About Wakuli
We love great coffee. That’s why we’re building an alternative coffee industry that actually works. For both farmers and consumers. How? By working directly with farmer groups around the world. We set up transparent, traceable export lines, roast the beans ourselves and sell the coffee straight to customers. So no unnecessary middlemen or resellers. Those short supply chains make sure farmers always get a good price.You’ll find us in 21 (and counting) bars across the Netherlands, and online through our own platform. For customers, that means freshly roasted specialty coffee that’s easy to access, relatively affordable and just seriously delicious. We are building the new coffee brand of the 21st century with a team of like-minded innovators from all over the world. And we’re looking for you.

We’re looking for a strong, driven Store Manager to help us expand our company culture, create consistency and drive performance in our Groningen Store.

You manage the daily operation, lead the team with clarity, take initiative and are accountable for results. In short: we’d expect you to combine operational excellence with people-first management to ensure we can build strong, adaptable teams that support our brand & values.
