Starbucks Assistant Manager - Coventry

Let's be totally honest. Running a high-volume Starbucks inside a bustling hotel is a different beast. If you want to hide in a back office staring at spreadsheets while the milk boils over, look away now. We need an Assistant Store Manager who leads from the front, understands the commercial numbers, and keeps the team smiling during a massive morning rush. At Village, we partner with Starbucks to create high-energy spaces. We need someone who blends that iconic Starbucks culture with our signature Village warmth. You are the Store Manager's crucial co-pilot, driving serious profitability and people development. The Reality of the Role This is where operational grit meets people development. You will forecast labour, tackle the rota, and analyse data to drive commercial performance. But you will also be right there on the floor, coaching a new barista, handling customer hiccups flawlessly, and ensuring the coffee is perfect. Hospitality is fast-paced, so you will need to be flexible with early starts, evenings, and weekends. What We Need From You

• The Commercial Mind: You read the data, spot revenue opportunities, and manage budgets without dropping the guest experience.
• The Talent Developer: You are obsessed with helping your team grow through realistic goals and genuine support.
• Operational Brilliance: You have solid leadership experience in fast-paced hospitality. You ensure food safety and cash handling are water-tight.
• Unflappable Energy: When the queue is out the door, you do not panic. You deploy your team brilliantly with zero drama.
