About Owner
Owner is the AI-native system local business owners use to succeed, starting with restaurants.
We’re building the system that replaces the many tools owners use to run their business.
It powers everything from the restaurant’s website, online ordering, CRM, POS, and more.
Product philosophy
Most small business software makes owners do the work to get what they want: sales growth and profit growth. Owner does the work for them agentically.
Our system drives demand, converts it, and helps operators run their business day to day. As it improves, the business improves with it.
Using Owner should feel like having a team of great operators, engineers, and marketers working for you.
Our vision
We’re starting by helping independent restaurants succeed online.
But it’s not just restaurants that need our help. Most local businesses are struggling with these same problems. Huge technology corporations are taking their customers, bleeding their profits, and making it hard for them to survive.
Once we nail the solution for restaurants – we’ll scale it into every other local business type.
In the future we envision, tens of millions of local business owners will use our technology to succeed in the digital age.
Our traction
Since 2020, we've generated tens of millions in revenue and processed over a billion dollars of online orders. 1 in 5 Americans have used an Owner.com website.
More importantly, we’ve helped over 20,000 restaurant owners, and saved them nearly $200 million in fees.
Our team
Our team is now in the low hundreds. We’ve got top talent from the most successful companies in SMB software, including: Shopify, HubSpot, DoorDash, ServiceTitan, Rappi, Faire and Stripe.
We’ll be scaling even faster in 2026 to keep pace with our customer growth.
Where we work
Owner is a remote-first, global company headquartered in San Francisco, with a sales hub in Toronto. For a few of our roles we prioritize in-person collaboration at one of our office locations. Most of our teammates are distributed throughout the globe. Please review the role description and discuss with your recruiter for more details on location!
We are excited to hire our first-ever Global Compensation leader to shape and scale our compensation and equity programs to increase our talent density at Owner.
Reporting into the VP of People, you’ll partner with Finance, Talent, and other senior leaders to create, implement, and administer compensation programs that attract, retain, and reward exceptional talent across our global team. Compensation includes both cash compensation and equity: your role is to ensure both remain competitive, scalable, and aligned with our business objectives.
This is a unique opportunity to build and mature compensation infrastructure at a high-growth company. You'll combine analytical rigor with business acumen to inform compensation approaches, allow the business to operate more efficiently and equitably with offers and merit cycles, and help leaders make informed talent investments. You'll also help team members understand and maximize the value of their total compensation.
If you're excited by the opportunity to build, influence, and create lasting impact in a fast-paced, innovative environment, we'd love to meet you.
Owner is a global, remote-first company: the majority of our teammates are distributed across North and South America. For this role, you can live anywhere in the United States or Canada.
