Grow With Us
We’re looking for a creative, social-first Content Marketing Manager to lead our content strategy across YouTube and Instagram. This person will be responsible for growing our audience of restaurant owners and operators by writing and executing on scripts that educate, entertain, and build a loyal following.
You don’t need to be a video editor (we have a team for that), but having an eye for edits, pacing, and trends is a plus. What matters most is a deep sense of what makes content go viral, what restaurant operators care about, and how to turn ideas into high-performing posts.
This role will also work directly with our Founder and CEO, ghostwriting scripts, shaping narratives, producing during filming sessions, and capturing customer case studies that bring our product impact to life.
This is a full-time, office-based role requiring presence 5 days a week to foster close collaboration with cross-functional teams — Monday, Tuesday, and Friday at the Menlo office, and Wednesday and Thursday at the San Francisco office.
We’re open to applicants nationwide — especially ambitious, early-career marketers eager to relocate to Silicon Valley and immerse themselves in a fast-paced startup environment.
