EMENA Supply Planner - Beverages & Kahl's (Maternity Cover until Feb 2027)
At Costa Coffee, we are what we craft. We’re reimagining coffee experiences in over 50 countries and counting, as a key part of the Coca-Cola System. Whether you get your coffee in a store, from a machine, at home, or on the go – we’ve got you covered.
As EMENA Supply Planner – Beverages & Kahl’s, you’ll be responsible for leading end-to-end supply planning across Costa’s beverage and Kahl’s product categories throughout the EMENA region. Working closely with suppliers, logistics partners, procurement teams and key business stakeholders, you’ll translate demand forecasts into robust supply plans that optimise product availability, inventory and working capital performance. You'll play a key role in driving supply chain resilience, managing supplier performance, mitigating risks and continuously improving planning processes to ensure exceptional customer service and support Costa’s growth ambitions across the region.
Our teams make a difference. Whether that’s working on new tech for the perfect pour, helping our teams grow, creating award-winning campaigns, crunching the numbers, or developing the latest exciting menu item; together, we stir up success.
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 EMENA Supply Planner – Beverages & KAHL’s, there’s never been a better time to join.
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 pretty brilliant perks to sweeten the deal:
• 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 who find themselves in 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

We’re passionate about being a great place to work, where you can bring your unique self into our mix. We firmly support diversity, equity and inclusion, and continue to work with our teams to shape the future of our culture and values: Disciplined to Deliver, Passion for Progress, Win with Warmth, Courage to Challenge and Trusted Team Players.
What you’ll do:
Being a EMENA Supply Planner – Beverages & KAHL’s 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:
• Own end-to-end supply planning for Costa's Beverage and Kahl's categories across EMENA, ensuring the right products are available at the right time whilst balancing inventory, waste and working capital targets.
• Develop and manage short-, medium- and long-term supply plans, translating demand forecasts into effective replenishment and logistics plans that support business performance and customer service.
• Lead supply planning activities within the S&OP process, providing insights on supply risks, opportunities and constraints to support commercial and operational decision-making.
• Build strong partnerships with suppliers, procurement teams and logistics providers, monitoring supplier performance, resolving operational challenges and driving continuous improvement.
• Identify and mitigate supply chain risks, supporting business continuity, managing obsolescence and product delistings, and maintaining accurate planning data and systems to enable effective decision-making.
Who you are:
It’s your unique ingredients we’re interested in:
• Proven experience in supply chain planning, operations or a similar environment, with a strong understanding of forecasting, inventory management and supply planning principles.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret data, manage complexity and make informed decisions in a fast-paced commercial environment.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build strong relationships and influence effectively across suppliers, logistics partners and cross-functional teams.
• A proactive, customer-focused mindset with strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to prioritise competing demands while delivering results under pressure.
• Strong Excel and systems capability, coupled with a continuous improvement mindset and a passion for driving operational excellence across complex supply chains.
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 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.
