Finance Manager, Commercial B2B in St Albans

At Costa Coffee, we are reimagining coffee experiences in over 50 countries and counting, as a key part of the Coca-Cola System. As Finance Manager – Commercial B2B, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping financial insight across our “We’re Serving” platform. Acting as a key finance lead within this space, you’ll collaborate with commercial and operational teams across UKI to drive performance, influence decision-making and support the continued growth of our B2B business.

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. And as a Finance Manager, there’s never been a better time to join.

• The Costa Financial Support Fund, supporting team members who find themselves in unexpected financial pressure.
• 50% discount in all Costa-owned stores, and 25% off in other participating stores.
• Private medical cover thanks to our Private Healthcare scheme.

We’re passionate about being a great place to work, where you can bring your unique self into our mix.
