Customer Success Manager II - Retail (Dedicated)

Bready* to make a change? Toast sure is bready! 

Toast expanded our best-in-class POS platform and service offerings to begin to service the Retail industry including convenience stores, bottle shops and grocery stores. In support of this expansion, Toast is on the search for best-in-class talent to continue to build out our Retail Customer Success Team. This is a great opportunity to be at the ground floor of a growing business unit within Toast, and to help build the foundation for an exceptional customer experience for our Retail customers.

The Retail Customer Success team works alongside our Restaurant Success teams, but is focused on retail-only and hybrid customers. Here they’re supported by our enablement/operations teams and have access to a robust Customer Success network. But they’ll have a unique opportunity to continue to build new workflows, playbooks and advocacy programs for our newest set of customers. They’ll continue to help build customer profiles and refine engagement models, and advocate for what this growing customer base needs as we continue to build out the product. All this will require tenacity, creativity, ambiguity, insight and empathy. We also find a touch of knowledge and love for the industry helps too.

As a dedicated Customer Success Manager, you serve as the customer’s main point of contact, trusted advisor, and drive a wide variety of customer driven initiatives.  You are a strong relationship builder, understand a customer’s goals and priorities, and translate them into strategic recommendations that will drive a high level of product adoption, satisfaction, referrals and customer retention. 

This is not your average CSM or Account Management team; in joining this team, you will be part of a young Customer Success model. Composed of multiple teams, the Scaled CS team is evolving to better the customer experience. Furthermore, for the Retail business unit you will be working closely with cross-functional partners across the organization and collaborating to support a rapidly growing business unit. We are seeking an individual who is flexible, adaptable, and motivated by change.
