## Hi!

We are Coffee Circle, Germany’s leading sustainable specialty coffee roastery based in Berlin. We offer the world’s finest coffee and equipment to over 150,000 customers online and in our Cafés, driven by our goal to make high-end coffee experiences enjoyable and accessible to all. We foster direct trade relationships with coffee farmers worldwide, pay high prices for the coffee beans, and ensure everyone involved in the value chain gets treated fairly and respectfully. For every kilogram of coffee we sell, we invest € 1 through our Coffee Circle Foundation e.V. to help support sustainable improvements in coffee-growing areas, such as providing clean drinking water, hygiene training, and coffee labs. With over 4 million euros raised in donations, we cannot wait to increase our positive impact with you on our team, one cup of coffee at a time.  
  
  
## Your role:

You’ll set the tone by being a strong role model
* Lead the creation and development of our drink menu, from core offerings to seasonal specials, ensuring they are cost-efficient and consistently executed across all locations
* Design and deliver training programs for our supervisors, enabling them to effectively onboard and upskill their baristas. These trainings should focus on topics that have a direct impact on customer experience
* Collaborate closely with the roastery and marketing teams on new coffee launches, providing feedback on coffee quality and ensuring bar execution aligns with product storytelling
* Regularly conduct quality checks and calibrations to evaluate the impact of training programs, and develop new ways to ensure our teams follow standards and consistently deliver an excellent customer experience
* Report to the Retail Operations Manager and work closely with the Retail Expansion Manager on workflow improvements, guideline updates, etc.
  
**Your profile:**  
  
* At least 3–4 years of experience in the specialty coffee industry. You’re confident in brewing high-quality coffee and hold yourself to high standards
* Minimum 1–2 years of leadership experience with a proven track record of keeping your team motivated and turnover low

* Strong communication and collaboration skills and a proactive, solution-oriented mindset
* Confident working with digital tools like Google Workspace or Microsoft Office
* Excellent written and spoken English (C1–C2 level). Solid German skills are a big plus
* A valid work permit for full-time and long-term employment in Germany is required
