Starbucks Assistant Manager

Unique Opportunity! - 40hr Contract

The Role Outline: Your Shift at a Glance As our Assistant Starbucks Manager, you are not just running shifts; you are on a 12 month fast track to the top job. From the 28th of September, our store is undergoing a massive three week refurbishment, completely transforming its look and doubling in capacity. You will be walking into what is effectively a brand new store, learning the ropes as a Manager in Training with the very real goal of taking over the reins completely next year.

Why Village? At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality, genuine connections, and creating lively spaces for our guests to work, eat, relax, and play.

Previous supervisory experience is essential, but your ambition, commercial drive, and readiness to step up matter much more to us. If you are hungry to build a management career and want the thrill of launching a newly expanded store, we will give you the exact training and platform you need to succeed. Because it really does take a Village.

How the Village Thrives We live our culture through four simple commitments:

• We Can & We Do: We show up to make a genuine difference and do fantastic work every day, with purpose.

• We Will: Treat each other with respect and dignity. No ego, no drama. We try our best and look out for each other.

• We Care: We care about our impact on guests, the community, and each other.

Your Shift: What You Will Actually Be Doing We do not just need someone to steam milk and count the till. We need a commercial leader in training. We trust you to handle:

• The Store Relaunch: Managing the growth. You will navigate our massive capacity expansion, leading a growing team through a highly anticipated reopening and a huge projected surge in revenue.

• The Management Fast Track: Preparing for the top job. Our current Manager is heading back to university next year. You will spend the next 12 months learning the commercial, financial, and strategic elements of the business so you are ready to step into their shoes.

• The Floor Leadership: Running the operation. You will drive flawless brand standards, ensuring every single flat white and frappuccino is crafted to absolute perfection, even when the queue is out the door.

• The Talent Development: Coaching the baristas. You will train, motivate, and manage our Starbucks team, keeping morale high and ensuring they deliver that brilliant, high energy Village welcome.

How We Succeed Together We do not micromanage. It takes a village, so we believe in Ownership & Integrity, giving you the autonomy to solve practical problems and own the floor. We Empower & Elevate our people. If you want Room to Grow, this role is the ultimate definition of internal development, designed specifically to fast track your management career.
