The opportunity

The right Talent Acquisition Specialist will balance long-term strategic thinking with the discipline to execute on near-term priorities. What you're really weighing is $51,000 - $67,000 against 5 years, with business ownership and Starbucks growth tipping the scale.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the relationship with the Talent Acquisition vendor so it stops being a fire drill
  • Cut three steps out of an approval chain nobody loves
  • Flag the assumption in the plan that everything else quietly rests on
  • Apply Compensation and Benefits expertise to model scenarios and inform key decisions
  • Shape the 5-year strategy without turning it into a slide museum
  • Surface the two or three metrics that decide whether a Talent Acquisition Specialist bet paid off

What You'll Bring

  • The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
  • An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent
  • A point of view, held loosely and defended well
  • An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes
  • Roughly 4+ years operating in a similar Talent Acquisition Specialist position
  • Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable

Operating out of Topeka, Starbucks designs the tools that power thousands of businesses in the business sector. Our Topeka team treats every retro like a chance to quietly upgrade how we operate.

This remote role pays $51,000 - $67,000 and includes flexible scheduling plus a structured plan to grow your SPHR Certification expertise.

Currently accepting applications, last confirmed open within the hour.

If a $51,000 - $67,000 role with room to grow sounds right, Starbucks would love to hear from you.
