Breakdown:

• Implementation (75%) - The primary function of the Field Implementation Technicians is to be the on-site (or remote) point of contact for our customers. This may include working with our Account Executives and conducting Site Surveys to ensure customers understand the physical and network requirements before installation; Completing the installation of our hardware and networking equipment. Training owners, managers, FOH & BOH teams on leveraging Toast to accomplish their specific needs of the Toast platform; Conduct on-site or remote support on or after their Activation dates.
• Internal best practices documentation and enablement (10%) - As Toast scales its international presence, the Field Implementation Technicians (FITs) are responsible for documenting country-specific best practices and nuances, in particular calling out where the process deviates from the US customer base (for eg. all menus in Ireland are tax- inclusive, and tax is called VAT). They will also be responsible for training and ramping up new FITs and regional contracting partners.
• Post Live Relationship Management (15%) - As the client is transitioned over into the post-onboarding phase of the customer journey, the FIT is expected to ensure this transition goes smoothly and therefore is available for remote Go-live support to assist and guide the customer during their first several days of usage by providing post-live remote guidance, troubleshoot problems or follow-up training. Given that we are in the early days of international onboarding, this role will spend more time on post-live support than US counterparts, including site visits with the product team where necessary. This also may require some after-hours support for equipment break-fix in the field.
