Starbucks is hiring a “Captain – Pilot-in-Command” for its company Gulfstream aircraft.

The job listing states that the position offers a salary range of $207,000 to $360,300 annually. Business Insider highlights that, on average, airline pilots earned about $250,000 in 2024.

“As one of the company’s most prominent figures to passengers, the captain acts as an ambassador for Starbucks both domestically and internationally,” the job description explains. “They embody Starbucks’ core values and conduct themselves with professionalism and grace, ensuring the highest levels of service and safety.”

Starbucks reportedly has at least two Gulfstream G550 jets.

Although the role doesn’t explicitly mention assisting the CEO with travel to uphold the company’s return-to-office policy, it’s not unreasonable to assume so. Reports indicate that Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol frequently travels over 1,000 miles several times a week from Newport Beach, California, to the corporate offices in Seattle, Washington.

The pilot role has numerous responsibilities, including managing the flight and crew. Applicants should have a valid Airline Transport Pilot Certificate, a current 1st Class Medical Certificate, an FCC Restricted Radio Operator Certificate, and other FAA-based requirements.

Candidates should also have at least five years of experience operating as a captain with a corporate flight department and at least 5,000 hours of flight time, plus other certificates. See the job listing for the full slate of required items.
