Senior Program Manager, R&D Talent Programs

Location: Boston, MA - Hybrid position Toast creates technology to help restaurants and local businesses succeed in a digital world, helping business owners operate, increase sales, engage customers, and keep employees happy. As Senior Program Manager, R&D Talent Programs, you will own the Product/Design talent program end to end—strategy, structure, cohort experience, and stakeholder alignment—serving as the primary point of contact and the planner who builds the cohorts that become the next generation of Toast's Product and Design leadership. In this role, you will collaborate closely with the Early Careers team, who manages university partnerships and the talent pipeline, as well as the Recruitment team, who oversees candidate sourcing and requisition management. Our Product internship program is where you'll start. As that program matures, you will design and build the talent programs that come next—extending to Design and the wider set of programs that develop talent across R&D. This is a role with room to define its own scope over time. This role is ideal for someone who has built a talent program. You will set strategy alongside Product & Design leadership, then do the work that makes strategy real: securing headcount, establishing timelines, designing an evaluation bar, and creating an intern experience good enough that the best candidates say yes. You will work in close partnership with P
