Description

Sweetgreen is looking for a Senior Marketplace Marketing Manager who is a genuine expert in third-party delivery and who can translate that expertise into a channel strategy that contributes meaningfully to sweetgreen's growth objectives. This is a role for someone who has strong data-driven opinions about what good looks like and can build the methodology to get there.

You'll own the strategy and execution, how we evaluate marketplace performance, how we structure our promotional philosophy, how we think about the tradeoffs between visibility and margin, and how sweetgreen should position itself on these platforms over the next several years.

You will:

Define sweetgreen’s overarching marketplace strategy across DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub. Stay ahead of platform algorithm changes, new ad product rollouts, and competitive dynamics
Develop the internal criteria and evaluation methodology for how sweetgreen measures marketplace success
Identify and navigate the significant, non-obvious tradeoffs inherent to marketplace channels and bring a clear point of view to leadership
Manage a marketplace agency effectively, balancing leadership and detail-orientation
Define KPIs and build the reporting infrastructure that gives sweetgreen clear visibility into marketplace performance by analyzing platform trends, cohort behavior, and menu mix to surface insights
Own the full marketing budget across all three platforms, including sponsored listings, in-app placements, push notifications, and promotional mechanics
Design a promotional architecture that drives incremental volume without structurally eroding margin
Own the digital shelf experience across all platforms: menu architecture, item visibility, photography standards, and category sequencing
Partner with Culinary and Brand on new item launches and LTOs, ensuring marketplace storefronts reflect sweetgreen’s quality standards and brand voice
Serve as sweetgreen’s primary relationship owner with platform account teams at DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub
Partner with Finance on marketplace P&L, and Tech and Operations on seamless implementation
Serve as the internal expert on third-party delivery, fielding questions and advising cross-functional partners across Digital, Growth, and Loyalty
Collaborate with Legal and Finance on commission structures, contract terms, and promotional compliance

Desired traits:

A strategist with strong data-driven instincts, able to cut through ambiguity and develop a clear point of view where one does not yet exist
A skilled communicator and influencer, comfortable presenting complex tradeoffs and channel strategy to senior leadership
An operator at heart, with the rigor to build frameworks and the ownership mindset to see them through to execution
A collaborative partner, able to work across Finance, Tech, Legal, Operations, and Brand without formal authority
A channel expert with genuine intellectual curiosity about platform dynamics, algorithm behavior, and the evolving third-party delivery landscape

Desired experience:

10+ years of experience in marketplace or third-party delivery marketing, with hands-on expertise across DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub
Demonstrated ability to build channel strategy and evaluation frameworks independently, not just execute within existing ones
Fluency in platform advertising consoles, promotional mechanics, algorithm dynamics, and digital merchandising
Strong analytical capability; able to evaluate complex performance data involving significant intangibles (incrementality, cannibalization, brand halo) and make sound recommendations
Experience in restaurant, fast casual, or high-volume retail environments
Proven track record managing significant marketplace media budgets and influencing cross-functional stakeholders at the executive level
Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree a plus

What you'll get:

Highly competitive pay + bonus plan
Three different medical plans to suit your and your family's needs
Dental and Vision insurance
Flexible PTO plan
401k program
Employee HSA and FSA
Complimentary greens
An opportunity to make a real impact on the people around you, both by growing them and by connecting them to real food
To live the sweetlife and celebrate your passion + purpose
A collaborative team of people who live our core values and have your back
A clear career path with opportunities for development, both personally and professionally
Free sweetgreen swag
