implementation manager, Coffeehouse Excellence

Now Brewing – implementation manager, Coffeehouse Excellence! #tobeapartner 

From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.

As an implementation manager on the Operations Implementation team, you will contribute to Starbucks success by supporting key initiatives with our Back to Starbucks plan. You will enable Coffeehouse Excellence to deliver exceptional customer experience across every channel, empowering partners with the tools, training and support they need to succeed. Through continuous innovation, we evolve the Green Apron Service Model to provide world class hospitality, drive efficiency and enable sustainable growth.

This is an incredible opportunity for a partner to work directly with coffeehouse excellence, product and brand, global supply chain, Starbucks technology, and/or other cross-functional teams to drive the implementation of our Back to Starbucks initiatives.

We are looking for candidates who are:  

• Passionate about collaboration and co-creation
• Can leverage relationships to create genuine connection and influence with expertise
• Can build empathy for coffeehouse partners up, down and across cross-functional lines
• Able to thrive in ambiguity
