Description

<p><strong>Please note: This is a 12-month contract </strong></p> <p><strong>Location: </strong>London, UK (Hybrid position, in office 2 days per week)</p> <p>With millions of diners, 70,000+ restaurant partners and 25+ years of experience, OpenTable, part of Booking Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), is an industry leader with a passion for helping restaurants thrive. Our world-class technology empowers restaurants to focus on what matters most – their team, their guests, and their bottom line – while enabling diners to discover and book the perfect restaurant for every occasion. </p> <p>Every employee at OpenTable has a tangible impact on what we do and how we do it. You’ll also be part of a global team and its portfolio of metasearch brands. Hospitality is all about taking care of others, and it defines our culture.</p> <p><strong>The Position</strong></p> <p>We're looking for a growth marketer who's restless, someone who runs projects at scale by obsessively removing the manual steps holding them back, and who reaches for AI the same way others reach for a spreadsheet.</p> <p>This is a systems-first marketing role. You'll own process optimisation and growth systems for the International Marketing team, identifying where work is manual, repetitive, or slow, and building the automations and AI-powered workflows to fix it. You'll work closely with engineering to scope and ship tooling that makes the whole team more effective.</p> <p>You'll also run a portfolio of growth campaigns, so you need to be both a builder and an executor. But your defining contribution will be making the team faster and smarter, not just delivering your own output.</p> <p>You'll be the connective tissue between channel owners, market owners, and engineering, the person who figures out how to do more with less. If you've ever built a workflow just because something was annoying you, that's exactly the mentality we're hiring for.</p> <p><strong>What You’ll Do</strong></p> <ul> <li>Identify and map the international marketing team's growth workflows end-to-end; identify manual steps that are candidates for automation, AI-assisted tooling, or smarter process design.</li> <li>Scope and build AI-powered marketing workflows in partnership with engineering: briefing tools, content generation pipelines, performance monitoring bots, and more.</li> <li>Write clear specs that translate marketing requirements into engineering stories: you don't need to code, but you need to think in systems and communicate technical requirements clearly.</li> <li>Prototype, test, and iterate on new tooling before handing it off or scaling it across the team.</li> <li>Educate and enable the team on new tools and workflows: run training sessions, write documentation, build internal champions.</li> <li>Own a portfolio of growth campaigns end-to-end across multiple international markets: brief, execute, measure, iterate, scale.</li> <li>Identify new growth opportunities: new channels, audience segments, mechanics that go beyond the existing playbook. That includes upper-funnel channels like connected TV and out-of-home where the right moment calls for it, and knowing how to build the case and a plan for them.</li> <li>Be the connective tissue between market owners, channel owners, and engineering; keep cross-functional work moving.</li> </ul> <p><strong>What Makes You a Strong Fit</strong></p> <ul> <li>You've run growth projects end-to-end: identified an opportunity, built the business case, and driven it to an outcome, ideally across multiple markets or functions.</li> <li>You think in systems: your first instinct when something is repetitive is to design a way to never do it manually again.</li> <li>You've built something real with AI: an automated agent, a prompt system, or a custom integration that solved a real problem at work, not just experimented with chatbots.</li> <li>You can work with engineers: you've collaborated with technical teams to build something, whether that's a data pipeline, an automated workflow, or a custom integration.</li> <li>You can write a clear brief, a concise spec, and a stakeholder update, and know which one the situation calls for.</li> <li>You have working knowledge across the growth marketing stack: paid, organic, CRM, content, and social. You don't need to be an expert in each, but you speak the language.</li> <li>You understand how channels work across the full funnel, and can evaluate new media opportunities: when they're the right call, how to measure impact, and how to make the case internally.</li> <li>You operate at scale: you know how to prioritise, delegate smartly, and use tools and systems to punch above your weight.</li> <li>You're a fast learner who ships: you'd rather launch a good version and iterate than wait for perfect.</li> <li>6+ years in growth marketing, ideally in-house at a consumer tech brand or a fast-growing startup.</li> <li>Native English fluency; additional language capability a plus.</li> <li>Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in marketing or related fields. </li> </ul> <p><strong>You’ll Thrive Here If </strong></p> <ul> <li>You love building systems, not just running them.</li> <li>You find inefficiency genuinely irritating. </li> <li>You default to “I’ll figure it out”.</li> <li>You get energised by a blank brief.</li> <li>You enjoy working with both brand marketers and technical teams.</li> <li>You obsess over iteration speed.</li> <li>You enjoy working across cultures and markets. </li> <li>You love restaurants and dining culture.</li> </ul> <p>The best connections happen face-to-face, whether you’re sitting down to dinner or having coffee with a coworker. That’s why OpenTable 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.</p> <p><strong>Work Environment & Flexibility</strong></p> <p>At OpenTable, we pride ourselves on fostering a global and dynamic work environment. As a team member with us, you will benefit from a schedule tailored to accommodate a global workforce operating across multiple time zones. While the majority of your responsibilities may align with conventional business hours, there will be instances where you are expected to manage communications - via calls, Slack messages, or emails - outside of regular working hours to effectively collaborate with international colleagues, respond to restaurant partners, and/or address urgent matters. OpenTable will always abide by and consider local laws and regulations.</p> <p><strong>Inclusion</strong></p> <p>We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels they belong and can thrive. We know the best ideas come when we bring different voices to the table, so we're building a team as dynamic as the diners and restaurants we serve—and fostering a culture where everyone feels welcome to be themselves.</p> <p>If you need any reasonable adjustments during the application/interview process, or on the job, we’re here to support you. Please reach out to your recruiter to request any accommodations.</p> <p>#LI-Hybrid</p> <p>#LI-BR1</p>
