Toast creates technology to help restaurants and local businesses succeed in a digital world, helping business owners operate, increase sales, engage customers, and keep employees happy.
Toast’s Customer onboarding, hardware orders and inventory flows run on business systems that our Supply Chain, Finance, Care, and Onboarding teams rely on every day.

You will lead a team of product managers and BSAs while acting as a strategic product partner to leaders in Supply Chain, Finance, Accounting, Care, Onboarding, and Customer Success Operations. You’ll also work hand in hand with upstream and downstream BTT teams and R&D, so data and processes flow cleanly end to end across Salesforce, NetSuite, and the platforms between them and deliver scalable, high-impact solutions that support Toast’s exponential growth.
