Technical Product Manager
Starbucks
Runs coffeehouses and licenses its coffee brand
From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company—one that not only celebrated coffee and its rich tradition, but also built meaningful connections. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who are guided by service to others and driven to make an impact at global scale.
We are seeking a Technical Product Manager to bridge business stakeholders and our AI engineering team — translating sourcing and procurement workflows into clear, actionable product specs that an AI team can build against. You are equally comfortable in a stakeholder review, a data schema discussion, and a sprint retro. You bring domain depth in sourcing and procurement, and enough technical fluency to be a credible partner to engineers working on LLM-powered systems.

Starbucks runs coffeehouses around the world that serve espresso drinks, brewed coffee, tea, and food, and it roasts the arabica coffee its stores sell. It grew from a single Seattle shop selling beans into the world's largest coffeehouse chain, and it helped make Italian-style espresso drinks such as lattes an everyday habit in the United States. Customers order at the counter, at drive-throughs, or ahead through the Starbucks app, whose rewards program trades points for free drinks and food. The company earns money from cafés it operates itself and from fees paid by licensed stores in places such as airports and grocery stores. Starbucks was founded in 1971 and is based in Seattle.
