About the Job

About Compass Coffee

Compass Coffee was founded in 2014 by two Marines who, after years of drinking terrible coffee on deployment, became obsessed with the quest for the perfect cup. What began as a desire to unlock the secret to perfect coffee grew into something much more significant. It was the realization that coffee is more than just a drink. It"s a ritual that brings people together, facilitates human connection, and makes your day better. Compass Coffee has since expanded to 16 cafes in and around DC where Real Good Coffee is served and communities are formed. At the heart of it all is a relentless commitment to quality at every step - to ethical sourcing, masterful blending, and peak roasting in small batches - all to create an experience that is much more than just a cup of coffee.

As a Facilities Manager, you will:

Embody a growth mindset - training is continuous; we are learning every day and you will view challenges as opportunities
Analyze root problems and propose permanent solutions to solve them forever

You"d make a great Facilities Manager if you are:

A strong communicator - you"ll be communicating directly with suppliers, customers and other members of the Compass team on a daily basis, in writing, over video calls and in person
Comfortable with ambiguity - things break! Sometimes the plan for the day will need to be reprioritized but every day you will be responsible for dispatching the team"s service calls
Technically Inclined - You don"t need to know how to fix an ice machine yet, but you"ll need to be capable of learning our equipment and the technical details of our cafes
Highly organized - You are responsible for maintaining an appropriate inventory of spare parts in our workshop
Good writing skills - You will write new training to help standardize and streamline our best practices to resolve issues in the field, or pre-empt them!
