Junior Coffee Trader (m/w/d)

About ALRIGHTY

ALRIGHTY is a coffee company built on the belief that exceptional coffee can also be more responsible. With more than 30 years of experience in the coffee trade, the team is focused on improving the industry one cup at a time through high-quality coffee that is not only fair, but also Caretrade.

The company was founded with the idea that things can be done better: better quality, better conditions for farmers, and greater transparency throughout the supply chain. Today, ALRIGHTY operates its own roastery and coffee shops in Munich, has an engaged community, and counts Jane Goodall among its patrons.
