What are the responsibilities and job description for the Lead Barista position at SABLE?
The Vision
After 4 years abroad and three years in Paris working under the world-renowned Cédric Grolet, I am bringing the artistry of high-end French pastry to the heart of Gilbert. Sablé isn't just a bakery; it's a startup dedicated to "magic" in every bite. We are looking for a founding team member who is as passionate about craft coffee and digital storytelling as we are about world-class pastry.
The Role
As our Lead Barista, you will be the face of the shop. Because our founder is focused on the oven, you are the coffee expert. You will own the espresso bar, manage the register, and—crucially—help us build our brand online. We are looking for a creative partner to film behind-the-scenes recipe videos and manage our daily social media presence.
What You'll Do
- Coffee Program Lead: Dial in espresso, steam perfect milk, and maintain the highest standards of beverage quality. (Since the founder is a pastry expert, you must be the "pro" behind the machine)
- Customer Experience: Manage the register with a warm, "can-do" attitude, educating guests on our unique French pastries.
- Content Creation: Collaborate daily to film high-quality recipe videos, "day in the life" clips, and aesthetic shots for Instagram/TikTok.
- Startup Growth: As a startup, we all wear many hats. You'll help with light cleaning, organizing, and whatever it takes to make the day a success.
Who You Are
- Experienced: You have 1–2 years of specialty coffee/barista experience. You understand extraction, milk texture, and workflow.
- Digitally Savvy: You have a "good eye" for lighting and framing. You know your way around Reels, TikTok, and social media trends.
- High Standards: You understand the level of excellence required when working with Grolet-style techniques.
- Adaptable: You thrive in a fast-paced, "all hands on deck" startup environment.
Why Sablé?
- Work directly with a world-class pastry chef.
- Be a founding member of a bakery destined to be an Arizona destination.
- Creative freedom to help shape our brand's voice and social media identity.
