## About the role

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.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of relevant experience across talent programs, early career or university recruiting, program management, or R&D/Product Operations
- A track record of building and growing a talent program—you have stood something up and scaled it
- University, MBA, or early-career recruiting experience strongly preferred, including familiarity with campus recruiting calendars and competitive dynamics
- Exceptional program management: you can hold many parallel workstreams, stakeholders, and hard external deadlines without dropping any of them
- Proven ability to influence without authority—briefing executives, holding senior managers to commitments, and absorbing pushback while keeping the program on track
- Sound judgment on talent, with the ability to build and steward an evaluation bar and calibrate fairly across dissimilar work
