Do you dream of travelling around the world with a coffee in hand? Then, you’ll surely love to travel with Starbucks!
Starting today (May 28), Starbucks is on the hunt for two Global Coffee Creators! The brand is looking for talented content creators, with one currently a Starbucks partner (employee) and another as an external candidate who is passionate about the brand’s coffee, culture, and community.
The job of the chosen content creators is to capture their journey to 10-15 unique Starbucks locations around the world on social media. Some of these unique places are the Starbucks Hacienda Alsacia, a coffee farm in Costa Rica. There’s also the Starbucks Reserve Milano in Italy and the Tokyo Reserve Roastery in Japan.
These creators will show the care and craft that goes into every Starbucks coffee cup and the diverse experiences in communities that help shape them. This once-in-a-lifetime job is a paid full-time role for 12 months. All travel costs will be covered, and support will be provided by Delta Air Lines and Marriott Bonvoy.

- After you must complete an application form found on the Starbucks Career website.
Note that you can post your video between May 28 and June 13, 2025, to be considered for the role.

From The Club
Flying to tell stories? That seems like a job that I would’ve loved! This was a great idea that Starbucks came up with to further promote their brand. Although I hate being on camera, it’s the travelling, exploring, and telling stories is what I like doing. I would’ve enjoyed them while sipping an Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso with Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop!
