Join Us to Make Life Better.
ROCC Since 2012: has built community while providing a playground for amazing coffee. The vision is the same, but the execution has ranged from operating an artisan roastery, running cafes, training in person and online, and launching startups through coaching and consulting. This is a growth business.
Therefore, applicants must be motivated to grow. We grow personally and professionally with the humble goal of expanding our reach from thousands to millions who likewise seek personal and professional growth, in and through coffee. Current offerings can be found through or We need an Executive Assistant to help our leader 10x our opportunities and outlook.
ROCC Today: Currently, we offer certified SCA coffee training both on- and offline. We are a market-leader in the SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) training market. Our training is rooted and somewhat timeless - not flashy - not trendy. We use traditional methods such as YouTube, LinkedIn our Website (Squarespace) and top search results from blog posts and product sales to drive traffic. Just search "SCA training" or "custom cupping spoons" and you'll see our organic success.
We treat coffee business professional, but realize for many it's just a product or a hobby. We want to serve our clients and customers to build sustainable businesses, and need to stay out front to lead and serve. We respect coffee tradition and understand from global travel and origin partners that much of the traditional and producing coffee world has been left behind by the "specialty" trends. We serve a broad market and look for people who can see the bigger (sustainable) picture of global coffee production, training, roasting, relationships and business development.
We are not afraid of (in fact we embrace) big brands like Starbucks or LaVazza. We understand commercial grade coffee and Robusta just as much as the newest co-ferment or anaerobic processed single origin. We serve small coffee shops who have never cupped coffees in their life and we have the honor of working with some of the most famous brands in the world. The reputation was hard won through generosity, community building and boundary pushing growth.
WARNING! If you just want to enjoy coffee or play with the newest origins and equipment, this may not be the position for you. If you want to work at a coffee shop and learn latte art - go for it, somewhere else : ) This role might feel like you've enrolled in an MBA program, but you can't find your professor and you don't have a text book. Really! If you need to be told what to do at all times to feel secure and productive in your work, this position will be a challenge. We work with technical business documents, build websites and sell products. We launch videos and ensure they link properly with great descriptions and rich content that keeps search engines happy. We are constantly selling and pushing both information with products or courses. Not pushy, but always making available. You must be attentive to details and exactitude as a representative of our leader and training team.
By the way, this business is not political. We will not join in political hot-topics or causes for either left or right leaning parties. The only cause is to grow, so that we can help more people grow personally and professionally. If you need your work to be tied with your political posturing, then this is not a good place to work. Thank you.
