Starbucks Corp. said Thursday that John Culver will leave the company in October as it eliminates the chief operating officer role.

The Seattle-based coffee giant said Mr. Culver, who will depart from his role as group president, North America and COO, will leave on Oct. 1, the effective date of the organization restructuring. He will serve in an advisory capacity to Starbucks through Jan. 1, 2023, according to a securities filing.

Mr. Culver will receive $3.75 million in severance as part of his separation agreement, as well as certain stock units, stock option awards and an amount equivalent to the cost of 18 months of ongoing COBRA coverage.

"Given the moment we find ourselves in with our Reinvention underway, this is the right decision as we chart the course and the future path for Starbucks," said Mr. Culver in a letter listed in the securities filing.
