Now Brewing – senior manager, product - Food! #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 senior manager on the Menu - Food team, you will be at the heart of Starbucks’ multibillion-dollar food business. Food plays a critical role in making our coffee moments more meaningful and our brand more relevant. We are looking for a strategic leader to deliver end-to-end food programs and drive unparalleled food experiences that our partners are proud to serve and our customers crave, creating long‑term value for the business.

Our team strives together as one. A genuine love of food brings us together as we craft new experiences for our customers. From new platforms to bold flavors and textures, this is the heart of what we do. We collaborate, we experiment, and yes, we have a lot of fun!
