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.

Role Overview

Reporting to the Senior Property Procurement Manager, the Global Procurement Manager - Construction & Store Concepts will play a key part in procuring Main Contractors, Direct Purchase Goods and Consultants for the fit out of New and Existing Stores, both in the UK and Globally.

You will be required to develop and execute procurement strategies for construction, developing a pipeline of procurement activity to deliver value to the business. Core to your role will be sourcing, contracting, and relationship management of contractors, consultants, and suppliers to secure value for stores globally. Partnering with stakeholders across the business to identify opportunities within the category, you will lead competitive tender processes to establish a supply base aligned to Costa’s values. The role plays a critical part in driving commercial value, supply chain resilience, innovation and consistent premium quality across all store projects.

Why 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. 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.

With Retail Like-for-Like & New Store Opening delivery identified as “Big Rocks” in Costa’s strategy, there’s never been a better time to join the Global Property Procurement Team.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
