If you’re looking to step out from behind the bar, get to travel for work, and run some sick events for an awesome coffee community, then you’re in the right place. Here's what the role looks like day to day...

• By travelling throughout South London and South East England, you’ll create and maintain meaningful relationships with a range of coffee partners within coffee scene, and the Oatly Barista team.
• Your outstanding knowledge and credibility will let you to build rapport with coffee partners – from the baristas to the owner.
• Establish an Oatly network through visiting coffee houses and roasters, and creating partnerships with key influential accounts.
• Encourage and further the understanding of how sustainability impacts the coffee industry.
• You'll run amazing coffee events promoting community and sustainability. You’ll host these in South London and South East England.
• In the rest of UK and Ireland, you’ll travel to events with the rest of the Oatly Barista team and be flawless in representing the brand (by being yourself!)

• You have good experience within the specialty coffee industry, specifically the scene in South London.
• You’re never far from the coffee bar, understand what’s trending, and can help shape Oatly into that through hosting events, and other activations.
• You're already engaged with our brand, love our products, and feel connected to our mission of encouraging health, sustainability, and transparency.
• You’re a self-starter, with a "get it done" mindset! You're excited to make your mark in a growing brand, you’re comfortable with ambiguity, and you're energised by the process of building something lasting from the ground up.
