Global Head of Analytics
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.
This is a rare opportunity to shape how a global coffee business uses analytics to make better decisions and create measurable value. As Global Head of Analytics, you will set Costa’s enterprise analytics strategy, advise senior leaders on our most important customer, commercial and operational questions, and build a capability that connects consumer, digital, retail and operational performance across markets.
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.
If you are an experienced analytics leader who combines commercial judgement, clear executive influence and a passion for developing people, this is the moment to make your mark at Costa.
