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.
A day in the life (Responsibilities)
The Retail Team is a newer vertical to Toast, building out our sales and servicing capacity to retail customers. As an Onboarding Consultant, Toast’s way of saying an “Implementation Specialist”, you serve as the customer’s relationship manager & point of contact from the time that the account purchases Toast, through the onboarding phase of the customer journey. You are expected to work autonomously under an Onboarding Manager to achieve monthly activation goals, prioritize work based on customer need and Toast requirements and deliver high quality customer interactions. To thrive as an Onboarding Consultant at Toast, you are flexible, motivated by aggressive growth goals, and excel in ambiguous environments!
The Retail Team has two different types of Onboarding Consultants - Retail Onboarding Consultants, those who are responsible for the end-to-end onboarding experience of a new customer, and Guest/Menu Onboarding Consultants, those who closely partner with Retail Onboarding Consultants and service a wider range of customers by building their menus and activating Guest modules. If selected to interview, you will be considered for both positions and your recruiter and interviewers can tell you more about the differences between the roles.
