About the Job

OpenTable's Diner Marketing team is looking for a Manager, Digital Marketing to join us on a 6-month contract basis. In this role, you will own and drive paid social performance across Meta and TikTok — managing campaigns end-to-end, building and iterating on performance creative, and using data to optimize toward measurable business outcomes.

You'll sit within our growth marketing function, working closely with creative, analytics, and channel teams to continuously test, learn, and scale what works.

Responsibilities

• Own paid social campaign strategy and execution across Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and TikTok, managing full campaign lifecycles from initial brief through optimization, budget pacing, and performance reporting.

• Partner with in-house designers and creative teams to develop high-performing ad creative tailored to each platform's best practices, audience behaviors, and evolving ad formats.
• Analyze campaign performance on a regular cadence, translating data into clear, actionable optimizations and confident recommendations for budget allocation across channels.
• Manage day-to-day paid social budgets with a performance-first mindset, maintaining pacing and efficiency against key metrics including CPA, ROAS, CTR, and CVR.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Analytics, Brand, and Growth teams to ensure paid social strategy is aligned with broader diner acquisition and retention goals.
• Monitor platform updates, algorithm changes, and emerging ad formats across Meta and TikTok to continuously bring fresh, informed thinking to the channel.

Minimum Qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on digital ads experience with deep, proven expertise in Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads and TikTok Ads Manager.
• Demonstrated track record of owning creative testing frameworks and driving measurable performance improvements through structured experimentation.
• Fluency in performance marketing metrics (CPA, ROAS, CTR, CVR) with the ability to use data to make fast, confident optimization decisions.
• Experience independently managing significant paid social budgets with a rigorous approach to efficiency, pacing, and forecasting.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — able to clearly articulate performance narratives and creative hypotheses to cross-functional partners and leadership.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in working with Meta product catalog feeds.
• Experience in consumer or diner marketing, e-commerce, or a two-sided marketplace environment.
• Familiarity with incrementality measurement methodologies (e.g., geo-based lift tests, holdout studies) and third-party measurement tools.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, lean team environment where you own your roadmap and manage your own priorities.

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.

OpenTable will always abide by and consider local laws and regulations.
