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.

With outlet expansion and agile network planning at the heart of Costa’s growth strategy, this role plays a vital part in enabling smart, data‑led decision‑making. This role supports that ambition by equipping our Growth teams with high‑quality location insight
, data analysis and modelling outputs. You’ll play a key part in shaping strategic decisions through robust datasets, forecasting tools and GIS‑driven intelligence.

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 Location Strategy Analyst 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:

• Manage key datasets. Keep our network, competitor and GIS data accurate, updated and ready for decision‑making.
• Unlock insight. Turn complex data into clear, actionable insight that supports growth and location decisions.
• Support strategy. Provide data‑driven inputs that shape new propositions, market opportunities and optimisation plans.
• Engage stakeholders. Work closely with Growth, Property and wider commercial teams to ensure insights land clearly and drive the right decisions.
• Enhance data workflows. Help build smooth, scalable processes and a best‑in‑class data library that supports fast, confident decision‑making.

It’s your unique ingredients we’re interested in:

• GIS and spatial analysis specialist. Strong GIS skills (e.g., QGIS) and a real passion for geographical data, mapping and spatial insight and experience within a similar retail environment.
• Degree in Geography, GIS, Economics, Data Science, Maths or similar, with enthusiasm for spatial analytics (postgraduate GIS experience a bonus).
• Technically capable analyst. Confident using SQL, Python, Tableau/PowerBI and cloud platforms, with curiosity to explore data creatively and rigorously.
• Strong data handling and workflow skills. Able to manage datasets, maintain data quality, and support smooth analytical workflows across tools and platforms.
• Clear and confident communicator and collaborator.

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. We work in a hybrid environment, giving us the flexibility to balance life while still spending meaningful time together and building strong connections:

• Own a piece of Costa’s success by becoming a share owner in Coca‑Cola with our Share Investment Plan (SIP)
• An annual discretionary bonus scheme, based on business results and individual contribution.
• A smart pension that saves you money on tax and national insurance, and matches your contributions up to 10%
