Commercial Growth & Ops Support (Part-Time / Contractor, 2-3 Days per Week) in Greater London

Job description

Location: Hybrid/London Office TBC

Contract Type: Part-Time Contractor (Possibly Full-time)

Compensation: Competitive, pro rata

Help us sharpen our commercial edge, boost margins, and run a tighter ship across Amazon, DTC, Retail, and beyond — all while sipping very good coffee.

Presto Coffee is looking for a commercially minded operator to join our team on a part-time basis to help drive margin improvement, product efficiency, and commercial clarity across the business. You’ll be a trusted right hand to the founder and leadership team, with direct access to performance data across Amazon, our Website (DTC), Wholesale, Food Service, and Retail channels.

This is a high-impact role with a real opportunity to shape how we work, what we prioritise, and how profitable we are as we enter a major phase of scale-up.

Presto is entering a major new chapter.

Our mission? To champion instant coffee as a modern, high-quality, and sustainable category that’s growing fast. With instant coffee consumption up 7.8% year-on-year, we’re building a brand that meets the moment: sustainable packaging, bold flavour, and retail-ready innovation designed to unlock category growth and bring new shoppers into the fixture.

• Deep-dive into margin performance across all channels
• Develop and execute a roadmap to drive commercial improvement
• Introduce clear reporting tools for better product-level decision-making
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to improve cost tracking, forecasting, and reporting discipline
• Shape pricing, bundling, promotional, and cost strategies
• Drive conversations around operational efficiency, cross-channel profitability, and process improvement
• Optional: if you have supply chain experience, you’ll support efforts to improve stock flow, reduce waste, and tighten up processes — potentially expanding this into a full-time Commercial & Ops role

• Background in commercial finance, FP&A, strategy, or operations
• Analytical thinker with a love of data and a sharp commercial instinct
• Skilled in spreadsheet modelling and data interpretation
• Experience working within ecommerce, FMCG, or retail brands is a major plus
• Bonus points for experience in supply chain or logistics
• Self-starter who thrives in a high-growth, ever-evolving environment

Presto Coffee is a fast-growing UK coffee brand with a clear mission: to modernise the instant coffee category and make it better for people and the planet. We’re known for bold flavours, innovative formats, and sustainable thinking — including our first-of-its-kind recyclable cardboard instant coffee tube.

We’re currently stocked in Ocado and Booths, with national rollouts coming soon. More major listings are confirmed for next year — both in the UK and abroad.

With the instant coffee market showing strong momentum and no sign of slowing, we’re building the brand to lead it.

• Be part of a brand entering a critical phase of national growth
• High-autonomy role with flexibility (remote-first, 2–3 days a week)
• Work directly with the founder and leadership team
• Make a meaningful commercial impact on a business that’s scaling fast
• Potential to expand into a broader full-time Commercial & Ops role
• And yes, great coffee on tap

Please send us your CV and a brief message explaining why this opportunity seems like a good fit for you. If you’ve delivered margin improvements, streamlined processes, or shaped commercial strategy before, we’d love to hear about it.
