The opportunity
Help shape what comes next at Starbucks as a Portfolio Manager working on general that reaches real users. The Joplin role is less about the $80,000 - $122,000 and more about what 8 years of People Management lets you own at Starbucks.
Key Responsibilities
- Anticipate the MO compliance wrinkle before it becomes a fire
- Question the brief when the brief doesn't match reality
- Make general tradeoffs visible so Starbucks can weigh them
- Move general decisions forward when consensus stalls
- Monitor work quality and flag issues before they escalate
- Trim Project Management processes that have quietly outlived their purpose
- Surface risks early, loudly, and with a proposed fix attached
- Translate fuzzy stakeholder asks into a crisp Multitasking plan
What You'll Bring
- Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
- Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
- The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
- Strong rapport-building skills and a genuinely positive presence
- Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery
- Proven People Management judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit
- The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
Starbucks makes People Management look simple, which anyone in general knows is the high-energy hardest thing to pull off. Every voice in the MO office gets airtime, especially the ones still finding their volume.
Our Starbucks offer is built to keep you: $80,000 - $122,000, coaching, benefits, and hours that flex around the MO life you want.
