Being a Finance Manager is about so much more than bringing great coffee to our customers. It’s your chance to fuel smart investment, shape strategic decisions and help drive the growth of one of the UK’s most loved coffee brands, which means you’ll be:

Partner with Property, Construction and Proposition leaders to provide financial insight that supports strategic investment decisions across Costa’s store estate.

Build and evaluate business cases, ensuring refresh and proposition initiatives deliver strong commercial returns and meet financial targets.

Monitor and analyse the performance of capital investment programmes, providing actionable recommendations to maximise value and drive continuous improvement.

Lead financial planning, reporting and governance for significant capital expenditure, ensuring robust control and effective management of investment spend.

Translate complex financial data into clear, compelling insights that influence senior stakeholders and support business growth across the UK & Ireland.

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

A newly qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with up to 1 year post-qualification experience and a strong commercial mindset.

Proven ability to build financial models, analyse complex data and turn insights into clear business recommendations.

Confident communicator with the credibility to influence and challenge senior stakeholders across the business.

Experience supporting multi-site operational, retail or hospitality environments, with a strong understanding of business performance drivers.

Highly organised and detail-oriented, with excellent Excel skills and a passion for delivering high-quality commercial finance support.

Right now, our Support Centre teams work flexibly, blending home working with in-person time whenever it matters most – whether that’s a team moment, a creative session, or simply coming together to share ideas.

We’re excited to be moving into a new home for our brand in St Albans in January 2027 – an inspiring space from which our Support Centre teams will work three days a week to connect and collaborate in-person to bring our bold ambition to life.
