What the job involves
- Owner is building the self-driving, AI-powered platform for profitable growth for small businesses
- A crucial element of this growth engine is attracting new consumer demand for our restaurant customers through SEO and AEO/GEO
- Owner’s acquisition engine first identifies what makes a given restaurant unique, evaluates local demand for its offerings, and assesses the most relevant competition to determine the best strategy for promoting that restaurant
- Then, the platform automatically generates relevant website pages and content, monitors results over time, and evolves its strategy as it gets more data
- We’re looking for a growth-minded, results-oriented PM to lead work on evolving and further scaling this system in partnership with our talented local SEO experts, product analysts, and engineers
- Develop the roadmap for Owner’s traffic acquisition engine, balancing big strategic bets and optimization-focused experimentation
- Increase traffic to Owner customers’ websites from Google, ChatGPT, and other consumer discovery products
- Lead the evolution of Owner’s traffic acquisition strategy for the AI era, as consumers incorporate products beyond Google search into their restaurant discovery process
- Use AI to hone and scale how Owner determines the optimal traffic growth strategy for tens of thousands of independent restaurants
- Deliver results for customers that help Owner.com become the most loved brand in restaurant software
- You’ll join forces with our local SEO experts on how to determine the best traffic acquisition strategy for each restaurant customer
- You’ll partner with Engineering to build the software needed to scale our acquisition engine to tens of thousands of restaurant customers
- You’ll collaborate with Product Analytics to identify and size opportunities, define KPIs, and understand impact
- You’ll work with our customer-facing Launch, Customer Success, and Support teams to ensure we have the right inputs to understand what makes each customer restaurant unique
- You’ll work with our go-to-market teams to ensure that customers and prospects understand the value delivered by Owner’s traffic acquisition engine
Our take
The Pandemic caused a major upheaval in the US restaurant industry. Smaller operations struggled to stay afloat amidst brick-and-mortar closures, and as the demand for home delivery soared their margins were tightened further by hefty third-party delivery app charges. Add to that the fact that consumers become customers of the delivery app, not the restaurant itself, and it’s a development that has spelt real trouble for independent locales. Owner has set out to level the playing field.
Owner’s platform provides independent restaurants with the infrastructure they need to take control of their business without deferring to third-party apps like GrubHub and Deliveroo. It offers marketing, online ordering, and support solutions to over 10,000 restaurants across the U.S. The company has taken impressive first strides, too: they have a 7 figure run-rate, over 105% monthly revenue retention, and helped restaurants avoid millions in online order platform fees.
It’s a hugely attractive proposition for independent business owners, and research suggests it’s a winning idea for consumers too. Over 60% say they’d prefer to deal with restaurants directly, but historically the infrastructure simply hasn’t been in place to do so. With Owner seeing impressive traction by tripling its customers between 2023 and 2024, it's unsurprising that its 2025 funding is being channelled into engineering and design teams, alongside the development of new tools.
