Pax & Beneficia is a specialty coffee roastery with eight café locations across DFW. We roast clean, terroir-driven, expressive coffees.

The Role

You own the roast program. Production is supported - warehouse staff and a dedicated bagger are in place. Your focus is on the coffee.

Responsibilities

• Roast production on a Diedrich DR-12 (~1,200 lbs/week) and growing
• Weekly/Daily coffee QC — water activity, moisture, density, Agtron
• Weekly QC sessions with area managers, training and aligning the team to roastery

Standards

• Ownership stake in building and implementing the QC pipeline — this is ground-up work
• Release coordination with area managers on coffee availability and timing
• Cross-functional coordination with production, fulfillment, and wholesale/sales teams
• E-commerce SKU copy as needed, in collaboration with the Coffee Director

What We Need

• 3+ years of commercial drum roast production
• Fluency in Cropster
• A cupping practice you use and trust on your own work
• Ability to manage a production calendar independently
• Clear communicator across departments

Compensation

• 2-year salaried contract starting at $58,000/yr, with structured steps at 6 and 12 months tied to defined performance benchmarks.
• Full renegotiation at end of term.
• Beyond base: performance bonuses, Q Grader sponsorship, World of Coffee, and origin travel available.

We'd rather build around the right candidate and create a package that best suits your needs.
