About Us:
ChowNow is one of the leading players in off-premise restaurant technology. As takeout becomes a vital revenue stream for independent restaurants, our platform helps owners focus on what they do best—serving great food—by offering solutions across the entire digital dining experience. From building branded websites and mobile apps, to powering online orders, managing menus, consolidating delivery, and running targeted marketing, we give restaurants the tools to grow on their own terms.
We support over 20,000 restaurants across North America, helping process $1B+ in gross food sales while saving our partners over $700M in third-party commission fees. Through our white-label ordering solutions, a growing demand network (including Google, Yelp, Apple, and Snap), and a diner-friendly marketplace, we empower independent restaurants to own their customer relationships and avoid inflated pricing and fees charged by 3rd party delivery apps like Uber and Doordash.
Founded in 2012, we’ve navigated rapid growth and transformation—from startup roots through the pandemic boom—and are now beginning an exciting new era under our CEO, Kanika Soni. As we evolve with new leadership and cutting-edge tools, we’re deepening our commitment to helping local restaurants thrive in the digital economy.
About the Position:
As the Head of Marketing, you will own our demand generation and pipeline engine—the heartbeat of our revenue organization. You will drive predictable, scalable pipeline growth across paid, organic, and partner channels, ensuring marketing is the #1 source of revenue. While you develop and elevate the current team with clear roles, goals, and KPIs, you will instill a data-driven, test-and-learn culture grounded in performance metrics.
You’ll be both strategic architect and hands-on builder, working alongside the heads of Paid, Organic, Lifecycle and Product Marketing under your organization to deliver full-funnel performance.
