As the Director of Product for BEP Back Office, you will lead the strategy, vision, and execution for our next-generation accounting and restaurant operations platform. You’ll own the core accounting foundation (GL, AP/AR, reporting, reconciliations) while also guiding the development of operational modules such as inventory management, menu engineering, recipe costing, and cost-of-goods workflows. Your leadership will ensure restaurant operators have a unified, data-driven system that delivers financial clarity and operational control.
Who we are:
Back Office by Buyers Edge Platform, dismantles siloed restaurant technology systems, offering Accounting & Bookkeeping, Payroll, Food Cost Management, and AP Automation as a unified tech stack. Developed by restaurant owners for restaurant owners, Back Office goes beyond traditional software; it's backed by industry experts who guide operators to make faster, more informed business decisions surrounding revenue, cost of goods, labor, and compliance. Through a combination of continued education and user-friendly software, independent, multi-location, franchise, and enterprise restaurant groups gain actionable insights into their performance, empowering them to make data-based operational decisions!
We are focused on performance, not presence. What matters is not that you are sitting in front of your computer from 9am to 5pm, but rather that you build highly effective and efficient software within agreed timelines. In practice, this might mean working extra hours some days to hit that while having other days that allow for more free time and recovery. Our goal is for Buyers Edge Platform to be a place where people are able to work in a way that is the most efficient and effective for them. This will enable us all to enjoy the solutions we build and the team we are on.
We are unable to offer sponsorship for this position.
