About the role

Starbucks is seeking a government affairs advisor to shape and execute strategy for the West region, with a focus on California. You will build relationships with policymakers, provide policy analysis, and advise across internal teams on regulatory actions to protect and grow the brand. Based in Sacramento, you will travel regionally up to 40% and lead engagement with state and local officials, coordinating with federal and global teams to drive policy priorities forward.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
