Café Manager

Cafè Artigiano at Indigo | Granville & Broadway, Vancouver

Lead Our New Café. Build Your Career.

We’re bringing Artigiano to Indigo at Granville and Broadway, and we’re looking for an exceptional Café Manager to lead our opening team.

Born in Vancouver. Built on craftsmanship. Guided by uncompromising ingredient standards. Artigiano brings together exceptional coffee, real food, and elevated hospitality.

This is an opportunity to build a team, welcome a new community, and shape the café experience from day one.

The Opportunity

This is not a shift management role. This is ownership at the café level. As Café Manager, you are responsible for the full performance of your location people, culture, financial results, guest experience, and brand standards.

You will lead from the front.

You will develop people.

You will drive profitability.

You will protect the brand.

You will lead by example, develop your team, and combine exceptional hospitality with strong business practices. From opening preparations to daily operations, you will create a café where guests feel welcome and employees are proud to work. We are not looking for managers. We are looking for operators. Entrepreneurs. Builders. People who want to run a business inside a business — and grow with it.
