Culinary Creator Aka Baker (Seasonal)

YOUR DAILY MISSION: Work with our kick ass culinary team to create an exceptional food experience.

WHO ARE WE?
We've been making kick-ass coffee for over 25 years.

We're Canada's #1 selling Whole Bean coffee. All our coffee is Organic and Fairtrade, roasted right in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, smack dab in the middle of nowhere.

And it's not just our coffee that's good. We've been recognized as one of the Best Workplaces in Canada by Great Place to Work since 2015. We work hard and have fun. That's how we roll.

WHO ARE YOU?
You bring the flavour, zest, and fiery passion for all things food and taste. Maybe you are a seasoned (pun intended) professional in the culinary arts, or maybe you are just getting into the scene, but one thing is certain, you love food. More specifically, you love baking. Cookies, cakes, pain au chocolat - you can knead, caramelize, and sift your way through creating a variety of sweet treats. You're not afraid to get creative and try new things, but you're also happy to follow a recipe. For you, baking is much more than just fulfilling orders - it's an art.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?
What's better than a fresh cup of coffee? Having a little somethin' sweet to pair with it, obviously. In this role, you will create an exceptional culinary experience for all our Café guests. This involves making a variety of our staple baked goods, creating new and innovative offerings, and supporting the Kitchen with prep and cleaning tasks as needed. In a nutshell, you bring joy to people the one way you know best - feeding their stomachs.
