About Coffee Commissary:

At Coffee Commissary, we’re passionate about delivering the finest specialty coffee experience—and that starts with great people. We believe in fostering leadership at every level of the company. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a strong leader and coach to help build, guide, and inspire our barista teams across multiple locations.

Position Overview:

The Barista Trainer is not just a teacher, but a leader—someone who sets the tone for excellence, cultivates a culture of accountability, and helps shape the future of our coffee program. You’ll be responsible for developing baristas into confident, consistent, and hospitality-driven professionals, while also working closely with shop leads and managers to uphold and evolve our standards.

Leadership Responsibilities:

  • Serve as a leader and mentor to all baristas, setting clear expectations and helping team members grow into high-performing professionals.
  • Lead by example on the floor when needed, modeling hospitality, technical precision, and calm under pressure.
  • Empower shop leads and management with training tools and coaching strategies to reinforce standards daily.
  • Foster a culture of feedback, development, and support across all teams.
  • Partner with store leadership to identify opportunities for improvement, alignment, and long-term growth.

Training & Quality Responsibilities:

  • Design and execute comprehensive training programs for new and existing baristas—including espresso, milk texture, latte art, brewing methods, and guest interaction.
  • Conduct regular skills assessments and follow-up coaching to ensure ongoing improvement and consistency.
  • Create and maintain clear training documentation and visual aids.
  • Stay up to date on industry trends and integrate best practices into the program.
  • Champion quality control across all locations, ensuring that every drink meets Coffee Commissary standards.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience as a Barista Trainer or senior-level barista with leadership experience in a high-quality coffee environment.
  • Strong technical proficiency in all brewing methods, espresso preparation, and milk texturing.
  • Natural leadership and mentoring abilities with a focus on communication, collaboration, and accountability.
  • Highly organized, self-directed, and motivated to take ownership of the training function.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, multi-store environment and work effectively with a wide range of personalities and skill levels.
  • A passion for specialty coffee, guest service, and team development.

How to Apply:

If you’re a natural leader who’s excited to shape the future of specialty coffee at Coffee Commissary, we’d love to hear from you. Please submit your resume and a cover letter telling us about your experience—and why you're the right person to lead our barista development efforts.
