中型市场客户经理，Toast零售业务
Mid Market Account Executive, Toast Retail
在为餐饮业主打造创新的POS平台多年后，Toast正扩展到新的食品和饮料概念：便利店、杂货店和酒类商店。Toast零售平台已赢得独立运营商的青睐。现在我们正向高端市场迈进，这个职位是证明商业模式的关键销售角色，因为我们正在追求越来越复杂的零售客户。
##### **职位概览**
作为Toast零售部门的创始中型客户经理，你将专注于杂货、酒类和便利店运营商，寻找并完成多地点零售交易。这些是复杂的客户，有真正的采购委员会，多层次的合规要求，深度的库存和SKU需求，以及经过多年建立的现有系统。赢得他们需要一种目前在Toast零售中尚未完全存在的销售策略。你将一个交易一个交易地帮助构建它。
这不是一个希望继承完整手册的角色。我们的中小企业业务有一些成功案例，领导层正在投资，还有一些开放性问题需要现场销售人员去解答。当买家是运营副总裁而不是店主时，发现过程是什么样的？哪些中小企业策略可以向上扩展，哪些需要重新构建？为了在40家门店的杂货连锁店中具有可信度，我们需要产品提供什么？你将形成假设，在实际交易中进行测试，并将有效的方法反馈给下一位客户经理。
你将向Toast零售部门中型客户销售经理汇报。这是一个远程职位，预计有30%或更多的出差，包括门店走访和现场访问。

After years of building an innovative POS platform for restaurateurs, Toast is expanding into new food and beverage concepts: convenience stores, grocery stores, and bottle shops. The Toast Retail platform is already winning with independent operators. Now we are moving upmarket, and this is one of the key sales roles that proves the commercial motion as we pursue increasingly complex retail accounts.
##### **Role Overview**
As a founding Mid Market Account Executive for Toast Retail, you will source and close multi-location retail deals with a focus on grocery, liquor, and convenience operators. These are complex accounts with real buying committees, layered compliance requirements, deep inventory and SKU demands, and incumbent systems that took years to entrench. Winning them requires a sales motion that does not fully exist at Toast Retail yet. You will help build it, one deal at a time.
This is not a role for someone who wants to inherit a finished playbook. Some proof points exist from our SMB business, leadership is investing, and there is a set of open questions that closers in the field have to go answer. What does discovery look like when the buyer is a VP of Operations and not an owner? Which SMB motions translate upmarket and which have to be rebuilt? What do we need from Product to be credible in a 40 store grocery chain? You will form hypotheses, test them in live deals, and feed what works back so the next AEs can run it.
You will report to the Manager, Mid Market Sales, Toast Retail. This is a remote opportunity with travel expectations of 30% or more, including store walks and on site visits.
##### **A day in the life (Responsibilities)**
- **Pipeline and prospecting:** Build a qualified pipeline of multi-location grocery, liquor, and convenience operators through category research, cold calling, networking, and close partnership with our SMB Retail teams to identify accounts ready to move upmarket.
- **Retail centric discovery:** Run disciplined discovery against buying committees rather than single owners. Learn the operational realities that move a category buyer, from inventory depth and scan data to shrink, margin, and compliance, and turn them into a compelling case for Toast Retail.
- **Value based selling:** Create demand by educating prospects on the Toast Retail value proposition through demonstrations and tailored business cases. Sell on platform value and outcomes over price, and help operators understand which products actually fit their scale.
- **Full lifecycle ownership:** Own the entire journey, from lead development and financial structuring to contract negotiation and close. Collaborate with Account Service and Implementation to ensure a seamless handoff on retail installs that are meaningfully harder than a single site.
- **Complex deal navigation:** Manage lengthy sales cycles with real ambiguity. Multithread across operations, finance, IT, and merchandising, and develop champions inside layered retail organizations.
- **Internal collaboration:** Partner with Legal, Deal Desk, Biz Ops, and Finance to structure deals, and hold your ground in negotiations so terms align with Toast's goals. Work with Product, Marketing, and Enablement to close the gaps between us and a repeatable Mid Market Retail motion, and escalate the ones you cannot close yourself.
- **Build as you close:** Convert what works in your live deals into discovery notes, demo flows, and business case models the next AEs can run. Distinguish a repeatable process from a one off hero deal, and help codify the former.
- **Voice of the retailer:** Bring the Mid Market retailer's needs back into the product roadmap with specificity and evidence, not anecdotes.
- **Revenue mindset:** Optimize for long term realized revenue, not just bookings. Evaluate the full financial impact of every deal, ask what it will actually cost us, and make thoughtful trade offs on pricing, discounts, and terms while protecting Toast's bottom line.
- **Operational excellence:** Maintain high standards of execution, prioritization, and follow through in Salesforce and the broader GTM tech stack, and help establish the conversion benchmarks that do not exist yet.
##### **What you'll need to thrive (Requirements)**
- 5+ years of successful technology or professional services sales experience, ideally within SaaS, payments, or retail or restaurant industry technology.
- A track record sourcing and closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals, ideally multi-location or upmarket.
- Proven skills in complex deal development, financial structuring, negotiation, and closing with both new and existing customers, with a focus on selling on value rather than deep discounting.
- Proficiency with MEDDPICC or a comparable qualification methodology, plus disciplined pipeline management and forecasting.
- A builder's instinct. You are energized rather than frustrated by ambiguity, and when a process is missing your instinct is to write it rather than wait for it.
- Exceptional customer engagement and active listening. You do not just pitch, you solve problems for operators.
- Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to hold the room with executive stakeholders.
- Comfort educating customers on the fundamentals of US credit card processing, including surcharging and processing nuances.
- Strong organizational skills and a disciplined, process driven approach to selling, reporting, and tracking.
- Ability to travel 30% or more.
##### **What will help you stand out**
- Experience selling into or operating within grocery, convenience, liquor, or specialty retail.
- Fluency in the operational realities of retail: inventory depth and SKU management, scan data, shrink, category management, age verification and compliance, fuel and foodservice.
- Experience selling into franchised organizations, navigating both franchisor and franchisee requirements, buying processes, and stakeholder management
- Experience working with cross-functional stakeholders to complete complex RFPs, bonus if you’ve helped write a RFP for a prospect just starting their evaluation process
- Experience helping stand up a new segment, vertical, or motion inside an existing company, especially taking an SMB product upmarket.
- Experience in a fast paced, high growth technology environment.
