Sous Chef is our AI-powered assistant that helps operators make faster, smarter decisions. We’re in an exciting phase of scaling the product across thousands of restaurants. Foundational to this expansion is delivering accurate, personalized, and trustworthy intelligence at scale. That’s where you come in.

About this roll*:

As the Senior Product Manager for Sous Chef, our AI assistant for restaurants & customers. You’ll lead the development of key internal systems that power Sous Chef’s intelligence, accuracy, and context awareness. This includes everything from improving system-wide quality and permissions enforcement to unlocking personalization capabilities for all Toast customers. 

You’ll partner closely with engineering, machine learning, design, and product leaders to evolve Sous Chef from a helpful assistant into a deeply personalized, context-aware agent for every Toast customer. If you’re energized by technical product challenges, thrive in ambiguity, and care deeply about building amazing customer experiences, this role is for you. 

  • You will be the architect of Sous Chef’s most critical infrastructure and personalization systems.
  • Go deep on how AI systems reason, respond, and learn—then build the user interfaces that bring it to life.
  • What you build will touch thousands of restaurants & retail shops, every day, across the globe.
  • Drive initiatives to achieve and maintain benchmarks for accuracy and run evals.
  • Define and launch tooling to enable no-code A/B testing of model configurations and system prompts.
  • Partner with ML and QA teams to systematize response quality improvements across models and use cases.

Do You Have the Right Ingredients?

  • 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in AI/ML, infrastructure, or personalization.
  • Experience using LLMs, and preferably with prompt tuning and/or conversational agents.
  • Proven success delivering system-level products that interface with multiple teams and technologies.
  • Strong technical fluency; comfortable working with engineers on architecture, APIs, and data pipelines.
  • Experience shipping platform capabilities such as memory, permissions, or data ingestion tools.
  • Ability to manage ambiguity, set clear priorities, and influence across a large organization.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Special Sauce:

  • Familiarity with data governance and permissions in enterprise products.
  • Experience working on AI or personalization in a B2B or vertical SaaS environment.
  • Background in hospitality, operations, or consumer analytics.
