Position Description: 

PAR’s hardware portfolio is the foundation of the most complete, integrated restaurant technology ecosystem in the industry. From POS terminals and self-service kiosks to drive-thru hardware and payment devices, PAR equipment runs the operations of more than 100,000 restaurants worldwide. Hardware is also the connective tissue that lets PAR’s software portfolio (POS, Ordering, Pay, Loyalty, Guest360) deliver on its “Better Together” promise.

We are looking for a Product Marketing Manager to own the messaging, positioning, and competitive narrative for PAR’s hardware portfolio, repair and hardware services, ISV partner ecosystem, and select international markets.
