Job Description

Who We Are : 7 Leaves Café is more than a coffee and tea shop. We are a mission-driven specialty beverage brand and a gathering place built on connection, culture, and craft. Since opening our first store in 2011, a small dream shared by siblings and friends has grown into over 40 locations across California, Nevada, and Arizona, with more than 1,200 team members. Our mission is simple : enrich the human experience through thoughtfully crafted beverages, a welcoming environment, and a people first culture.

Guided by servant leadership and community impact, we cultivate leaders at every level and foster a workplace where team members thrive, make an impact, and deliver WOW every day. Position Summary : The Senior Human Resources Manager is a strategic, hands-on People leader responsible for overseeing all HR operations and directly leading the Human Resources and Training teams.

This role is ideal for an experienced HR leader who thrives in a fast-paced, scaling environment and can balance day-to-day execution with long-term organizational strategy. The Senior HR Manager serves as a trusted advisor to Operations, guiding leaders, strengthening systems, and ensuring our People practices reflect 7 Leaves' values and commitment to servant leadership.
