Asset Management Lead

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. Read our Series C memo here → 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! Why we are looking for you At Owner, we help independent restaurant brands compete and win. Our POS hardware is one of the most direct ways we do that. Thousands of restaurants will depend on a fleet of Owner-shipped tablets, card readers, printers, routers, and kiosks to run their business every day. That fleet has to be deployed, tracked, swapped, repaired, and retired without ever losing revenue for the merchant. That lifecycle runs on heroics today. Salesforce is the system of record for what shipped where, but it drifts the moment a device is swapped in the field. Defective hardware comes back ad-hoc with no clean RMA process. Our support team burns the first half of every call asking diagnostic questions because there is no shared playbook for the issues we see again and again. None of this scales past the size we are at today. We are hiring a Asset Management Lead to own this end-to-end. You will be the single person accountable for the health, accuracy, and operational rigor of every customer-deployed asset Owner ships. You will partner closely with our Logistics team on the inbound and outbound flow of hardware, with our IT team on the systems that track it, with our Support organization on the playbooks that resolve issues, and with Engineering on the tooling that makes all of this visible. This is a senior individual-contributor role to start, with the scope set up to grow into managing a team as the function matures. This role is based in San Francisco on a hybrid schedule (2-3 days in office), with regular hands-on time at our South San Francisco warehouse and travel to merchant sites as the work demands. The impact you will have Own customer asset lifecycle end-to-end: deployment, swaps and replacements in the field, RMA, and end-of-life. Make our asset data trustworthy as we scale. Stand up the RMA process for field-defective hardware. Triage QA failures, drive root-cause conversations with vendors, and feed what we learn back into purchasing and engineering decisions. Guide purchasing decisions on customer peripherals (cables, charging bases, readers, printers, routers). Use field failure data to make us pickier about what we buy and ship. Drive the long tail of our Hexnode to Esper migration to completion. Own the cleanup of devices stuck in transition states. Build the troubleshooting playbooks that let our Tier 2 and eventually Tier 1 support teams resolve hardware issues without escalating. Participate in rollout and rollback initiatives for fleet-wide hardware refreshes and configuration changes. Be a first-class voice in the design of our fleet management tooling: per-location device view, CMDB, and guided-troubleshooting surface. Who you’ll work with The Senior Engineering Manager for POS (your direct manager) and the broader POS engineering team Our Logistics team on inbound and outbound flow, vendor management, and reverse logistics Our IT team on MDM, asset systems, and corporate fleet partnership Our Customer Support organization (Tier 1, Tier 2, Director of Support) on troubleshooting playbooks and escalation Our Device Labs engineer on the dividing line between EPD work and operational work External hardware vendors on QA, RMA, and root cause What we’re looking for You probably will not check every box below. We are intentionally open to several backgrounds: IT asset managers, hardware support engineers, MDM administrators, or hybrid IT ops and CS enablement profiles. What we care about is that you have done this kind of work at scale, in some form, and have opinions about how it should run. 5+ years of relevant experience across some combination of: IT asset management, hardware support engineering, MDM administration (Esper, Hexnode, Kandji, Jamf, or similar), field operations, or customer-facing IT for a hardware product. Direct experience with the operational reality of a deployed hardware fleet: RMA workflows, vendor RCA conversations, reverse logistics, asset data hygiene at scale. Strong systems thinking. You can look at a process that runs on tribal knowledge and turn it into something repeatable, documented, and measurable. Writing chops. Troubleshooting playbooks live or die on the quality of the writing. Comfort working with engineers as peers. You will be embedded in an engineering team and will help shape the tools we build. Track record of partnering with customer-facing teams to make their work easier. Nice to have Background in POS, retail hardware, or another industry with deployed customer-owned devices Experience contributing to or maintaining a configuration management database (CMDB) Familiarity with Salesforce as a system of record for hardware assets Comfort writing light scripts or SQL to investigate asset data A builder’s instinct. Owner is a company of builders, and we lean heavily on tools like Claude and Codex to turn one person’s idea into a working tool in a day. If you have used these tools (or want to) to automate your own work, stand up internal dashboards, prototype playbook surfaces, or otherwise ship beyond the limits of “what’s in your job description,” that energy will land well here. Prior experience as the first person in a function, with growth into managing the team that followed Pay and benefits The estimated base salary range for this role is $85,000, plus a generous pre-IPO equity package Other benefits include comprehensive health coverage, hybrid workplace in San Francisco, unlimited PTO, plus extra fun perks!
