Training Professional (Level 1) | Arlington, TX | Full Time | On-Site

TURN YOUR COFFEE EXPERIENCE INTO SOMETHING BIGGER

You’ve spent years building your expertise in specialty coffee. You’re smart, dependable, and driven. But maybe you feel like you’ve hit a ceiling. If you’re looking for a role with more purpose, broader reach, and room to grow beyond the four walls of a café, this could be the opportunity you’ve been working toward.

For more than 16 years, Texas Coffee School has helped aspiring coffee shop owners across the country build thriving independent businesses.

As part of our training team, you won’t just teach coffee skills. You’ll guide students from idea to launch and see their success unfold in the real world. Today, our alumni operate hundreds of coffee shops and mobile ventures that create jobs, strengthen local economies, and help shape the future of specialty coffee.

Few roles allow you to see the impact of your work so directly. There’s nothing quite like watching someone open their own shop knowing you helped make it happen. As one of our Coffee Training Professionals, you are not removed from the result. You are part of it.

THE ROLE

This role teaches Texas Coffee School’s hands-on coffee training and business curriculum to aspiring coffee shop owners and their teams.

As part of our team of trainers, you will lead adult learners through barista skills, operational systems, and business fundamentals using professional equipment in a classroom environment. You will also support day-to-day operations, student experience, and occasional consulting or curriculum projects.

This is a full-time, salaried, on-site position based at our Arlington, TX facility.

Strong public speaking and confident communication with adult learners are essential. Recent specialty coffee industry experience is required.

TRAINING AND GROWTH

You don’t need to be a coffee business expert on day one. Our internal training system is structured, intensive, and built to develop the right person quickly. You’ll be learning fast, practicing often, and receiving consistent feedback and coaching along the way.

This role offers a clear path for growth within our company. The right candidate will be challenged, supported, and given increasing responsibility and compensation as they prove they can perform at a high level.

SCHEDULE

Our work schedule is Wednesday through Sunday. We rarely exceed 40 hours per week. We highly value quality of life and offer a unique schedule that allows our training team to complete most responsibilities across three immersive class days, with two shorter and lighter prep days to start the workweek.

Growth Marketing Manager | Arlington, TX | Full Time | Hybrid

YOU’VE BEEN THE ONE DOING THE WORK. NOW OWN THE OUTCOME.

You’ve built campaigns that generated revenue, not just impressions. You’ve made content that performed, written emails people actually opened, analyzed funnels, and figured out where they leaked. You’ve done it with limited resources because that’s how it works at your company. And yet the role you’re in doesn’t match what you’re capable of. Maybe you’re pitching ideas to people who don’t understand them, or taking orders on work you aren’t proud of. You want ownership, not tasks. You want to see the direct line between what you do and what the business earns.

At Texas Coffee School, you’ll own two mandates from day one. The immediate priority is demand generation (filling more seats in our flagship 3-Day Coffee Business Master Class®), which means owning enrollment strategy, creating organic social and short-form video content, and optimizing the funnel from first touch to registration. In parallel, you’ll design an alumni engagement system that turns our graduates into a long-term revenue channel. You’ll start out working alongside our external content and paid media partners, and as you prove yourself, the role grows into full ownership of the marketing function. You won’t be asked to do everything immediately. You will be expected to grow into everything over time.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

Texas Coffee School is the nationally recognized leader in coffee business education. Since 2010, more than 750 coffee shops across all 50 states have opened as a direct result of our training. We have a growing alumni base, a flagship product many graduates call “life-changing,” and significant room to grow. Every class you help fill puts someone on the path to building a business that changes their life and the community they serve.

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH

You’ll report directly to our founder and CEO, a former award-winning advertising agency creative director who has lead our marketing strategy himself for 16 years while leading the company. The business has outgrown his bandwidth for this important function, which is why this role exists. You’ll work with someone who speaks your language, understands the strategy behind the work, has a solid foundation of resources in place, and holds a high bar. You’ll also have a seat at the table on business decisions and the kind of hands-on mentorship in marketing and business strategy that most mid-level roles never offer.

SCHEDULE

Monday through Friday. Hybrid at our Arlington, TX facility. You’ll work several days per week from our training facility alongside the training team, in an environment where you can see the direct impact of your work every class day
