CityMunch – Head of Marketing
An opportunity to join a fast growing Shoreditch-based foodtech startup at an exciting phase in its history. We’re looking for someone to lead our marketing efforts and help accelerate our growth.
Background
CityMunch is changing the way we eat out. We connect restaurants, food trucks, and other eateries directly with their customers through real-time discounts, enabling them to instantly communicate with an engaged audience. In so doing, we help chefs reduce waste, and keep kitchens humming during quieter periods. As at August 2017, we’re a six-person team based in Google’s Campus London.
In our short history we have: –
· Launched in London, Bristol and Bath, with over 200 restaurant partners
· Raised a round of crowdfunding on Seedrs
· Won the London FoodTech Week pitching competition
· Gone through Just Eat’s Accelerator program.
Now, we’re looking for someone who shares our passion for the restaurant industry to head up our consumer marketing efforts, working closely with the CEO and the rest of the team.
Amongst other things, this will mean:
· Developing a deep understanding of our customer base and how to communicate with them
· Organising special promotions and events in conjunction with our restaurants
· Identifying, analysing and effectively using our most successful marketing channels
· Working directly with local media, food bloggers and other influencers to expand our reach
· Developing our own website and content
The ideal candidate will:
· Have 3-5 years’ experience in marketing, preferably with a strong digital focus in a startup environment
· Have immense drive, a strong entrepreneurial instinct and a desire to work in a startup environment
· Be an excellent communicator with superb written and spoken English
· Have confidence, charisma and ability to build strong partner relationships
· Have strong social media experience, able to build up our community
· Ideally, have experience with SEO, and PPC platforms including Facebook Ads
· Have an eye for strong content and good design (being handy with design tools e.g. Adobe Suite would be bonus)
· Have a track record of devising creative solutions to marketing challenges
· Love food. Seriously, this is a must!
We offer:
· £27k – £29k with an ownership stake in the company via equity options
· Offices at TechHub @ Campus near Old Street station
· A hard-working, fun-loving culture!
