    About this role

    Our mission is to empower the global restaurant community to delight their guests, do what they love, and thrive. 

    To help achieve this mission, Toast is expanding into new countries and markets and so we are currently seeking an Account Executive to serve as a founding member of our Australian team. As a founding Account Executive, this is an opportunity to build something meaningful from the ground up, where you will be an early member of our team that is transforming the way restaurants operate locally. Using a consultative approach, you will prospect, build relationships, and sign up new restaurateurs in your local area. 

    By understanding their unique needs, you will develop a customised solution that helps Melbourne businesses thrive. We need your passion and sales expertise to help us build the Toast brand in your geographic territory.

    Your work will have an immediate and lasting impact, requiring a blend of operational sales expertise and a founder/entrepreneurial mindset.  As the cornerstone of this function in this region, you will collaborate closely with the RVP and other stakeholders to lay the foundation for sustainable success in the Melbourne region. The role offers autonomy, the chance to navigate ambiguity, and the opportunity to create frameworks, processes, and initiatives that will define the region’s growth for years to come.

    This is a field sales opportunity. Candidates must live locally to Melbourne, Australia or be willing to relocate.
