Great People Work Here

We’re looking for people who don’t just come here to get the job done, but who have a real passion for the brand and a desire to do the best job they can. In return, we offer an inspiring package of employee benefits - to show just how much we value you. This role will offer you the scope for growth and the tools to aim high.

Within Twinings, IM is a unique place to work. We are a growing business, going somewhere new together and with more to come in our future than has been in our past. We face big ‘impossible challenges’ every day and we enjoy overcoming them. We accomplish this by leveraging the great diversity of culture and background in our people and breaking down the barriers of narrow thinking. We value curiosity, learning, debate, and challenge. Our people are self-propelled, open-minded, courageous, and natural collaborators.
