Director of People (Human Resources)

When childhood friends Holly and Shawn stepped away from their corporate careers and started Rook Coffee in 2010, they wanted to make people feel special. Since the beginning, in a 300-square-foot shack, Rook has focused on offering specialty coffees that inspire genuine, human connections.  

Rook Coffee is currently seeking energetic and hard-working individuals to continue to make those connections. If you’re nice, likable, approachable, a team player, proactive, patient, sociable, positive, reliable, and honest, we’d love to hear from you.

The Director of People at Rook Coffee is a hands-on, strategic, and highly visible leadership role responsible for owning every aspect of the human resources function across our eleven retail locations and growing production operation. Reporting directly to ownership, this role serves as the connective tissue between our corporate leadership team and our hourly workforce. You will build and maintain the systems, culture, and practices that support approximately 200 team members and reflect our founding commitment to making people feel special.

If you are genuinely curious about what drives people, naturally approachable, proactive by default, and invested in building something that lasts, you will fit right in here.
