Starbucks is hiring a project designer to join its team in London.

Welcome to the design studio – where people create great things together, where dreams become visions, where your ideas become reality.

Did you know that Starbucks is also known for creating an idyllic ‘third place’ where customers feel welcome and at home? We are a design-led company and as such the design team is central to everything we do.

Our designers are giving each of our stores a unique and original look, which means you get to bring in your own ideas and visions delivering outstanding interiors whilst taking into account technical and commercial requirements.
