Learning Specialist - Starbucks

Job description / Role

Learning Specialist - Starbucks - Dammam, KSA EP

From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrates coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brings a feeling of connection. Starbucks coffee houses have become a beacon for coffee lovers everywhere because they know they can count on genuine service, an inviting atmosphere and a superb cup of expertly roasted and richly brewed coffee every time.

It's not unusual to see people coming to Starbucks to chat, meet up or even work. Starbucks is a neighborhood gathering place, a part of the daily routine - and we couldn't be happier about it. Get to know us and you'll see: we are so much more than what we brew. Starbucks prides itself on its people, or 'partners' as we call them. We strive to develop each partner to achieve their career goals, whether this is to become a district manager, Coffee Master or work within one of our Head Office functions.

As a Learning Specialist for Starbucks, you will provide a professional standard of mentorship, delivering classroom and ""on the job"" training for our team.

This is a key role with responsibility for setting training direction across multiple career levels, initiating training programs and tailoring them to the needs of your specific location, and working with the HR and the operations team to support learning and development initiatives.

Requirements

* Minimum 3 years' experience in a mentoring or training role
* Food Safety accreditation
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
* Self-motivation and the ability to motivate others.
