Part-time: up to 24 hours per week
Location: office-based and across The Curator’s six locations
Wage: £17,472–£20,592 (based on 24 hours a week)

Closing date for applications: Monday 21st September

We’re looking for someone who enjoys working with people, developing ideas and making things happen.

This is a varied, hands-on role. One day might involve planning a campaign for our coffee, speaking to a new wholesale customer or writing an email. Another could be spent visiting our Caffès, helping to bring an event together or joining the team at a coffee festival.

The Curator is an independent coffee business with six Caffès, our own roastery and an Italian bakery. We roast our coffee over wood, make much of what we serve ourselves and work with a small team of people who care about doing things properly.

You’ll help us bring more of our coffee to more people, while keeping our marketing useful, consistent and recognisably ours. There is plenty to get involved with and room to take ownership of the role as the business grows.

A few of the good things

• Flexible working arrangements across the 24 hours.

• Coffee while you work, with regular cuppings and the chance to try new coffees before they are released.

• Free food while on shift.

• Staff discounts across The Curator.

• Training and opportunities to develop your knowledge and skills.

• Paid attendance at coffee festivals and relevant industry events.

• Staff parties and team get-togethers.

• A friendly team and a working environment that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

• A varied week, with time spent across our different locations.

• Genuine involvement in new coffees, campaigns, collaborations and events.

• The opportunity to shape the role as part of a growing independent business.
  
  
  

The role

You will:

• Plan and maintain the sales and marketing calendar.
• Develop campaigns supporting coffee sales through our Caffès and online shop.
• Review sales information and identify useful opportunities.
• Find and approach suitable new wholesale customers.
• Manage relationships, orders and communication with existing wholesale accounts.
• Plan and publish social-media content.
• Prepare and send customer emails.
• Manage Google and Meta advertising.
• Maintain relevant website content and on-page SEO.
• Keep information for our six locations accurate and current.
• Coordinate product launches, seasonal activity and partnerships.
• Develop ideas for Caffè events, collaborations and festivals.
• Approach and book performers, chefs, producers and partners.
• Coordinate ticketing and event promotion.
• Hand confirmed events over to the person responsible for their operational delivery.
• Monitor activity, expenditure and results.
• Produce a short, useful monthly report.
  
  
  

Working with the team

The role reports to the owners and works alongside Creative Lead, with priorities, budgets and event plans agreed through regular senior-team meetings.

You will work within The Curator’s existing brand direction and coordinate the copy, design, photography and other assets needed to deliver each campaign.

Time will be divided between office-based work and planned visits to our locations.

About you

You will be comfortable moving between sales, planning and practical marketing activity.

You should have:

• Relevant sales and marketing experience.
• Confidence approaching new business customers.
• Experience maintaining customer or client relationships.
• Strong written communication.
• Experience with social media, email and website content.
• Working knowledge of Google and Meta advertising.
• Good organisation and project-management skills.
• Confidence using sales and marketing data.
• The ability to plan independently and manage competing priorities.
• A collaborative and reliable approach.

Experience in coffee, hospitality, food, drink, e-commerce or multi-location retail would be useful but is not essential.

Experience with wholesale sales, CRM systems, ticketed events, photography or short-form video would also be helpful.

We are looking for someone who can work within an established brand, communicate clearly and turn agreed priorities into consistent activity.
