Joining Starbucks as a coffeehouse leader means stepping into a role that is far more than managing daily operations.

In this position, you will have responsibility for coaching and mentoring team partners with a professional approach, fostering a culture of inclusion, teamwork, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate brings a minimum of three years’ experience in retail or customer service management, or alternatively four or more years of military service in the U.S. These experiences provide a valuable foundation for leading a diverse team in a fast-paced hospitality environment focused on delivering quality and value. Starbucks seeks leaders who have a strong entrepreneurial spirit and the capability to thrive in a sales-focused business setting.
