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.

We have a fantastic opportunity join our Customer Service Team, specifically handling complaints and engagements on our social media channels,  for someone with a genuine passion for people and provide a world-class consumer experience to our valued Costa consumers. We are looking for someone with experience or handling customer feedback via social media who has a fantastic can-do attitude.

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.
