Additional Information
WHY WORK AT JOE & THE JUICE
JOE & THE JUICE is a people centric food and beverage company built around culture, not just juice, sandwiches, coffee, and much more. When joining us, you step into a high energy community where the music is loud, the bar is your stage, and your personality matters as much as your skills.
We believe in four simple virtues that shape everything we do:
Positive Attitude
Inclusion
Social Ties
Growth
For us, this means that when you choose a cup half-full mindset and welcome people form every background, build real friendships across the bar by creating great guest experiences, and use every shift as a chance to learn something new, you become more than just a juicer; like us, you continue to search and mind purpose and meaning in what you do.
From your first day, you'll be part of an international network of juicers who support each other, celebrate wins together, and push each other to grow. You will learn by doing, move through a clear Moneyball career path, and be part of a company where most leaders have earned their stripes behind the bar (fun fact: over 75% of our employees started as Juicers!).
If you love fast paced service, music, people, and the idea of turning a job into a lifestyle, JOE can become a place to build skills, friendships, and a career that can take you across cities, countries, and roles.
The Store Design Associate is responsible for delivering all store design projects across the US market, ensuring alignment with Joe & The Juice concept standards, timelines, and operational requirements.
As the sole Store Design representative in the US, this role carries full ownership of concept application, design development, and execution follow-up. You will act as the key link between Global Design and regional stakeholders, ensuring that every store is delivered with consistency, quality, and speed.
Working within the Store Design operating model, you will collaborate closely with internal teams and external partners, while also activating and managing a strong network of concept designers and design partners to support project delivery.
You will be part of the Global Store Design team , working as our US-based representative while staying closely connected to the Copenhagen HQ through regular creative check-ins, project reviews, and team interactions. Despite being regionally based, you are fully integrated into the global design culture and ways of working.
