<p>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.</p> <p>Our focus is on building the restaurant platform that helps restaurants adapt, take control, and get back to what they do best: building the businesses they love. And because our technology is purpose-built for restaurants, by restaurant people, restaurants can trust that we’ll deliver on their needs for today while investing in experiences that will power their restaurant of the future. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>The Opportunity</strong><br>We're looking for a Principal Product Manager to lead two critical data platform teams that power Toast's entire engineering and analytics ecosystem.

You'll create reusable data primitives that scale across the organization, eliminating redundant work and unlocking new analytical capabilities.</p> <p><strong>What You'll Do</strong><br>Your mission is to identify high-leverage opportunities where thoughtful platform investments can meaningfully accelerate development velocity across Toast. Rather than building one-off solutions, you'll craft general-purpose capabilities that multiply the productivity of dozens of teams.</p> <p>You'll partner with a diverse set of stakeholders, including data scientists, machine learning engineers, backend engineers, product analysts, engineering managers, and fellow product managers, to understand their needs, prioritize ruthlessly, and deliver platform features that create exponential value.</p> <p><strong>The Impact</strong><br>In this role, your decisions will determine how efficiently hundreds of engineers can work and how quickly Toast can innovate for our customers. You'll be building the infrastructure that makes everything else possible.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>A day in the life (Responsibilities) </strong></p> <ul> <li>Lead, influence and contribute across R&D to drive business value for Toast and our restaurant customers</li> <li>Collaborate closely with product and engineering stakeholders to drive strategic direction for Toast’s data platforms, enabling Toast to solve classes of data problems once</li> <li>Help
