As a Senior Product Analyst for Toast you’ll work closely with the product teams to understand customer behavior and help inform where we focus our R&D efforts. You will build measurement frameworks, dashboards, and utilize AI tooling to bring data, analytics and insights into the product development process supporting a specific line of business while ensuring consistency and integration across products.

You love solving complex problems and getting to the ground truth for what’s happening in our product and with our customers. You are grounded in the numbers, can work cross-functionally to tie different data sources and inputs together, and can help uncover and translate insights into customer and user needs. This is a trusted advisor role and you love ensuring data is driving solid decision making and improving our products and customer experience everyday.

The Product Analytics team sits inside of R&D Operations at Toast. The R&D Operations team is on a mission to empower our  teams to build great products efficiently, effectively, and at scale. We remove obstacles, foster alignment, and help teams focus on what matters most—solving real problems for our customers. Operating at the intersection of Product, UX, Engineering, Marketing, and Customer Success, we ensure that teams are equipped with the right processes, strategies, and insights to drive meaningful impact.
