The Account Management team’s mission is to make distinctive, lasting, and substantial relationships with Restaurants focusing on unlocking Toast's value, advocating for them within Toast, and ensuring mutual success. They are the customer’s (in this case, a restaurant location or group) long-term key advocate within Toast, creating a positive customer experience that ultimately results in the renewal of the subscription. We ensure any major issues get resolved, gather feedback on Toast as a product and a team and closing that feedback loop with the toast team, bringing that customer to a state where they are an advocate for toast, and up-sell the customer on additional hardware, modules, and contracts guaranteeing service with Toast.

As Strategic Account Manager, you’ll inherit a high performing national Enterprise and Mid-Market account portfolio, develop relationships with them, and act as a single point of contact. You will be accountable for client satisfaction, reference-ability, and revenue growth of that portfolio. The Strategic Account Manager works cross functionally to tackle customer issues and work toward resolution as well as advocate on the customer’s behalf. Our strategic account base has a high level of professionalism, complexity, size, and expectations and so you should have precise organization, clear communication, and experience in high level customer facing roles.
