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.
