As our Total Reward Manager, you’ll shape and deliver reward solutions that help us attract, motivate and retain brilliant talent across Costa.

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. Through the Costa Foundation and our community programmes, you can help change lives in coffee growing regions and make a positive impact closer to home.

We also want to help you grow in your career through incredible experiences, apprenticeships, and development programmes. At Costa, you can go beyond the day‑to‑day.

• Using data and market insights to inform decisions, manage risk and guide evidence‑based conversations.
• Partnering with People, Finance, Legal and external experts to ensure strong governance and compliance.
• Equipping leaders to make fair, transparent and consistent reward decisions that support performance and culture.

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

• A reward specialist with strong market knowledge and data‑driven insight.
• A credible, confident partner to senior stakeholders and People leaders.
• Skilled at balancing global consistency with local nuance in reward solutions.
• Detail‑focused with strong governance, compliance and risk‑management capability.
• Passionate about clarity, fairness, and delivering an exceptional employee experience.

Right now, our Support Centre teams work flexibly, blending home‑working with in‑person collaboration whenever it matters most, whether that's a team moment, a creative session or coming together to share ideas.

We’re excited to be moving into our new Support Centre home in St Albans in January 2027 — an inspiring space where our teams will connect in‑person three days a week to bring our bold ambition to life.
