Senior Solutions Consultant

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. The mission of the Enterprise Solutions Team at Toast is to empower our largest customers with technology that scales. The Senior Solutions Consultant plays a critical role in ensuring that enterprise restaurant brands are set up for long-term success: owning the design, integration architecture, and implementation planning that transforms a signed contract into a thriving, fully deployed operation. As a Senior Solutions Consultant, you will serve as the primary technical owner from the moment a customer commits to Toast through the completion of their rollout. You'll work hand-in-hand with Pre-Sales Engineers, Solutions Delivery Leads, Product Managers, Technical Onboarding Consultants, and Customer Success Managers to ensure that a customer’s technical solution is sound and that they are ready to scale. You'll translate complex business requirements into scalable technical designs, own integration specifications end-to-end, and be the single source of truth on solution integrity across the customer journey. If you're energized by designing systems that have to work at scale—and by being the person who ensures they actually do—read on!
