About Seated

Seated exists to help restaurants thrive in an industry defined by thin margins and underutilized capacity. We connect thousands of restaurants with millions of high-intent diners through demand-driven pricing and rewards, helping restaurants fill empty tables, reach new guests, increase visit frequency, and drive profitable incremental revenue.

Since launching, billions of dollars in restaurant spend have flowed through Seated, and hundreds of millions of dollars in rewards have been paid to Seated consumers. Today, Seated operates across 20+ U.S. markets and continues to expand nationally.

Our core marketplace is thriving. Now, we’re focused on expanding the value Seated creates for restaurants and consumers and building the company’s next major growth engine.

Role Overview

We're hiring a Senior Manager of Strategy & Analytics to own the numbers the company runs on. You'll be the go-to person for partner performance, forecasting, all-hands reporting, and our predictive models, and you'll make sure every number holds up before it reaches leadership, partners, or the board.

This is a senior, hands-on individual contributor role with no direct reports to start. You'll report to the VP of Finance and work closely with the CEO, CRO, SVP of Engineering, and Director of Restaurant Success, along with leaders across Sales and Partnerships. It's a high-visibility seat at a small, fast-moving company.
