This opportunity was sent our way by subscriber Jessica Yinka Thomas, who is President of B Academics (the global B Corp Academic Community) and Director of the NC State Business Sustainability Collaborative. Jessica was excited by it and I am too after taking a close look. Txu, Jessica! :)
Counter Culture Coffee is an innovating roaster in the US coffee industry, and its team of passionate, coffee-driven people are scouting a hands-on CFO who genuinely cares about people and coffee and who can help manage the business and execute the company's strategic plans. You have advanced business training and 8-10 years of experience in financial management.
What I love:
CCC has staying power. It celebrated 25 years of creating extraordinary coffee experiences in 2020.
CCC sees itself as an agent of change. When the company describes itself, 3 of the 4 words used are education, sustainability and transparency, and these words are backed by action - CCC is a Certified B Corp.
CCC is a founding member of the Coalition for Coffee Communities—an organization established to help address food security issues in coffee communities.
CCC helps its employees think and act like owners by implementing open-book management (aka The Great Game of Business), a new approach to business that involves opening the company’s books to the entire org, equipping employees with the ability to understand them, and giving employees a stake in the business.
AND you get a free bag of coffee every week (as part of what looks to be a generous benefits package)!
