and that a promotion has to work on a Friday night line, not just on a content calendar.
- You manage your own time and work well with a client roster.
