Now Brewing – grants administration lead – The Starbucks Foundation! #tobeapartner
From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only

As a lead for grants administration on The Starbucks Foundation team within the Global Coffee, Social Impact & Sustainability function, you will support key business functions that enable the Foundation to execute its mission and make progress towards established 2030 goals. You will work with a team of partners and cross-functionally to develop workplans, drive operational coordination and ensure that the Foundation grants are executed according to requirements and best practices. In addition, you help ensure philanthropic giving excellence through administrative compliance, financial stewardship and governance, and timely reporting.
As a grants administration lead, you will:
- Foundation administration: Lead implementation of key Foundation business functions, including accounting, governance, and documentation. Liaise with cross-functional teams to maintain, execute, and revise standard operating procedures, including with accounting, tax and legal functions, and coordinate with external vendors on compliance requirements (e.g., annual charitable registrations). Support Executive Director with board governance, as needed.
- Grants administration: Coordinate, implement, and maintain a range of projects and activities in support of the life cycle of grants and donations, alongside portfolio managers. Provide guidance on overall grant flow process and technical assistance on specific grant guidelines as needed, while administering select key components of grant cycles (e.g., payment oversight). Support grant implementation in coordination with team members as needed for 2-3 large grant cycles during the year (e.g., Neighborhood Grants, Global Community Impact Grants).
- Financial management and reporting: Provide budget oversight, analysis and reporting to ensure Foundation grantmaking meets established strategic goals. Support with data collection and reporting that demonstrate the impact of the Foundation.
- Project management and support: Develop plans to meet established goals for projects, prioritizing workstreams according to timelines and key deadlines, and facilitating collaboration with cross-functional teams.
