About Pact Coffee
At Pact, we’re obsessed with incredible coffee. We seek out the world’s best coffee growers - farmers whose skill and dedication produce coffees of rare quality. They deserve more than a fair price: they deserve to see their coffee relished... savoured... talked about. Our role is to honour that work - by roasting with precision, making every step effortless for our customers, and holding ourselves to the same uncompromising standards. We want every cup to reflect the care of the grower, the rigour of our team, and the unmistakable pleasure of coffee at its best.
As a proud B Corp, we’re committed to doing business the right way. That means we’re held to account - for how we trade, how we treat people, and how we treat the land we use.
Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, from working closely with growers to working as a team to improve how we bring quality coffee to our customers. If you share our infectious enthusiasm for exceptional coffee and want to make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
The Role
We are looking for a hands-on, commercially minded Head of Finance to lead the day-to-day finance function and support Pact Coffee’s next phase of growth.
Reporting directly to the CFO, the Head of Finance will also have the support of a Management Accountant. Together, we aim to strengthen financial control, improve management information and provide greater commercial insight across the business.
