Open Table's Diner Marketing team is looking for a Marketing Manager to own our local brand strategy across core U.S. markets — New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, and Los Angeles — on a 12-month, fixed-term contract covering a leave.

In this role, you'll set the local brand vision and market-specific plans for our core markets, then partner cross-functionally with marketing, communications, creative, and product to bring that strategy to life.

This role is based in Toronto, following Open Table's hybrid model (in-office 2 days a week).

Partner cross-functionally with marketing, communications, creative, sales, events, and product teams to translate local strategy into flawless execution

Identify, negotiate, and manage market-specific partnerships (e.g., local venues, events, media, or cultural partners) that build Open Table's brand credibility and visibility in core markets

Partner with the national brand and campaign teams to plus-up national campaigns with a local lens — ensuring creative, media, and messaging resonate in each core market

Analyze market performance data and diner insights to inform local strategy, prioritization, and investment

Monitor local market trends, competitive activity, and cultural moments to surface new brand opportunities

Represent core-market needs and opportunities in national marketing planning conversations

7-10 years of experience in brand marketing, integrated marketing, or brand strategy — consumer brand experience highly preferred

Strong project management skills and experience leading execution through cross-functional partners

Experience managing external partnerships or vendor relationships, including negotiation

Familiarity with the local nuances of major North American markets — ideally NYC, SF, Chicago, and/or LA

Comfort balancing brand consistency with local relevance — you know when and how to adapt a national idea for a specific city

A diplomatic, clear communicator who can quickly build trust with a new team as an incoming contractor

Experience with project management tools such as  or JIRA

Proficient in Google Suite

The best connections happen face-to-face, whether you’re sitting down to dinner or having coffee with a coworker. That’s why Open Table has adopted a hybrid workplace model. This role aligns with that approach, with an expectation of coming into the office two days a week—giving employees the best of both worlds: in-person collaboration and flexibility.

The expected range of compensation for this position based in Toronto, Canada, is $115,000-$130,000 CAD. There are a variety of factors that go into determining a compensation range, including but not limited to external market benchmark data, geographic location, and years of experience sought/required.
