From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.

You will collaborate with teams across Starbucks to support the existing business and new initiatives, while preparing and reviewing quarterly financial reporting deliverables.

This partner will be responsible for overseeing the accounting activities and analysis needed to support our internal and external financial reporting requirements, including several financial statement footnotes, as well as act as an accounting subject-matter expert, leading occupancy-related projects from the accounting lens and providing business partners with clear and consistent accounting guidance and education.
This role has no direct reports, but a successful partner is comfortable leading partners at various levels on the team, reviewing the work of other partners, and providing informal coaching and feedback.
