Full Job Description
Café Coach - Hyde Park

In this role, you will act as a trusted mentor and strategist for a team of Café Ambassadors - high-end service specialists who bridge the gap between digital banking and human connection. You aren't just managing a location; you’re building a community by bringing Capital One’s mission to life within a vibrant, welcoming hub.

We provide a comprehensive benefits package designed to fuel your journey. Whether you’re using our education assistance to prepare for your next career move, or taking advantage of our mental and physical health resources to stay at your best, we invest in you as a whole person. Our goal is to ensure that wherever your career takes you - within Capital One or into the wider world - you leave the Cafe stronger than when you started.

  • Paid Time Off

  • Education Assistance

  • Matching 401(k) contribution up to 7.5%

  • Paid Parental Leave

What You’ll Actually Do
  • Cultivate "Every Customer, Every Time": You are obsessed with the guest experience. Because our Cafés are free from traditional sales goals and high-pressure tactics, you will coach your team to measure success by the depth and quality of human connection, ensuring every single interaction is impactful.

  • Lead through Behavioral Coaching: You lead through active presence, creating a supportive, high-energy environment where your leadership style is defined by your ability to include, empower, and inspire your team. Grounded in real-time observation and continuous behavioral feedback, you focus on how your team shows up for our guests rather than traditional numeric quotas. You measure your own success by the confidence, professional growth, and collective excellence of your team.

  • Bring the Capital One Brand to Life: You take pride in our brand and our physical space. You will coach your team to maintain a pristine environment and serve as an authentic advocate for Capital One’s values. Your role does not involve making coffee or leading baristas. We have Food & Beverage partners for that. You will work together to co-steward the space. Our operations are independent of each other, but you ensure the collective vibe and customer experience are flawlessly aligned to our high standards.

  • Lead with an Owner’s Mindset & Drive Continuous Improvement: You approach the Café with a franchise ownership attitude and a forward-thinking mindset that never settles for the status quo. You drive operational excellence, listen to customer feedback with patience, and uncover insights to constantly iterate and elevate the space - ensuring your team meets customer-centric goals and the Café experience is always evolving.

  • Anchor a Well-Managed Operation: You know that a truly exceptional guest experience requires a rock-solid operational foundation. While we’ve replaced the traditional bank feel with a relaxed, welcoming vibe, we never compromise on security, risk management, or compliance. You will flawlessly oversee daily operational routines, safeguard customer privacy, and ensure strict adherence to Capital One’s policies—creating a safe, sound, and seamlessly managed environment so your team can stay focused on building meaningful human connections. 

  • Empower De-escalation & Resourceful Problem-Solving: No two days in the Café look the same, and you build a team with the critical thinking skills to handle the unexpected. You will coach and empower Café Ambassadors to be strong, independent problem solvers who can confidently navigate scenarios they may have never encountered before - whether that’s guiding a customer through a unique situation or smoothing out an unexpected operational wrinkle. Your focus is on building their problem-solving confidence and teaching them how to diffuse tension, while remaining the ultimate safety net, ready to step in for leader interventions when highly complex situations arise.

  • Embrace Digital Innovation & Simplify the Complex: You are digitally savvy and forward-thinking. On the floor, you will coach your team on how to help guests easily navigate our mobile and online banking experiences. Behind the scenes, you bring a sense of curiosity to leveraging emerging technology like AI and GEMS to streamline processes, solve problems, and remove administrative burdens - ensuring your team’s energy remains focused entirely where it matters most: on deeply human-centered activities.

  • Drive Purposeful Community Impact: You understand your local market and know how to bring people together. You will guide your team as they host events and build relationships, ensuring all local engagement aligns seamlessly with Capital One’s established programs and strategic community partnerships for maximum, professional impact.

  • At least 1 year of People Management experience or 2 years Retail Bank Experience
