We may be a global brand, but we haven’t forgotten our roots. That’s where the Costa Foundation and our fantastic community agenda come in. Whatever your role, you can help us change lives in coffee growing communities and help your local community too.

We also want to help you grow in your career through amazing experiences, our apprenticeship scheme, and development programmes. At Costa, you can go beyond the day‑to‑day.

And as a Customs & Freight Analyst , there’s never been a better time to join.

What you’ll do

Being a Customs & Freight Analyst is about so much more than moving coffee across borders. You’ll play a crucial role in ensuring our global operations run smoothly and compliantly. In this role, you’ll be:

• Managing UK export and EU import customs clearances, ensuring goods pre‑clear and cross borders without delay.
• Preparing, reviewing, and coordinating commercial and customs documentation to maintain accuracy and compliance.
• Scheduling, booking, and monitoring transport flows across the UK, Poland, Germany and the EU, resolving “in‑flight” issues.
• Liaising with brokers, transport partners, and internal teams to ensure consistent, compliant processes and smooth border operations.
• Identifying opportunities to improve customs compliance, documentation accuracy and freight operations.

Who you are

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

• An expert (or developing expert) in customs, freight, or international trade, with experience in a similar environment.
• Detail‑focused with strong analytical ability and confidence working with documentation, data and legal/technical references.
• A clear communicator who builds collaborative relationships with internal teams, brokers and logistics partners.
• Highly organised, methodical and able to work on your own initiative with cognitive and learning agility.
• Someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, operational environment and can react quickly to changing circumstances.

Where you’ll work

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 where our Support Centre teams will work three days a week to collaborate and bring our bold ambition to life.
