Operations Manager - Netherlands

 

 

 

 

WHY WORK AT JOE & THE JUICE

Joe & The Juice is a people centric food and beverage company built around culture, not just juice, coffee, and healthy sandwiches and bowls. When you join Joe & the Juice, 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 while making juices, and using 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.

JOE & THE JUICE is a fast-growing concept offering freshly made juices, coffee, and sandwiches. Founded in Copenhagen in 2002, we serve products made to order—from explosive fruit juices and sandwiches to comforting coffees and teas. With 450 stores worldwide, we create lively moments in a welcoming and festive atmosphere, and we continue growing by opening new stores across our markets.

We are looking for a passionate Operations Manager ready to make our brand shine in the Dutch market and help us scale up. In this role, you will oversee all field operations in the Netherlands, ensuring operational excellence, strong team performance, and an outstanding customer experience at every touchpoint.
