Delivering expertly ground, tapped and extracted coffee, when that caffeine kick is needed most and in places that are convenient to our customers doesn't "just happen". It takes a blend of  innovation, determination and a whole lot of fun to provide intelligent coffee to the world. If you want to be part of the ambitious growth plans for Costa Express then this could be the next career move for you.

Who we are looking for

We're on the hunt for a 'go-getter' to join our highly driven, healthily competitive and hugely passionate sales team. You will need to be mad about coffee and love our brand as much as we do.  With your past experience in face-to-face sales environment (ideally in a FMCG, retail or convenience markets), you will have gained skills enabling you to change your approach to engage with your audience; be it a senior director or a facilities manager you'll pick the right mode of communication to secure a sale. As well as having relentless drive and yearning to learn and develop, you'll also be authentic and honest and always keep the customer at the heart of what you do.

A bit about the role

You'll have the opportunity to be a big part of the jigsaw in building the future of growth of Costa Express.  With the autonomy to own your territory and a positive approach, you will seek out fresh opportunities, as well as follow up on leads of new potential locations for Costa Express machines.  There is also an element of account management to develop sales in existing machine locations. You will need to be proactive, manage your own time and ask the right questions to successfully secure the signature on the dotted line. In this fast paced environment you'll need to be comfortable with change and keep up with the tempo. It's not always easy and there are some high targets to reach so you'll need some real perseverance - but don't worry, when it gets tough you'll have an energetic and supportive team to bounce ideas off. 

So bring us your unique blend, together with ambition and experience and in return we'll give you a competitive salary of £33,743, a very achievable yearly bonus, plenty of benefits and more coffee than you could dream of to enjoy in an innovative environment.
