Director of Media Operations

Media has been an unfair advantage for Owner as we’ve scaled to over a billion dollar valuation. Our YouTube and Instagram channels are category leaders. We’ve become the #1 voice in restaurant growth. We have attracted customers, investors, and world‑class talent using media.

Our channels regularly get over 3 million organic impressions per month, and we’re looking to double down on this momentum by building a dedicated Media team. It will make media an even bigger advantage for attracting customers and talent. The Director of Media Operations is one of our early hires for this team.

As the Director of Media Operations, you’ll design and scale the systems that will help us (1) grow our audience across all channels, (2) acquire more customers, and (3) strengthen our movement and community.

You’ll make the media engine run smoother, faster, and better on our way to build Owner.com into a generational company.
