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 our Global Talent Marketing Manager, you’ll shape how the world sees Costa Coffee as an employer of choice. You’ll lead the strategy that attracts, engages, and inspires exceptional talent through compelling, authentic storytelling and world‑class brand experiences.

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

• Leading creative, data‑led talent marketing campaigns across multiple markets to strengthen awareness, engagement, and candidate experience.
• Partnering closely with our internal stakeholders to bring our Employee Value Proposition to life through storytelling and digital innovation.
• Owning Costa’s digital recruitment ecosystem — from our careers site to LinkedIn and Glassdoor — ensuring a seamless and on‑brand candidate journey.
• Managing agency partnerships and budgets to deliver measurable ROI and continuous improvement in global employer brand performance.

• A hands‑on marketer who thrives on creativity, curiosity, and collaboration — from campaign concept to content creation.
• Experienced in managing digital channels and social platforms with a keen eye for brand tone, consistency, and impact.
