Job description

About Owner

Owner is the AI-native system local business owners use to succeed, starting with restaurants.

We’re building the system that replaces the many tools owners use to run their business.

It powers everything from the restaurant’s website, online ordering, CRM, POS, and more.

Product philosophy

Most small business software makes owners do the work to get what they want: sales growth and profit growth. Owner does the work for them agentically.

Our system drives demand, converts it, and helps operators run their business day to day. As it improves, the business improves with it.

Using Owner should feel like having a team of great operators, engineers, and marketers working for you.

Our vision

We’re starting by helping independent restaurants succeed online.

But it’s not just restaurants that need our help. Most local businesses are struggling with these same problems. Huge technology corporations are taking their customers, bleeding their profits, and making it hard for them to survive.

Once we nail the solution for restaurants – we’ll scale it into every other local business type.

In the future we envision, tens of millions of local business owners will use our technology to succeed in the digital age.

Our traction

Since 2020, we've generated tens of millions in revenue and processed over a billion dollars of online orders. 1 in 5 Americans have used an Owner.com website.

More importantly, we’ve helped over 20,000 restaurant owners, and saved them nearly $200 million in fees.

Our team

Our team is now in the low hundreds. We’ve got top talent from the most successful companies in SMB software, including: Shopify, HubSpot, DoorDash, ServiceTitan, Rappi, Faire and Stripe.

We’ll be scaling even faster in 2026 to keep pace with our customer growth.

Where we work

Owner is a remote-first, global company headquartered in San Francisco, with a sales hub in Toronto. For a few of our roles we prioritize in-person collaboration at one of our office locations. Most of our teammates are distributed throughout the globe. Please review the role description and discuss with your recruiter for more details on location!

Why we’re looking for you

We’re looking for a high-performing Senior Talent Parter to spearhead scaling our design teams.

In this role, you’ll be a trusted talent partner to hiring managers - driving full-cycle recruiting efforts, crafting thoughtful hiring strategies, and relentlessly pursuing top-tier technical talent. This is a high-impact position where your ability to identify, engage, and close exceptional engineers will directly shape the future of our company.

This role is 100% remote and can be based anywhere in the United States.

The impact you will have

• Own the full recruiting lifecycle from kickoff through offer with precision, velocity, and a strong focus on candidate pipeline building.
• Design and execute creative sourcing strategies to surface and engage top-tier candidates, especially for highly competitive engineering roles.
• Lead candidate outreach, pitch our mission and team with authenticity and clarity, and conduct interviews that identify both skill and potential.
• Partner closely with hiring managers, deeply understanding team goals and defining what “exceptional talent” looks like for every role.
• Own the full recruiting lifecycle from kickoff through offer with precision, velocity, and a strong focus on candidate experience.
• Build and maintain a rich pipeline of high-caliber talent to meet both current and future hiring needs.
• Serve as a champion of an outstanding candidate experience, ensuring clear, timely, and respectful communication throughout.
• Actively monitor metrics and analyze data trends week over week.
• The expectation is that this role will be 50% sourcing/ 50% full cycle

Minimum requirements

• 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with experience hiring product design and design talent in high-bar technology environments.
• Strong understanding of the design market, including the ability to assess portfolios, distinguish design disciplines, and calibrate candidate level and quality.
• Proven ability to turn ambiguous hiring needs into clear success profiles, targeted search strategies, and prioritized talent pools.
• Experience independently sourcing passive candidates through market mapping, referrals, portfolio platforms, and design communities.
• Strong candidate storytelling, relationship-building, offer management, and closing skills.
• Credibility to advise design leaders, challenge assumptions, and drive intake, interview design, panel preparation, and calibration.
• Data-driven and operationally rigorous, with a track record of improving pipeline quality, conversion, hiring velocity, and candidate experience.
• Able to independently deliver approximately 1 - 2 high-quality design hires per month without sacrificing the talent bar.

Compensation and benefits

• The estimated starting base salary range for this role is $150,000 - $180,000 for Senior level, depending on experience and location. The offer also includes a generous pre-IPO equity package.
• Other benefits include comprehensive health coverage, work from anywhere (remote-first workplace), unlimited PTO - plus extra fun perks!
