Job Description
Who we are
In the past, to be a successful restaurateur, you simply had to have a passion for food and a passion for people - but to succeed as a digital restaurateur you also need to have a passion for technology. We believe in the joy of serving others, and that's why we created Otter – to help restaurateurs succeed in online food delivery. Restaurants around the world, both large and small, including Chick-fil-A, Ben & Jerry’s, KFC, and Eataly trust our software to power their delivery business. We increase sales, reduce order issues, and decrease delivery headaches.

Partner with Product, Growth, Brand, and Sales to ensure full-funnel alignment and cross-functional acceleration.
Own forecasting, spend pacing, weekly/monthly reporting, and insights for senior leadership.
Drive attribution improvements using tools like GA4, Mixpanel, Looker, or Snowflake.
Evaluate new channels, automation tools, and AI-powered optimization solutions to increase scale and lower CAC.
Be a strategic thought partner to Otter’s leadership on overall growth strategy, channel mix, and long-term customer acquisition models.
What we’re looking for
10+ years in performance or growth marketing with direct ownership of a $M+ annual ad spend.
Operator experience in a $50M+ ARR environment (SaaS, marketplace, high-growth startup, consumer goods or multi-market consumer tech).
Deep expertise in Meta Ads and Google Ads, with a track record of scaling CAC-positive programs.
Strong mathematical and analytical capability — comfortable in SQL, Excel, Looker, and funnel analytics.
Proven ability to design full-funnel strategies and systematically improve every conversion point.
Demonstrated ability to work in a high-growth, high-ambiguity environment with fast iteration cycles.
Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to influence and present to senior stakeholders.
Why join us
Real impact: You will directly own one of the largest levers for Otter’s growth.
Fast moving environment where great operators thrive.
Opportunity to shape the future of restaurant technology.
High ownership role with direct visibility to senior leadership across Otter and CSS.
