    WHY WORK AT JOE & THE JUICE JOE & THE JUICE is a people-centric food and beverage company built around culture, not just juice, sandwiches, coffee, and much more. When joining us, you step into a high-energy community where the music is loud, the bar is your stage, and your personality matters as much as your skills. We believe in four simple virtues that shape everything we do: • Positive Attitude, • Inclusion, • Social Ties, • Growth For us, this means that when you choose a cup-half-full mindset, welcome people from every background, build real friendships across the bar by creating great guest experiences, and use every shift as a chance to learn something new — you become more than just a Juicer; like us, you continue to search and find purpose and meaning in what you do. From your first day, you'll be part of an international network of Juicers who support each other, celebrate wins together, and push each other to grow. You will learn by doing, move through a clear Moneyball career path, and be part of a company where most leaders have earned their stripes behind the bar (fun fact: over 75% of our employees started as Juicers!). If you love fast-paced service, music, people, and the idea of turning a job into a lifestyle, JOE can become a place to build skills, friendships, and a career that can take you across cities, countries, and roles.

Product Improvement & Category Strategy • Partner with Culinary/R&D to identify product improvement opportunities that enhance quality, consistency, or margin., • Lead specification management — ensuring specs are accurate, value-engineered, and aligned to cost targets without compromising guest experience., • Develop category strategies (e.g. proteins, produce, dairy, beverage, packaging) and own the buying plan for each. LTO & New Product Management • Manage the procurement side of Limited Time Offers end-to-end, working closely with the Procurement Manager and cross-functional teams., • Secure supply, pricing, and volume forecasts for LTOs and new launches; ensure availability for launch and clean exit at wind-down to avoid stranded stock., • Cost LTOs ahead of launch and feed margin guidance into go/no-go and pricing decisions.
