Operations Intern (Fall 2025)

As an Operations Intern, you will:

• Embody a growth mindset - training is continuous; we are learning every day and you will view challenges as opportunities
• Analyze root problems and propose permanent solutions to solve them forever
• Seek out new training and opportunities for our team to improve our best practices
• Write guides for use by our team behind bar and in Support operations
• Learn about the craft of coffee, sourcing and the product development cycle
• Be challenged to zoom in as well as zoom out. Some projects will be far reaching in scope and complexity, others will be very specific and discrete

You'd make a great Operations Intern if you are:

• A strong communicator - you'll be communicating directly with suppliers, customers and other members of the Compass team on a daily basis, in writing, over video calls and in person
• Comfortable with ambiguity - things break! Sometimes the plan for the day will need to be reprioritized but every day you will learn something new and make a real contribution for our customers
• Interested in learning - there is a lot of opportunity to see many parts of our business and talk with leaders across the company, but you are responsible for asking questions and seeking this out
• Motivated to make real things – from helping install espresso machines or hopping on a food assembly line to working as a barista in one of our cafes, you will actually make products our customers enjoy throughout the summer

Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

• Maintain regular and consistent attendance and punctuality, with or without reasonable accommodation
• Fluency or working proficiency in English
• Ability to work in a fast paced environment with multiple priorities
• Proficient in computer use
