The Old Cafe House jobs

Head of Marketing at 200 Degrees Coffee

DO YOU LOVE HOSPITALITY AS MUCH AS YOU DO MARKETING?

We have ambitious plans to continue our growth and evolution, and we need someone with the fundamental skills, energy and drive to work with us to make our dreams a reality.

ABOUT 200 DEGREES

We are 200 Degrees Coffee, speciality coffee roasters, purveyors of unique coffee shops, unashamed coffee geeks and we’re growing fast.

Enjoying quality coffee is not just about taste; it’s also about doing all the other things the right way, and that philosophy guides every aspect of our company. We believe in being an ethical, sustainable business and treating everyone involved in our business with respect.

Our home is Nottingham, a stone’s throw from the Notts football grounds in the old industrial heartland - the birthplace of Robin Hood, Paul Smith, Raleigh bikes, and running water (1831 apparently), if that stuff interests you.

Our first coffee shop opened in central Nottingham in October 2014 and was soon winning plaudits and loyal customers. Buoyed by success we opened a second near Nottingham Station before we spread our wings across the midlands and north. We’ve just opened our 25th, with several more coming soon.

We sell our hand-roasted beans in-store and online with six purpose-built Coffee Schools to help everyone drink better coffee. We also work with a range of hospitality businesses, from independent cafés to high end bars and restaurants, supplying complete coffee packages to workplaces, garden centres and hotels.
