Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for a Principal Designer with a proven track record of bringing extraordinary consumer experiences to life
- You’re an accomplished designer with a deep affinity for and experience in the Consumer space
- The ability to call on knowledge of that experience to pave a path for it going forward
- You love to share, learn, and lead by example as much as you love to dive into the details with your sleeves rolled up with your design, product, and engineering teammates
- You’re excited to try new, bold ideas and work closely with your partners to bring them to life
- You’re just as excited by new as you are to ensure the end-to-end basic quality experience lives up to the hype - and you live for making that happen
- You’re insistent on smooth interactions, transitions, haptics and advancing the boundaries of UI
- You’re a tinkerer at heart - always up for trying new things to solve the most pressing JTBD
What the job involves
- You’ll be at the heart of our consumer push, transforming how millions of people discover and engage with dining
- Visionary Leadership: Your influence will extend from initial strategy through to final design execution. With a service design mindset, you’ll bring big ideas, a commitment to excellence, and the discipline to deliver experiences that are both delightful and functional, setting the standard for Toast’s consumer experience
- Craft and Execution: As both a leader and collaborator, you’ll elevate our team’s work by fusing your creativity with an exacting attention to detail. You have a vision bigger than yourself and the humility to see it realized in close partnership with other designers, product teams, and engineers. You understand how to bring experiences to life whether you’re designing in figma or in code
- High Impact in a New Space: This isn’t just another role; it’s a rare opportunity to shape an end-to-end experience from the ground up in a company poised for innovation in consumer tech. Your work will be visible, influential, and lasting as you design solutions that will become the backbone of how diners connect with restaurants in an entirely new way
Our take
Running a restaurant means managing a stressful set of elements, all needing to work together seamlessly to create a good experience for diners. Toast helps to streamline processes, and puts an end to piles of paperwork, by providing a platform whereby tableside ordering, menu modifications, labour management, payroll, and more are all housed in one system that can run from a tablet.
Toast offers restaurant-grade hardware and cloud-based customisable payment solutions to serve clients from startup through to growth phase, as well as a service for established restaurants. By combining all the digital services a restaurant might need, the platform can act as the one and comprehensive solution for restaurants of any size, avoiding restaurateurs having to invest in a range of technologies.
Toast has over 70,000 restaurants on its books, from food trucks to national brands, and its mobile ordering and payment solutions have made it a recognized brand for consumers. The company's IPO in 2021 saw it valued at over $30 billion and since then, it has added more features to its product suite including wholesale and catering order tools. Toast then, has proven its place as an indispensable player in the restaurant space.
