LESS OF A JOB, MORE OF A LIFESTYLE

Training Professional | Arlington, TX | Full Time | On-Site

TURN YOUR COFFEE EXPERIENCE INTO SOMETHING BIGGER

You have a foundation 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, more structure, and room to grow, this could be the opportunity you’ve been working toward.

At Texas Coffee School, we help people across the country build thriving, independent coffee 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. Few roles offer that kind of visibility into the impact of your work. There’s nothing quite like watching someone open their own shop knowing you helped make it happen.

THE ROLE

This role teaches Texas Coffee School’s curriculum to entrepreneurs opening coffee businesses and to their staff. You’ll deliver hands-on coffee education using professional equipment and teach our proven business curriculum for starting, operating, and growing a coffee shop.

This is a full-time, salaried position based at our Arlington, TX facility. You will also assist with day-to-day operations, customer experience, and coffee business consulting projects.

Strong public speaking and communication skills in leading a room of adult students is essential. Previous experience in the specialty coffee industry, 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 getting consistent feedback and coaching the entire 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 team to complete most responsibilities across three immersive class days, with two shorter and lighter prep days to start the workweek.
