What are the responsibilities and job description for the Production Lead position at Compass Coffee?
About Compass Coffee
Compass Coffee was founded in 2014 by two Marines who, after years of drinking terrible coffee on deployment, became obsessed with the quest for the perfect cup. What began as a desire to unlock the secret to perfect coffee grew into something much more significant. It was the realization that coffee is more than just a drink. It"s a ritual that brings people together, facilitates human connection, and makes your day better. Compass Coffee has since expanded to 16 cafes in and around DC where Real Good Coffee is served and communities are formed. At the heart of it all is a relentless commitment to quality at every step - to ethical sourcing, masterful blending, and peak roasting in small batches - all to create an experience that is much more than just a cup of coffee.
At Compass Coffee we are dedicated to making real good coffee. Nothing fancy, nothing too crazy, just real good. Our mission is to make people"s day better. We are eager to hire a highly competitive, motivated and hardworking individual to help build our world class production team.
A production lead is part of leading a team that produces our products for all of our customers: to our own cafés, our restaurant partners in the DMV and e-commerce customers across the country. Your primary responsibility is to lead shifts that produce quality products, while maintaining clean and safe production areas and equipment.
Production leads work to produce Compass Coffee, Simple Syrups, and Crown Tea. The production team at Compass produces products in large quantities, and a lead is responsible for operating large production lines, as well as managing the team during the production day.
