Here at Veneziano Coffee Roasters, we’re a team of coffee professionals obsessed with discovering the next best thing in coffee and sharing it with our customers and coffee lovers alike.
We’re leaders in our field, and that’s down to the people we hire. The Veneziano type is entrepreneurial at heart — inspired, driven, and all working towards a common goal of pushing coffee boundaries.
As a Certified B Corporation, Carbon Neutral business, and a recognised Great Place to Work, we’re proud to be building something that’s good for people and the planet. And right now, we’re on the hunt for a Head Roaster & Production Manager to help lead the charge.
So, what’s the role all about?
This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll take charge of our end-to-end coffee production process — from green bean intake to roasting and packaging.
You’ll be managing the day-to-day operations of our production facility, leading a passionate team, and ensuring our coffee maintains the quality, consistency, and innovation we’re known for.
You’ll also play a key part in our sustainability goals — helping us improve processes, reduce waste, and keep lifting our standards.
A day in the life could include:
* Overseeing roasting and production schedules, ensuring we hit quality and output targets
* Leading, mentoring, and developing a high-performing team who take pride in their craft
* Managing quality control and cupping protocols to ensure consistency in every batch
* Driving our microlot program in collaboration with Procurement, Sales and Marketing
* Championing food safety standards (like SQF) and best practices across the board
* Supporting continuous improvement through Lean thinking and operational excellence
* Partnering with key departments to keep things running smoothly and sustainably
We’d love to hear from you if you:
* Have experience in coffee roasting and managing production teams
* Understand quality control, sensory evaluation, and food safety standards
* Are a natural leader who lifts others up and creates a culture of accountability
* Have experience with operational planning, OEE, and process improvement
* Enjoy solving problems, refining systems, and getting stuck into the details
* Up for the challenge of working in a busy production space
Why join the Veneziano team?
Because we care — about coffee, about people, and about doing things the right way.
As a B Corp, we’re committed to using business as a force for good. We’re Carbon Neutral, constantly looking at how we can reduce our impact. And we’re officially recognised as a Great Place to Work, because creating an inclusive, positive workplace where people feel valued matters to us just as much as the coffee we produce.
