About the opportunity

We're hiring a Global Growth Marketing Manager to lead First Table's diner acquisition across New Zealand, Australia, UK and Ireland. It's a brand-new, senior role for a commercially sharp growth marketer who wants real ownership and the room to prove what they can do.

You'll report to our Chief Marketing Officer and work shoulder-to-shoulder with Marketing, Product, and Data, and our regional teams to shape how First Table grows. You'll balance short-term performance with long-term demand, and pull together data, experimentation, sharp creative and commercial judgement into one connected growth engine.

This isn’t a “manage the ads” role. It’s an opportunity to influence how a global consumer marketplace invests, experiments, and scales.

About us

At First Table, our vision is simple: to be the first place diners go to book a table.

Proudly established in Queenstown, New Zealand - where our head office is based - we've been leading the charge in the hospitality tech industry for over a decade, with operations spanning New Zealand, Australia, UK and Ireland.

First Table is a dining discovery platform that connects diners to restaurants through their love of food. Through our clever tech, we help restaurants get their night off to a great start and give diners a compelling reason to try somewhere new. It’s a win-win situation. From early bird offers to last table reservations, we make discovering and booking great dining experiences fast, easy, and rewarding.

At the heart of everything we do are our values: Win-Win-Win, Own It and Grow Together. These guide how we show up for each other, our restaurant partners, and our diners and they’re a big part of what makes First Table a great place to work.

About the role

You’ll own First Table’s global diner acquisition strategy, deciding where and how we invest to drive sustainable, profitable growth.

You’ll lead the relationship with our performance agency, shape channel mix and media investment, and work closely with internal teams to improve the journey from first touch through to first booking.

Growth at First Table is shaped by more than campaign performance. You’ll help connect paid media, brand demand, organic growth, product experience, creative, data, and customer value into one clear growth system.

It's a role for someone who can zoom out to the big picture, dive into the detail when it counts, and turn insight into action across multiple markets.

What you’ll be doing

• Own diner acquisition strategy across New Zealand, Australia, and UKI
• Lead channel mix, media investment, and acquisition budget allocation
• Develop market-specific growth plans, with a strong focus on scaling UKI demand
• Lead our performance agency relationship, from strategy and briefs through to outcomes
• Use CAC, ROAS, payback period, LTV, conversion rates, and channel ROI to guide investment decisions
• Partner with Marketing, Product, Data, and Engineering, to improve first-booking conversion
• Champion experimentation across audiences, creative, messaging, offers, landing pages, app store experiences, and user journeys
• Build clear reporting and recommendations that help the business understand what drives sustainable growth

What you’ll bring

• At least 5 years’ experience in growth, digital, acquisition, or performance marketing, ideally within a marketplace, app-based, subscription, product-led, or high-growth consumer business
• Strong hands-on experience across paid acquisition channels, particularly Google and Meta
• Commercial confidence managing meaningful budgets and making investment recommendations
• Experience managing performance agencies or external partners
• A strong understanding of how brand, creative, media, conversion, and customer value work together
• Confidence using growth metrics such as CAC, ROAS, LTV, payback period, conversion rates, and channel ROI
• Working knowledge of experimentation, attribution, SEO, GEO, CRO, ASO, and organic acquisition levers
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to turn complex insight into clear commercial recommendations

Why you’ll love working with us

• Real ownership of global diner acquisition across three international markets
• The chance to shape First Table’s growth strategy at an exciting stage of scale
• A role with senior visibility and meaningful influence across the business
• The opportunity to work across the full growth system, not just paid channels
• A collaborative, ambitious team that values experimentation, commercial thinking, and practical action
• Opportunities to use AI, automation, data, and emerging technology in meaningful ways
• Work remotely from Auckland with regular team connection or hybrid from our Queenstown HQ.
• Perks like free First Table bookings, referral incentives, team recognition, and regular opportunities to celebrate wins
• A purpose-led, award-winning consumer brand with strong momentum and exciting international growth ambitions
