About the role
As Coffee Buyer & Logistics Coordinator, you'll lead Origin's green coffee procurement - keeping the right coffee flowing into our warehouse at the right time, and ensuring the numbers behind every shipment are accurate and well managed. You'll combine strong organisational instincts with a sharp eye for detail to support the buying decisions that shape what we roast.
You'll report into the Director of Coffee, responsible for procurement, inventory, and import logistics.
