The Role
The Account Executive is responsible for bringing new restaurants onto our dining network through a consultative sales approach.
OpenTable’s Account Executive team is dedicated to improving restaurants’ revenue potential by applying best-in-brand front-of-house management and online reservation technology. We are looking for sales professionals who are passionate about the restaurant industry and enjoy working with industry-leading technology.
This is a hybrid field based position, with up to 60% domestic travel, the rest of the time working from home.
In this role, you will:
- Own and grow your assigned territory by proactively identifying, targeting and winning new restaurant partners through strategic outbound activity and thoughtful market mapping.
- Build trusted adviser relationships with top and elite restaurants, strengthening long-term partnerships and expanding revenue opportunities within your market.
- Deliver high-quality, tailored product demos, both virtual and in-person, using data-driven insights to diagnose needs and position OpenTable solutions effectively.
- Drive sustainable revenue growth by creating compelling commercial opportunities that generate measurable value for restaurateurs and OpenTable alike.
- Act as a market expert by educating operators on industry trends, competitive insights and performance data, while challenging them to think differently about their business.
Develop and execute strategic territory and account plans, confidently overcoming objections and navigating competitive environments.
- Consistently exceed monthly and quarterly acquisition and revenue targets while maintaining accurate forecasting and disciplined pipeline management through Salesforce.
- Capture and translate customer insights into action by sharing structured feedback with Product and Marketing teams to continuously refine the value proposition.
- Represent OpenTable within the hospitality community through industry events, networking and active market engagement to strengthen brand presence and credibility.
Please apply if:
- Significant B2B sales experience, with a consistent track record of meeting or exceeding targets in fast-paced environments.
- Native French speaker with professional fluency in English, able to build trust and influence stakeholders across markets.
- A tenacious, goal-oriented self-starter who leads from the front — proactive in outbound activity, resilient in follow-up, and professionally persistent in driving opportunities forward.
- Strong discovery and consultative selling skills — confident asking the right questions, uncovering needs, and reframing how customers think about their business.
- Skilled at negotiation and value-based selling, able to articulate ROI and drive meaningful commercial outcomes during sales engagements.
- Comfortable using data and analytics to inform decisions, build compelling business cases, and strengthen customer conversations.
- Excellent time management, presentation and organisational skills, with confidence handling administrative responsibilities alongside pipeline management. Proficient in Google Workspace and Salesforce CRM.
- A collaborative, insight-driven team player who thrives on feedback, learning and shared success, as much as closing deals.
- Passionate about hospitality and technology. Experience in restaurant management and/or food & beverage sales is strongly preferred but not essential.
