Barista / Chief Operating Officer with Entrepreneurial Mindset (m/f/d)
What we’re looking for:
We are looking for a passionate individual to join us as a Barista, someone who masters their craft down to the smallest detail, is open to creative coffee variations, and has experience in opening a coffee house. And most importantly: someone who shares our values.
Who we are:
Mary’s is a coffee house that targets a very specific audience. Our mission is to give sincere recognition to those who contribute to society every day. They are the ones who make a difference. We want to be there for them. Mary’s supports all of these individuals with traditional and creative coffee variations that not only energize, but also bring a touch of magic to their daily lives.
Our belief:
We follow a fundamentally ethical approach. We reject superficial, soulless business cultures where values only apply as long as they don’t interfere with the interests of the owners. With Mary’s, it’s not about establishing another profit-driven coffee house, but about creating real value. Value for our consumers, value for our employees, and above all, value for the community in which we operate. We are convinced that every company has the obligation to act responsibly. At Mary’s, we uphold this belief through:
• The exclusive use of high-quality raw materials,
• A focus on sustainable practices throughout the entire value chain,
• An organizational culture that offers every employee opportunities for individual development,
• Support for projects that benefit our community.
Your responsibilities:
As COO, you will lead the opening of the first locations in Leipzig and Berlin. You will work closely with the founder/CEO and take a leading role in the implementation. After successfully establishing the pilot stores, your task will be the tactical scaling of the concept, ensuring the established standards across multiple locations. Your responsibilities will include:
• Leading all necessary steps for the opening, from selecting suitable locations to recruiting and training the service teams.
• Developing and implementing all operational processes that efficiently deliver the customer promise.
• Ensuring and further developing standards concerning quality, environmental protection, and social responsibility.
• Expanding and optimizing the beverage and food offerings.
Our offer to you:
• Long-term career perspectives and an inspiring work environment that fosters creativity and personal responsibility.
• Maximum creative freedom to implement your ideas and the opportunity to actively shape the future of the company.
• For outstanding commitment, there is the possibility of long-term involvement in the success of the company, including the prospect of equity participation.
What you bring:
• Experience as a Barista, Store Manager, or COO in a relevant field
• Expertise in opening and establishing a coffee house
• Entrepreneurial thinking and a hands-on mentality
• Excellent communication skills and leadership experience
• Unrestricted willingness to travel within Germany
• Excellent German and English language skills
If you feel addressed, share our beliefs, and are looking for more than just a job but want to make an impact, we’d love to hear your motivation to join us. We look forward to meeting you.
