Описание:

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. 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.

You will build trusted relationships with restaurant operators, helping them use OpenTable’s technology to improve reservation flow, guest experiences, and business performance. This field-based, remote role combines home working with regular travel across your territory and close collaboration with teams across OpenTable. Your work will directly support restaurant growth while helping OpenTable strengthen its position as a trusted technology partner to the hospitality industry. As we do not have an office in Italy, the role is remote, with regular visits to restaurants. This role is a 12 month fixed term contract.

• Strong organizational and analytical skills, including the ability to prioritize work, manage multiple stakeholders, use data to inform recommendations, and work independently in a field-based role.
• Proficiency with Google Workspace and Salesforce, plus a valid driving license and reliable transportation for regular business travel.
• Experience in restaurant management, hospitality, food and beverage sales, or restaurant technology.
• Experience managing accounts for a SaaS, reservation, point-of-sale, or other technology platform.
• Experience leading customer training, presenting to groups, and facilitating business reviews with senior stakeholders.
• Knowledge of restaurant economics and industry trends, with the ability to identify relevant business opportunities.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.

Условия:

• Generous paid vacation + time off for your birthday: 26 days of paid vacation
• Enhanced paid parental leave
• Focus on mental health and well-being: Company-paid therapy sessions through SpringHealth
• Company-paid subscription to Headspace

Work Environment & Flexibility

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.

Inclusion

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. If you need accommodations during the application or interview process, or on the job, we’re here to support you. Please reach out to your recruiter to request any accommodations.
