We connect engineering tools and resource usage, engineering metrics and customer outcomes into one trusted view, and we provide the reliability, cost, adoption and effectiveness data that leaders use to decide what to build, standardize or retire. As AI speeds up how Toast builds software, it also changes what we spend and how we need to track it.\nWe are looking for a Principal Technical Product Manager to bring product discipline to this work. Our work starts from a business need, and you will dig into it with the people who have it and shape it into requirements and products they rely on. Your areas include Comprehensive Operational Reporting and FinOps tools for COGS management and software capitalization. You will report to the head of Technical Operations, who owns how we build and makes the final call on priorities. You own the what and the why: customer insight, value definition, product strategy and roadmap recommendations. We expect you to bring an independent point of view and challenge assumptions. You will also support Toast's SRE tooling team with product management for the internal tools engineers use to run production.\nA day in the life (Responsibilities)\nGet close to internal customers. Run user research with R&D leaders, engineering managers and Finance to understand the decisions they make, their jobs to be done, and where today's reports fall short.\nShape the product strategy. Develop and drive the strategy for TechOps products, in line with the team's overall direction and Toast's goals. \nTurn business needs into well-scoped requirements. Write PRDs with measurable success criteria.\nRecommend what to build first. Each quarter, develop roadmap recommendations with engineering input. Surface the tradeoffs, bring a recommendation with your reasoning, and raise cross-team dependencies in the monthly portfolio review.\nBuild tight feedback loops. Ship in small increments to pilot users, hold regular reviews with Finance and engineering leaders, and use usage data and feedback to decide what changes next.\nManage adoption and lifecycle. Define target customers, adoption goals and measures of customer value. Track whether each capability solves the problem it was built for, and recommend whether to invest further, standardize, make it self-service, consolidate or retire it.\nSupport SRE tooling. Bring the same research and requirements practice to the SRE tooling team, helping define problems and success measures for tools used by on-call engineers.\n**This is a hybrid role requiring two days in the office per week**\nWhat you'll need to thrive (Requirements)\n7+ years of technical product management experience, including data, analytics, reporting or internal platform products.\nA track record of user research and discovery: interviews, jobs-to-be-done, usability testing, and turning qualitative and quantitative evidence into requirements.\nExperience taking ambiguous, compliance driven, lightly documented problems and producing crisp PRDs, success metrics and phased plans.\nComfort with data. You write SQL, understand how data pipelines source and transform data, read data models, challenge metric definitions, and work out why two numbers disagree.\nExperience building for internal customers such as Finance, People teams or engineering, and aligning senior stakeholders without direct authority.\nConcise, structured written and verbal communication.\nDaily use of AI tools in your own work, from research to analysis to writing.\nNice to haves:\nExperience with FinOps, cloud or AI cost management,\nExpereince with COGS or software capitalisation, \nExperience with engineering productivity metrics, or SRE and incident tooling.\nAI at Toast\nAt Toast, one of our company values is that we're hungry to build and learn.
