Strategic Operations Lead

👋

Owner is the AI growth system for local restaurants.

Our AI continuously improves SEO, marketing, and online ordering to grow first-party orders. Unlike other companies that forces small business owners to master their software to drive sales, Owner gives them a proven system run by experts.

Owner is like having an army of engineers and marketers on your side, just like the big chains.

🌎

We’re starting by helping independent restaurants succeed online.

But it’s not just restaurants that need our help. Most local businesses are struggling with these same problems. Huge technology corporations are taking their customers, bleeding their profits, and making it hard for them to survive.

Once we nail the solution for restaurants–we’ll scale it into every other local business type.

In the future we envision, tens of millions of local business owners will use our technology to succeed in the digital age.

🔍 Why we’re looking for you

Owner is in a time of hyper-growth: we’ve more than doubled every year, and we’re on track to do the same moving forward. With this extreme growth, critical, complex, and cross-functional projects are appearing across the company. We’re testing and adopting a new pricing model, we’re bringing on a whole new segment of customers, and we’re transforming the way we interface with our customers to name just a few.

We’re making the first hire on our strategic operations team alongside our COO and Chief of Staff to take on the highest priority items across the company and drive lasting, transformational impact. We’re looking for someone with high ownership and world-class bias to action who will be responsible for the following:

Driving high-impact, cross-functional initiatives

Identify and lead the highest-leverage projects that are too new or complex to have a natural owner within the business. You’ll spin up and own strategic initiatives or functional areas that require urgent focus or long-term incubation—driving execution and impact where the company needs it most.

Supporting company-wide operating rhythms and goal execution

Partner closely with the COO and Chief of Staff to ensure alignment and delivery of company-level objectives. You’ll help manage the operating cadences that keep the business on track for our ambitious goals, and you’ll lead projects to course correction where needed.

This role is a chance to build and influence the future of one of the fastest-growing startups in the country on some of the most visible and high-impact projects.
