Adelaide, South Australia MYSA Full time $70,000 - $80,000 per year

Position Title: Lead Barista / Coffee Cart Manager

Salary: $70,000-$80,000 + salary packaging dependent on experience

Reports to: Owner / Operations Manager


About Global Grinds

We're Adelaide's newest coffee cart, but not the kind that just slings flat whites and hopes for the best. At Global Grinds, every cup is an adventure. We source rare, hard-to-get beans from all over the world — so forget your stock-standard supermarket blend, we're talking passport-worthy pours.

Even better, we're a social enterprise. That means 100% of profits go to MYSA (Multicultural Youth South Australia), helping refugee and migrant youth. Translation: every latte you make actually changes lives. Try saying that about your last workplace.


The Role

As our Lead Barista & Coffee Cart Manager, you're the captain of this caffeinated ship. You'll set the tone, train up junior baristas, manage stock (because running out of milk = actual chaos), and keep the cart humming like a well-tuned La Marzocco. Most importantly, you'll bring the fun — because coffee should be serious in taste, but never too serious in vibe.

And yes, we're smack-bang in the heart of Hindley Street, Adelaide CBD — so your audience will range from early-bird office types to bleary-eyed uni students who need caffeine now.


What You'll Do
  • Pull legendary shots – from espresso to filter, you'll brew beans so good they deserve their own travel documentary.
  • Tell the stories – guide customers through flavour notes, origins, and our social mission without sounding like a coffee snob.
  • Train the rookies – turn fresh baristas into coffee legends (latte art hearts optional, swans encouraged).
  • Be the stock boss – order and manage beans, milks, and chocolate powder like the bean wizard you are.
  • Keep standards high – hygiene, quality, cart vibes, and latte art all on point.
  • Charm the people – chat with customers, turn strangers into regulars, and make them smile before their caffeine hits.
  • Fix stuff fast – whether it's a grumpy grinder, a morning rush, or a soy milk explosion, you'll handle it.

Who You Are
  • A barista with 2+ years' experience (your tamp is strong, your crema is stronger).
  • Obsessed with specialty coffee and excited to nerd out about origins.
  • A leader who can coach juniors without terrifying them.
  • Organised, reliable, and just a little bit bossy in the best way.
  • Friendly and approachable — you enjoy talking to people (even pre-coffee).
  • Keen to work somewhere that's meaningful, fun, and a little quirky.

Perks & Benefits
  • $70K-80K salary + salary packaging – more money in your pocket, more beans in your cup.
  • Onsite parking – because circling the block for 20 minutes is not a vibe.
  • Free gym membership – balance out all those free coffees (or don't, we won't judge).
  • Work with legends – including our pâtisserie chef (free pastry testing, anyone?) and a multidisciplinary dream team.
  • Career growth – shape Adelaide's newest coffee venture from the ground up.
  • Unlimited coffee – global beans, local buzz.

Why Join Global Grinds?

Because life's too short for boring jobs and bad coffee. You'll get to work with rare beans, lead an awesome team, and know that every flat white you pour is helping refugee and migrant youth through MYSA.


If you can whip up a killer coffee, keep a team inspired, and laugh when oat milk inevitably explodes everywhere — apply now and join Global Grinds on Hindley Street.
