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 Senior Onboarding Manager, Enterprise Hotels & Sports + Entertainment, reports to the Director of Onboarding and leads a team of Hotel and Sports + Entertainment (S+E) Onboarding Consultants responsible for delivering complex enterprise implementations. In this role, you will own the performance, development, and operational success of both segments. While Hotels and Sports + Entertainment are distinct lines of business, they share many of the same implementation motions and customer needs, allowing for strong alignment in how the teams operate. You will be the primary leader for the Sports + Entertainment segment, one of Toast's fastest-growing lines of business, while also partnering closely with the leader of our other Enterprise Hotels team. This provides a built-in thought partner for collaboration, strategy, and operational planning while maintaining clear ownership of your segments. As a Senior Manager, you will be expected to anticipate challenges, build scalable solutions, influence cross-functional strategy, and elevate the performance of both your team and the broader onboarding organization.
