Nespresso is a name synonymous with luxury, innovation and sustainability.

Your other key responsibilities will include:

• Completing shop floor observations and providing feedback to the team in line with management support.
• Utilising customer experience and everyday coaching across the team.
• Delivering a high standard of customer service.
• Facilitating team training sessions.

• Monitoring and leading on internal control processes.
• Leading on ad hoc audits.

Your ingredients for success

Other key attributes include:

• A proven track record of delivering exceptional customer service.
• A strong understanding of the retail and competitive environment in which the Nespresso business operates.
