Loving your talent

Do you love it when a plan comes together? We do. As an Area Manager, you’ll be masterminding success across your geographic region, leading Store Managers to achieve a healthy balance sheet and a happy team.

Upholding standards. Training new starters. Showing the team how it’s done. As a Barista Maestro (or Team Leader), you’ll be someone to look up to, spreading your love of great coffee to everyone in your store. 

Our Baristas craft incredible coffee, pouring their heart into every cup. Great brews are their passion (and they love to show their creative flair through a spot of latte art). If that sounds like you – and you enjoy being part of a team – take a look at our vacancies or pop into your local store.

When you’re in charge of a store, you can really make an impact. Part of the team on the shop floor, you keep standards sky-high. Customers love your exacting attitude and team members learn from your example. You watch the figures, plan store strategy and put it into action. 

We unleash the power of intelligence to pioneer new frontiers, answer unmet coffee needs and open up new opportunities with our business partners. Exploring unchartered realms of innovation, technology, and design, driven to continuously improve and take everything we do to the next level. Right Coffee, Right Place, Right time.
