Coffee Training Professional

COFFEE TRAINING PROFESSIONAL | ARLINGTON, TEXAS | Full Time | On-Site

TURN YOUR COFFEE EXPERIENCE INTO SOMETHING BIGGER

You have a foundation in specialty coffee. You’re smart, dependable, and driven. But maybe you feel like you’ve hit a ceiling. If you’re looking for a role with more purpose, more structure, and room to grow, this could be the opportunity you’ve been working toward.

At Texas Coffee School, we help people across the country build thriving, independent coffee businesses. As part of our training team, you won’t just teach coffee skills. You’ll guide students from idea to launch and see their success unfold in the real world. Few roles offer that kind of visibility into the impact of your work. There’s nothing quite like watching someone open their own shop knowing you helped make it happen.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

For more than 16 years, Texas Coffee School has helped entrepreneurs across the U.S. open and grow profitable, independent coffee businesses. Our Coffeepreneur® training program gives aspiring owners proven systems, confidence, and practical tools to build sustainable operations.

Today, our alumni run hundreds of successful coffee shops and mobile ventures. They create jobs, strengthen local economies, and help shape the future of specialty coffee.

As a Coffee Training Professional, your work directly contributes to those outcomes. You are not removed from the result. You are part of it.

THE ROLE

This role teaches Texas Coffee School’s hands-on coffee training and business curriculum to aspiring coffee shop owners and their teams.

As part of our team of trainers you will lead adult learners through barista skills, operational systems, and business fundamentals using professional equipment in a classroom environment. You will also support day-to-day operations, student experience, and occasional consulting or curriculum projects.

TRAINING AND GROWTH

You do not need to be a coffee business expert on day one.

Our internal training program is structured, intensive, and designed to develop the right person quickly. You will receive consistent coaching, feedback, and hands-on practice.
