Now Brewing – manager of digital merchandising! #ToBeAPartner
From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.
As part of Starbucks’ Global Digital Commerce organization, the manager of digital merchandising will lead how products, categories, content, recommendations and offers are organized, surfaced and optimized across Starbucks’ customer-facing digital ecosystem. This leader will help increase customer relevance, product discovery, conversion, average ticket, units per transaction and attachment by ensuring the right products and experiences show up for customers at the right moments across mobile app, web, Starbucks Shop, drive-thru order screens, digital menu boards and emerging digital experiences.
