## Description

We're looking for a Product Lead to join our New Ventures team and help grow one of Toast's newest products.

As a senior individual contributor, you will work directly with a small team of engineers and a design engineer.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Helping shape the product's strategy and roadmap as we move from MVP to product-market fit and scale.

- Owning outcome briefs end to end, framing the problem, working with the team through shipping, and measuring results.

- Running weekly cycle planning with the engineers, design engineer, and team lead to decide what to build each week and why.

- Learning where early customers get value and where they get stuck, and using that to decide what to double down on and what to drop.

- Defining what success looks like, ensuring it's measured, and using data to change course when needed.

- Keeping quality high where it counts, and knowing where good enough is fine.

- Investing in what growth needs, such as onboarding, reliability, self-serve, and integrations when the product is ready to scale.

- Working with sales, marketing, support, and operations on positioning, pricing, and launches, and bringing what they hear back to the team.

- Sharing clear updates with engineers, leadership, and partners on what we're learning and what's next.

Requirements:

- 5+ years of product management experience, including owning a product or major product area and its results.

- Experience taking an early product from MVP to product-market fit and meaningful growth.

- Ability to point to product decisions that came directly from time spent with customers.

- Experience making complex workflows simple for users.

- Understanding of how software gets built well enough to weigh tradeoffs with engineers, spot risks, and ask the right questions.

- Experience working directly with engineering teams without a dedicated engineering manager, and owning planning and priorities week to week.

- Comfort with metrics, setting goals up front, and letting data change your mind.

- Regular use of AI tools in work and ability to explain specifically how.

- Clear writing and speaking skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.

- Self-directed and low ego, with ability to keep things moving without perfect clarity.

Nice to haves:

- Experience in operationally complex industries.

- Founder or early-startup experience, or time on an internal incubation or new ventures team.

- Experience building with LLMs or shipping AI-powered product experiences.

- Experience pricing and packaging a new product.

- Comfort pulling own data with SQL or similar tools.

- Coding experience or prototyping in code today.
