The $111 billion coffee chain unveiled the job posting late last month, hoping to lock in two “coffee-obsessed” creators for the next year. Interested applicants should shoot their shot soon—the posting is set to expire on June 13, and is sure to attract a strong pool of talent vying for the gig.
Annual pay ranges anywhere from between $80,100 and $136,000, and the role is eligible for a bonus. Since the global coffee creators will be jet-setting to 10 to 15 Starbucks locations across the world—paid for by the coffee giant—it’s a chance to explore creatively on a comfy budget. There are a few qualifications needed to get the job, but a huge part of it is bringing the vibes.
“Your mission? Help us show the world why Starbucks coffee hits different,” the posting reads. “If storytelling, travel, and coffee fuel your soul, this is your dream gig.”
Becoming a Starbucks global coffee creator doesn’t require a master’s degree or a huge social media following.
The coffee business has a few general requirements for the job. Applicants must be 18 years or older with a high school diploma or equivalent experience—no work experience or college degree required. They also must be U.S. residents with a valid passport for the duration of the gig: August 2025 to July 2026.
The strongest candidates will also have a bit of physical strength. Traveling internationally will require a lot of legwork—whether that be getting their steps in while in Milan, or navigating the lush landscape of Costa Rica. Candidates need to be able to bend, lift, and carry their content equipment while they’re on the road for the next year. They also need to understand TikTok trends and adapt accordingly.
The job posting notes that there are a few pluses that will stand out in applications: talent with strong interpersonal and cross-cultural skills, who can work independently and create their own schedules.
