About The Position

At Memento Mori Hospitality (MMH), our mission is to empower and inspire our team so together we can do what we love - create meaningful experiences for our guests. We strive to provide our Mementors (anyone employed across our growing portfolio, including Jame Enoteca, Ospi Venice, Ospi Brentwood, Jemma Hollywood, Ospi Costa Mesa, ¡Jaime! Taqueria, Ospi Montecito, and Ospi Dallas) with the same level of genuine care that we offer each guest who walks through our doors. Our goal is to expand MMH internationally. We view growth as a marathon, not a sprint, and we want to be the most rewarding employer in hospitality by encouraging our team to be creative, passionate, and scrappy. If you believe in what we stand for and want to grow with us, we want you on our team. The Role We are seeking a dynamic, growth-focused Director of Marketing & Brand to lead our multi-brand, multi-location marketing strategy. This is a true leadership role, but it is not a position where you sit back and delegate. You will have the autonomy to build, steer, and execute the brand vision. We need someone who is resourceful, hands on, and is comfortable wearing many hats in fast-paced, fluid environments.

Requirements

• You are a self starter who doesn't wait for instruction. You see a gap, and you fill it. You balance high level creative thinking with a gritty, figure-it-out mindset.
• 3 to 7 years of experience in progressive growth, brand management, or similar high impact marketing roles.
• Proven experience managing marketing for multiple brands simultaneously within food & beverage, hospitality, or retail.
• Deep experience blending digital marketing, e-commerce, and traditional experiential marketing.
• Hands-on experience with restaurant CRM systems and email service providers (specifically Loyalist or similar enterprise platforms).
• Strong familiarity with the mechanics of SEO, PPC advertising, and data analytics.
• A flexible schedule that aligns with the dynamic nature of hospitality (events, restaurant openings, and travel as we expand).
• You have a portfolio of work that proves you can build incredible things from scratch, pivot quickly, and do a lot with a little.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute comprehensive, omnichannel marketing strategies that elevate our individual restaurant concepts while tying back to the overarching MMH vision.
• Simultaneously manage and differentiate marketing efforts for multiple unique restaurant concepts across various geographic markets.
• Oversee digital marketing efforts, shaping the narrative, aesthetic, and content strategy across social media, web, and digital touchpoints.
• Own the end-to-end CRM strategy specifically tailored to the restaurant industry. Build, segment, and deploy data-driven email marketing and loyalty campaigns.
• Maintain a strong working familiarity with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) best practices and Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising to optimize digital discovery and reservations.
• Create memorable, immersive guest experiences and activations that drive foot traffic, local buzz, and brand loyalty.
• Oversee and optimize our e-commerce channels to drive ancillary revenue.

Benefits

• Competitive salary ($100k-$150k, commensurate with experience).
• Paid Time Off (PTO), which includes vacation and sick time, plus a flexible schedule that respects your output over just "clocking hours."
• 401(k)
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Complimentary meals at any MMH restaurant location.
• Massive growth potential as we take our brands to the international stage.
