You will build and lead the new underwriting function in Bengaluru, defining operating models, workflows, SLAs and controls while making hands‑on credit decisions and reviewing cases.
10+ years in lending or credit operations, proven people‑leadership, experience scaling teams or functions, strong data‑analytics and automation skills (SQL, BI tools), and ability to work cross‑functionally with product, engineering and risk in a global setting.
The role establishes Toast’s Embedded Finance Operations footprint in India, enabling the company to expand its financing products for restaurants through automated, data‑driven underwriting that supports growth and risk management.
A seasoned lending operations leader who enjoys building teams from scratch, combines strategic thinking with hands‑on execution, and thrives on driving automation and cross‑functional collaboration.
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.
Beyond point-of-sale and digital ordering, Toast offers financial solutions, including Toast Capital, that help restaurants access the funding they need to grow. We are building a new Embedded Finance Operations footprint in Bengaluru, and we're looking for the leader who will build it. This role is an extended arm of Toast's US Embedded Finance Operations team (40+ people) and is critical as we expand our footprint and international strategy. The role sits within the Embedded Finance Operations organization and partners closely with the US-based underwriting team and its leaders. As Manager of Embedded Finance, you will set up and lead a high-performing underwriting function from the ground up, working closely with Product, Engineering, and Risk partners in Bengaluru and with your leadership in the US.
This is a player-coach role. You'll understand the lending business deeply enough to make and review credit decisions yourself, while building the team, processes, and tooling that let the function scale.
The scope is big. This team sits at the center of how Toast uses automation, data, and AI to change how lending operations work. If you're a lending operations leader who loves building something new, brings an automation and analytics mindset, and can lead people through change, read on!
