Melbourne, Australia District Manager

Toast is driven by building the all-in-one restaurant platform that helps restaurants operate their business, increase sales, engage guests, and keep employees happy.

To help achieve this mission, Toast is expanding into new countries and markets and so we are currently seeking a District Sales Manager to serve as a founding member of our Australian team. As a founding District Manager, 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.

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.

As a Sales Manager, you are pivotal to the growth of the Toast brand in your district. You will report into a Regional Vice President and will hire, build, and coach a team of Territory Account Executives who are in the field everyday transforming the way restaurants operate.
