District Manager

District Manager – Houston, TX 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, and growth. For us, this means that when you choose a cup‑half‑full mindset, welcome people from 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 find 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. What You’ll Do Lead a team of up to 8–10 Store Managers to deliver outstanding guest experiences and hit growth targets across your district. Ensure every store upholds the Joe & the Juice brand — the energy, the standards, and the guest‑first culture that keeps people coming back. Translate company strategy into day‑to‑day execution through consistent coaching, honest feedback, and hands‑on leadership. Own the P&L for your district — overseeing planning, performance analysis, and cost management to hit sales and EBITDA targets. Build the next generation of JOE leaders by developing internal talent and attracting high‑potential candidates from outside the company. Execute new company programs and initiatives in the field with energy and accountability. Partner with fellow District Managers to drive consistency, share learnings, and raise the bar across markets. Maintain safe, healthy, and compliant store environments across all locations. What You Bring Minimum 5‑8 years of multi‑unit leadership experience in food & beverage — this is a requirement. A hands‑on leadership style — you lead by example, not from behind a desk. Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to motivate and hold teams accountable. Sharp analytical skills to read the numbers, spot trends, and make smart operational decisions. A proven track record of improving performance across multiple locations. A genuine connection to our virtues — you believe in positivity, inclusion, building relationships, and growing people. Why JOE Over 75% of our leaders started behind the bar — so when we say we invest in people, we mean it. You'll join a global community of Juicers who push each other to grow, with access to leadership development programs, travel and exchange opportunities, and a career path that can take you across cities, countries, and roles.
