Now Brewing – Finance Leaders! #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 a director, you will…

• Enjoy working on a fun, high-performing team – have a clear ability to drive the business forward while acting in accordance with Starbucks guiding principles
