    About this role

    Help London's best restaurants do even better. 🍽️

    With millions of diners, 70,000+ restaurant partners and 25+ years of experience, OpenTable, part of Booking Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), is an industry leader with a passion for helping restaurants thrive. Our world-class technology empowers restaurants to focus on what matters most – their team, their guests, and their bottom line – while enabling diners to discover and book the perfect restaurant for every occasion. 
    Every employee at OpenTable has a tangible impact on what we do and how we do it. You’ll also be part of a global team and its portfolio of metasearch brands. Hospitality is all about taking care of others, and it defines our culture.

    We're looking for an experienced Account Executive to help grow OpenTable's restaurant network across the East and South East of London.

    A little about the role...

    You'll be responsible for identifying and winning new restaurant partners, building strong relationships and helping businesses understand how OpenTable's technology can support their growth.

    This is a consultative, new business sales role where you'll have the opportunity to manage your own territory, develop your pipeline and work closely with restaurants to understand their challenges and offer solutions that make a genuine difference.
