About Us:

ChowNow is one of the leading players in off-premise restaurant technology. As takeout becomes a vital revenue stream for independent restaurants, our platform helps owners focus on what they do best—serving great food—by offering solutions across the entire digital dining experience. From building branded websites and mobile apps, to powering online orders, managing menus, consolidating delivery, and running targeted marketing, we give restaurants the tools to grow on their own terms.

We support over 20,000 restaurants across North America, helping process $1B+ in gross food sales while saving our partners over $700M in third-party commission fees. Through our white-label ordering solutions, a growing demand network (including Google, Yelp, Apple, and Snap), and a diner-friendly marketplace, we empower independent restaurants to own their customer relationships and avoid inflated pricing and fees charged by 3rd party delivery apps like Uber and Doordash.

Founded in 2012, we’ve navigated rapid growth and transformation—from startup roots through the pandemic boom—and are now beginning an exciting new era under our CEO, Kanika Soni. As we evolve with new leadership and cutting-edge tools, we’re deepening our commitment to helping local restaurants thrive in the digital economy.

About the Position:

The Director of Account Management leads ChowNow's post-sale revenue engine — owning renewal and retention across our restaurant base, partnering with Sales to drive expansion through cross-sell and upsell, and reactivating churned customers through a structured winback motion. You'll be accountable for the activation and adoption of new products as ChowNow's suite continues to grow, ensuring customers realize value quickly and the revenue follows.

This is a transformational role. ChowNow is in an exciting phase of new product launches and an evolving go-to-market motion, and we're looking for a leader who can act as a change agent — building the playbooks, team structure, and operating cadence needed to scale a modern Account Management function. You'll bring the strategic vision to set the direction, the operational rigor to execute against it, and the leadership presence to bring the team and cross-functional partners along with you.

Reports to the Vice President of Sales and will oversee the Account Management (Restaurant Success) Team consisting of 2 managers and 9 individual contributors with a portfolio of 16K+ clients.

This is a remote role based in the United States. Please note: ChowNow is not eligible to employ in every state and the recruiting team will confirm location and eligibility before moving past initial stages.

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT YOU:

You put restaurants first. You deeply understand the importance of local restaurants and put them at the center of everything you do. You aim to help them not only survive but thrive.

You celebrate diversity. You recognize that diversity and inclusivity matter. You’re committed to progress, which means everyone gets the support and resources they need, no matter who they are. You have an ability to listen to other team members' ideas and can thrive in an environment that embraces individuality. Everyone’s voice counts.

You raise your hand. You consistently go above and beyond what is asked of you. You help your peers accomplish their tasks while also excelling at accomplishing your own. When you have a smart idea, you raise your hand and share it.

You keep reaching. You set clear ambitious goals. You don’t allow yourself to become complacent with where you’re at and what you’ve done, so you seek out new opportunities and challenges.
