Kua Coffee x Commonfolk - Commonfolk Group


As Operations Lead (Sydney), you are responsible for keeping our current and prospective partners (workplaces and cafes) inspired and caffeinated.

You'll be wearing a Kua tee for three days, and a Commonfolk tee for the rest of the week.

  • Driving a van full of coffee (and waste coffee, for local farmers to compost) to partners across Sydney.
  • Working with our sales team to invite new folks to the party and expand Kua and Commonfolk's impact.
  • Soliciting and sharing customer feedback, while championing Climate Positive Coffee.
Hello there

We hear you might be interested in joining our team. Great news.

You'll be joining a bunch of fun folk whose love for coffee comes second only to the positive impact it can make on the world.

With our roastery based down in Victoria but some of our favourite partners up in Sydney, we're looking for a day-to-day ambassador for the Kua and Commonfolk brands.

This is an exciting opportunity for those who enjoy working with their hands, taking initiative on projects and - most importantly - making people's days.

Sound like you? Read on for the details.

Happy days,

Kua x Commonfolk


Our team signs off with 'happy days' - a simple phrase to remind us of a world and culture we'd like to be a part of.

We're working towards happy days for our stakeholders and those experiencing the mounting injustices of climate change.

About Kua and Commonfolk

Commonfolk is a coffee roaster. We create spaces for people to eat, drink, caffeinate and be merry. Naturally, we are obsessed with coffeebut we also really care about community-building. That's why - late last year - we brought Kua into our family.

Kua is a social enterprise (meaning a business that runs for a primarily social purpose) that supplies Climate Positive Coffee to workplaces across Sydney.


Together, we do things a little differently:

  • All our coffee is ethically sourced with a priority on building relationships with smallholder growers.
  • Waste is minimised via circular or compostable packaging and collection of spent coffee grounds.
  • Carbon emissions are measured, reduced and offset every year, at 200%.
- $1 from every kilogram of coffee sold is re-invested in communities where the coffee is grown.

About the Role


As Operations Lead (Sydney), you are responsible for keeping our current and prospective partners (workplaces and cafes) inspired and caffeinated.

You'll be wearing a Kua tee for three days, and a Commonfolk tee for the rest of the week.

This looks like:

  • Driving a van full of coffee (and waste coffee, for local farmers to compost) to partners across Sydney.
  • Overseeing warehouse operations, including order fulfilment, equipment cleaning and reporting on stock.
  • Working with our sales team to invite new folks to the party and expand Kua and Commonfolk's impact.
  • Soliciting and sharing customer feedback, while championing Climate Positive Coffee.
About You


You'll need a driver's licence and solid driving record, experience as a barista (with an understanding of commercial espresso equipment) and a passion for quality coffee.


Here are few goal-kicking attributes:

  • Your local barista describes you as 'super friendly' to their colleagues (you're chatty and personable).
  • You're a fan of a neatly organised kitchen cutlery draw (you're detailoriented).
  • When weekend plans go offscript, you see it as an adventure (you embrace 'startup life' / selfmanagement).
  • You're known to be a good listener (you can solicit early and open feedback from workplace partners).
Why Us

We are a passionate and values-driven team that recognises the importance of having fun.

As our remote representative, you'll be set up with a vehicle (beach trips permitted) and access to lively co-working space at The Commons.

As you're joining a fast-growing group, there is plenty of room to make this role your own.

We're flexible. If this would suit you better as a four day gig, let's chat.

A Note

We welcome people from all walks of life to respond.

First Nations people, people with disabilities, people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, mature age workers and LGBTI+ folks are all strongly encouraged to apply.

To Apply

Consider these questions as a starting point:

  • What's your coffee order?
  • Tell us more about you
  • Why do you want to work with us?
  • What experience do you have to help you succeed in the role?


If writing isn't your strongest suit, a voice recording or a video addressing these questions is also fine Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis through to February 15, 2023.
