We’re on the hunt for a Head Barista who lives and breathes coffee.
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.
As a proud B Corp-certified company, we’re committed to using business as a force for good—prioritising sustainability, transparency, and community impact across everything we do.
We’re leaders in our field, and that’s down to the people we hire. The Veneziano type is naturally curious, passionate about their craft, and always looking for ways to grow and improve.
What we’re looking for:
We’re after a Head Barista who’s not just great on the tools but truly passionate about leading a team, delivering a consistently exceptional coffee experience, and sharing knowledge along the way. You’ll be the go-to for coffee quality in our flagship café, mentoring and inspiring others while keeping things calm, consistent, and customer-focused.
This isn’t just about pouring a great flat white (though, of course, that’s important). It’s about taking pride in your craft, elevating those around you, and helping drive our café experience forward.
You’ll love this role if you:
•Are a hands-on leader who builds trust and lifts others up

•Thrive in a fast-paced café environment, without losing sight of the little things
•Are always curious about new gear, coffee origins, and techniques
•Understand the balance between quality, speed, and service
•Want to be part of a company that supports ethical sourcing and local communities
What you’ll be doing:
•Setting and maintaining high coffee standards across the bar
•Coaching and supporting baristas to continuously improve
•Dialling in espresso and troubleshooting equipment
•Working closely with our training and roasting teams
•Ensuring smooth day-to-day café operations alongside the Venue Manager
What’s in it for you:
•A chance to lead in one of Australia’s most respected specialty coffee brands
•Ongoing professional development, cuppings, and sensory training
•Access to industry events, new release coffees, and equipment
•A workplace that values innovation, sustainability, and genuine connection
•Great benefits such as free coffee & volunteer time off
We don’t just want someone who can make coffee. We want someone who wants to make a difference—with every pour, every conversation, and every shift.
We’re an equal opportunity employer and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life. Everyone is welcome.
