About the role

You'll be second-in-charge of the bar at Marrickville, working alongside our Head Barista to run coffee quality, the team and service. It's a hands-on role. You'll still be on the machine through the rush, but you'll also be the one making sure the coffee is dialled in, the team is supported and the bar runs smoothly when the Head Barista is off. If you're ready to step up from senior barista into leadership, this is the role.

About us

Stitch Coffee started with a simple idea: coffee is a tapestry, woven from origins, farmers, roasters and the people who drink it. We roast our own, source ethically, and work closely with our Head Roaster to keep every cup where it should be.
