Position Description: We're hiring an experienced
Key Account Manager with a background in restaurant technology to own a portfolio of PAR's most important customer relationships. This isn't a single-product seller role - the KAM is the quarterback across POS, Payments, Ordering, and PAR Ops, coordinating internal teams and defending the health of the account through every stage from onboarding to renewal. The ideal candidate is a strong forecaster, a calm operator under escalation pressure, and someone who can turn a hard conversation (a credit dispute, a delayed rollout, a churn risk) into a stronger partnership on the other side.
