With a bold ambition to become a leading premium coffee brand globally and being part of the Coca Cola family, growing sustainably is a priority. 2025 will be a key year for the Costa brand as we launch into the next phase of our growth strategy whilst fully relaunching and repositioning the brand to consumers globally.
As part of the global brand team, you will play a key role in this transition by defining what we want to communicate about our sustainability strategy under our new brand positioning as well as being the lead point person facing into the Coca Cola system and ensuring Costa meets all the sustainability compliance and regulations required to meet our high standards of accountability.
Our teams make a difference. Whether that’s working on new tech for the perfect pour, helping our teams grow, creating award-winning campaigns, crunching the numbers, or developing the latest exciting menu item; together, we stir up success.
We may be a global brand, but we haven’t forgotten our roots. That’s where the Costa Foundation and our fantastic community agenda come in. Whatever your role, you can help us change lives in coffee growing communities, and help your local community too.
