Description

Grind is a coffee company that lives in London.

Since opening Shoreditch Grind in 2011, we've expanded across London with cafés, coffee trucks and a state-of-the-art coffee roastery.

Today, we serve millions of cups of coffee across London and the UK each year, and we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of people make better, more sustainable coffee at home.

You’ll find our coffee beans, compostable coffee pods and ready-to-drink coffee cans - in supermarkets across the UK and in hotels around the world.

Based in Shoreditch, we have a team of talented people working on everything from product development to finance, to customer experience.

We’re looking for someone to join our growing team and help us in building the future of Grind.

We think coffee can be a force for good.

Whether it's through creating the UK's first compostable coffee pods, our plastic-free packaging or carbon-free shipping - we're on a mission to be the world's most sustainable coffee company.

In 2023, we created our charity, the Better Coffee Foundation, to undo the damage done by the global coffee industry - in our first year, we recovered 43 million pods' worth of ocean-bound plastic.

Requirements

We’re looking for a Product Developer to join our growing Product team at Grind.

This is a unique hybrid role, blending creative recipe development with structured NPD project management.

You’ll help bring new products to life across our ready-to-drink range, coffee pods, seasonal launches, collaborations and wider grocery, B2B and D2C ranges.

Reporting into the Head of Product, you’ll support the full innovation process from trend research and concept development through to kitchen trials, supplier briefing, factory scale-up, artwork sign-off and final launch.

You’ll be hands-on with product creation, but also highly organised and commercially minded, making sure products are delivered on time, within margin, and in line with Grind’s quality standards and sustainability values.

You’ll also play a key role in bringing high-profile brand collaborations to life, following in the footsteps of previous partnerships with Baileys, Pokémon, Green Day and Peanuts.
