Princi Kitchen Lead - Baker

Now Baking - Baker Lead, Princi Kitchen
From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that celebrates coffee, its rich tradition, and a feeling of connection. Continuing our quest in 2016, we announced a partnership with Princi, a renowned boutique bakery and café founded by Rocco Princi in 1986. Known for its artisan breads created from traditional family recipes, Princi has become a beloved culinary experience.
Our kitchen team will continue to bring to life the Princi brand by creating handcrafted foods such as pastries, cakes, fresh soups, salads and focaccia-style pizza as well as artisanal baked breads.
The Princi Kitchen Baker Lead role helps to create and refine how we bring Princi to life in our stores. The candidate for this role must have an unwavering focus on baking production and quality.
