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 Specialist | Arlington, TX | Organic Social Strategy, Content Creation & Growth Marketing | 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 social content that performed, written emails people actually opened, and figured out where marketing funnels leaked. You’ve done it with limited resources because that’s how it works at your company. 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 create and what the business earns.

At Texas Coffee School, you’ll focus on two priorities. The first is demand generation, filling more seats in our flagship 3-Day Coffee Business Master Class^®, with a strong emphasis on organic social media strategy, short-form video, and community engagement. You’ll turn compelling stories into content that builds trust and drives enrollment, supported by email campaigns, landing pages, and funnel improvements. The second is building an alumni engagement program that creates lasting relationships, referrals, and new revenue opportunities.

You’ll work alongside our external marketing partners, bringing your own strategy, creative thinking, and hands-on execution to the table. As you prove yourself, the role grows into broader ownership of the marketing function.

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 led our marketing strategy for 16 years. The business has outgrown his bandwidth, which is why this role exists. You’ll work with someone who understands the craft, holds a high bar, values your ideas, and offers the kind of hands-on mentorship in marketing and business strategy that most mid-level roles never get.

You’ll also build on an established marketing foundation, collaborating with outside partners who support paid media, SEO, website development, and analytics. But the day-to-day creative production and much of the marketing execution will be yours to own.

SCHEDULE

Monday through Friday, hybrid. You’ll typically work from home on Mondays and on-site at our Arlington facility Tuesday through Friday. Occasionally, you’ll work a weekend day to capture live class content, with a weekday off in exchange. You’ll still work no more than five days per week, and hours rarely exceed 40.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Demand Generation

• Develop and execute an organic social strategy that identifies new audiences, builds an engaged community, and generates qualified interest in our classes
• Find compelling stories, develop creative concepts, and personally shoot, edit, and publish social content people genuinely want to watch
• Test new content ideas, formats, and approaches, using performance data to improve audience growth, lead generation, and enrollment
• Write, build, and launch email campaigns that nurture prospective students and turn interest into registrations
• Build and improve landing pages, lead capture, and follow-up campaigns that move prospective students from initial interest to enrollment
• Track meaningful results, including qualified leads and registrations, rather than relying solely on views, likes, and followers
• Manage community engagement and collaborate with outside marketing partners on paid media, SEO, website improvements, and campaign performance

• Identify what graduates need and would pay for, creating valuable content, outreach, and offers that keep them connected to Texas Coffee School
• Launch a referral program that turns successful graduates into a source of qualified leads

• Hands-on experience writing, building, and executing email campaigns
• Strong analytical skills, including Google Analytics, email and social reporting, and conversion data
• Systems thinking. You understand how social content, email nurturing, lead generation, and conversion work together to drive revenue
• Self-directed, organized, and comfortable taking ownership without constant oversight
