sweetgreen is a destination for simple, seasonal, healthy food. We’re building healthier communities by connecting people to real food with great service and genuine human connection. We make our food from scratch every day. Using produce delivered that morning, grown by small + midsize farmers who think sustainably (just like us!).

What you’ll do:

If you love running a balanced business, growing a team and creating an excellent guest experience, come work at sweetgreen. We’re looking for enthusiastic and ambitious individuals to lead our locations in Boston.  In the coming months the Greater Boston Area will open 5 more sweetgreens, and we need Head Coaches (General Managers) and Store Leads (Assistant General Managers / Head Coaches in training) for all of them:

• Dedham (Legacy Place)
• Boston (State Street, Post Office Square, and the Seaport)
• Wellesley

Every day in our stores, we make real food from scratch — you’ll oversee a full-service BOH operation, with a quick-service FOH model. The Head Coach is the anchor of the store — you’re an enthusiastic leader, a quick thinker, a problem-solver, a skilled communicator, and a motivator.

What it’s like here:

We want your time at sweetgreen to be transformative. We pride ourselves on providing a clear career path with opportunities for leadership, personal growth and professional development. There’s a reason we call it a “Head Coach” and not a “General Manager” – we’re inspired by former UCLA Men’s Basketball Coach John Wooden’s approach to leadership: “The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.”

At sweetgreen, we have 6 core values — they embody our culture, spirit and dedication to doing what’s right. They keep us aligned, influence how we lead, and help us make decisions about everything from the food we serve to the impact we have on our people.
