At Costa Coffee, we are what we craft. We’re reimagining coffee experiences in over 50 countries and counting, as a key part of the Coca-Cola System. Whether you get your coffee in a store, from a machine, at home, or on the go – we’ve got you covered.
As Procurement Executive - Beverages, you'll play a key role in sourcing ingredients and managing supplier relationships that support Costa’s global beverage portfolio. Working across a wide range of stakeholders, you’ll shape sourcing projects, negotiate with suppliers, deliver cost-saving initiatives, and help ensure a sustainable, resilient supply chain. You'll also support the development of procurement performance measures and governance activities, helping drive value, efficiency and continuous improvement across the Beverages Procurement team and where applicable, the Global Procurement function.
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.
We also want to help you grow in your career through amazing experiences, our apprenticeship scheme, and development programmes. At Costa, you can go beyond the day-to-day.
And as a Procurement Executive, there’s never been a better time to join.

• The Costa Financial Support Fund, supporting team members who find themselves in unexpected financial pressure

• Private medical cover thanks to our Private Healthcare scheme
• And that’s not all. Explore even more of our perks here: https://bit.ly/costaperks
We’re passionate about being a great place to work, where you can bring your unique self into our mix. We firmly support diversity, equity and inclusion, and continue to work with our teams to shape the future of our culture and values: Disciplined to Deliver, Passion for Progress, Win with Warmth, Courage to Challenge and Trusted Team Players.

Who you are
It’s your unique ingredients we’re interested in:
• Previous experience in a procurement, sourcing or category management role, with an understanding of procurement processes and supplier management – ideally from a retail or FMCG business
• Strong commercial and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data and identify value opportunities.
• Confident stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to build effective relationships across cross-functional teams and external suppliers.
• Experience supporting projects and negotiations, with the ability to influence outcomes and deliver results in a fast-paced environment.
• Proficient in Excel and Microsoft Office applications, with strong organisational skills and the ability to work independently while balancing multiple priorities.
Where you’ll work:
Right now, our Support Centre teams work flexibly, blending home working with in-person time whenever it matters most – whether that’s a team moment, a creative session, or simply coming together to share ideas.
We’re excited to be moving into a new home for our brand in St Albans in January 2027 – an inspiring space from which our Support Centre teams will work three days a week to connect and collaborate in-person to bring our bold ambition to life.
