AFH Proposition Manager

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

At Costa Coffee, we're on a mission to reimagine coffee experiences across the globe. From bustling cities to local communities, we're creating meaningful coffee moments, powered by innovation and driven by purpose.

As a proud part of the Coca-Cola system and working hand in hand with our pioneering partners, we're in over 50 countries and counting. Whether it's served in-store, from a machine, at home, or on the go, every cup is thoughtfully crafted by our passionate teams who put heart into every moment.

Our teams truly make a difference. Whether it's pioneering new tech for the perfect pour, launching award-winning campaigns, developing exciting new menu items, or supporting our people to grow - together, we stir up success.

As an AFH Proposition Manager, you'll define, lead, and launch end-to-end coffee propositions that give Costa a competitive edge across EMENA's Away From Home (AFH) channels.

With inspiring experiences, development programmes, and our apprenticeship scheme, your career can grow far beyond the day-to-day.

What you'll do

Being an AFH Proposition Manager is about so much more than bringing our coffee to the world. It's your chance to stir up real success - which means you'll be:

• Defining and owning the vision, strategy, and roadmap for winning AFH propositions across product, marketing, tech, and commercial.
• Leading cross-functional teams to build holistic propositions from concept through to in-market execution.
• Collaborating with market teams to tailor solutions based on regional customer and consumer insights.
• Working closely with finance, legal, and operations to model compelling commercial outcomes and ensure scalability.
• Providing strategic guidance and creating documentation to support successful roll-out, trials, and long-term value creation.

Who you are

It's your unique ingredients we're interested in:

• A strategic thinker with experience in proposition development, commercial planning or programme management in a global or multi-market business.
• A natural influencer who can align senior stakeholders and energise cross-functional teams.
• Commercially savvy with the ability to interrogate assumptions and build robust business cases.
• Experienced in hospitality, retail, wholesale or foodservice-ideally in a product- or innovation-led environment.
• A clear communicator, able to articulate strategy, progress, and issues in a compelling and accessible way.

So, why Costa?

We didn't become a global coffee brand by sitting back. When you work here, you join a community that values passion, progression, and integrity-with some brilliant perks to sweeten the deal. We work in a hybrid environment, giving us the flexibility to balance life while still spending meaningful time together and building strong connections:

• Own a piece of Costa's success by becoming a share owner in Coca-Cola with our Share Investment Plan (SIP).
• An annual discretionary bonus scheme, based on business results and individual contribution.
• A smart pension that saves you money on tax and national insurance, and matches your contributions up to 10%.
• The Costa Financial Support Fund, supporting team members facing 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.
