Cobra Coffee: The Largest Starbucks Local Licensed Partner in the UK
Cobra Coffee is the largest Starbucks local licensed partner in the UK, and our ambition is simple: to be Starbucks' best UK franchise partner. We believe we'll achieve that by caring more about the way we do business. That's why we're a people-first organisation, where our values shape every decision we make and where culture is at the heart of everything we do.
Our operating model gives our District Managers the opportunity to truly lead rather than simply oversee. With responsibility for around 10–12 stores, you'll have the time to build meaningful relationships with your Store Managers and teams, understand what makes each location unique and make a genuine difference to both your people and your business. We trust our leaders to lead.
That's why we give our District Managers the autonomy and flexibility to make decisions, coach their teams and drive performance in a way that reflects both our values and the needs of their district. You'll be empowered to take ownership, supported by a leadership team that believes in openness and doing the right thing. Working collaboratively within a growing leadership team, you'll have the opportunity to influence the wider business while helping shape its future.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
If you're looking for a business that will invest in you, provide exposure to senior leaders and give you the opportunity to grow your career, you'll find that here. Finally, if The Winning Mindset, The Promises of Giants and Pig Wrestling mean something to you, then Cobra Coffee could be the perfect place for your next career step as part of our team.
The Role
We're looking for an experienced District Manager with experience in a similar multi-site leadership role, ideally bringing a blend of hospitality and coffee sector experience. Most importantly, you'll share our passion for developing people, creating exceptional customer experiences and leading with authenticity. As this is a hands-on leadership role, you'll need to live within 30 minutes of your nearest store. If you're motivated by purpose, culture and the opportunity to leave a lasting impact, we'd love to hear from you.
