At Costa Coffee, we’re on a mission to reimagine coffee experiences across the globe. From bustling cities to local communities, we’re creating meaningful coffee moments, powered by innovation and driven by purpose.

As a proud part of the Coca-Cola system and working hand in hand with our pioneering partners, we’re in over 50 countries and counting. Whether it’s served in-store, from a machine, at home, or on the go, every cup is thoughtfully crafted by our passionate teams who put heart into every moment.

Our teams truly make a difference. Whether it’s pioneering new tech for the perfect pour, launching award‑winning campaigns, developing exciting new menu items, or supporting our people to grow – together, we stir up success.

This is a high‑impact role where your creativity, commercial instinct, and POS expertise will directly shape how millions of customers experience our products. We’re looking for a driven, hands‑on marketer who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and wants to grow within a successful, ambitious business.

We value curiosity, inclusivity, and a problem‑solving mindset. If you thrive in a fast‑paced, global environment and are excited to make a meaningful impact, we encourage you to apply.

With inspiring experiences, development programmes, and our apprenticeship scheme, your career can grow far beyond the day‑to‑day.

Being a Marketing Executive, POS is about so much more than bringing our coffee to the world. It’s your chance to stir up real success – which means you’ll be:

• Deliver POS support across equity, franchise and corporate stores, working closely with the POS Marketing Manager to execute the UK retail marketing plan.
• Create briefs and manage artwork approvals for menu boards, pricing labels, and digital instore content, ensuring campaigns are brought to life with accuracy and impact.
• Review and approve campaign assets to guarantee best‑in‑class execution across print and digital POS, maintaining gold‑standard quality in every site.
• Lead POS implementation by supporting store trials, producing clear POS guides, and ensuring flawless installation through strong agency and store engagement.
• Manage POS budgets by raising purchase orders, tracking spend, and working with the POS Marketing Manager to maintain accurate budget control.

• Proven instore marketing experience within retail or QSR, with a track record of delivering large‑scale POS campaigns.
• Strong creative briefing skills with the ability to write clear, compelling briefs and collaborate effectively with agencies and stakeholders.
• Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy, especially when working to tight deadlines in a fast‑paced, reactive environment.
• Confident communicator with strong interpersonal skills, able to problem‑solve under pressure and present outcomes to senior stakeholders.
• Highly organised and tech‑competent with excellent time management, multitasking ability, strong data‑entry skills and proficiency in Microsoft Excel.

We didn’t become a global coffee brand by sitting back. When you work here, you join a community that values passion, progression, and integrity—with some brilliant perks to sweeten the deal.

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 anew 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.
