Job Description:

Origin is creating a new entry-level role in New Product Development to support the growth of Ready to Drink and future coffee product innovation. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of brewing craft, technical curiosity, and practical production. Based in our new Brewery in Cornwall and working closely with the Ready to Drink Manager, you will support products end-to-end, from early recipe trials through to production support and packing. You will learn quickly, contribute to structured iteration, and help uphold quality and consistency as ideas move from bench to bottle. You will also be customer-facing at times, hosting visitors, partners, and collaborators in NPD and production settings and representing Origin with warmth, clarity, and professionalism.

  • Support tastings, walkthroughs, and product discussions as needed
  • Stay curious about speciality coffee and Ready to Drink trends
  • Contribute ideas grounded in customer needs and drinking moments
  • Support cross-functional alignment with roasting, QC, retail, wholesale, and brand

Requirements:

  • Strong brewing capability and confidence working with recipes
  • Interest in extraction science, flavour development, and sensory evaluation
  • Methodical approach to trials, recording results and learnings
  • Reliable, organised, and quality-focused in production environments
  • Collaborative working style and clear communication
  • Clean driving licence
  • Flexibility needed around trials, launch moments, and production planning
What we offer:
  • 26 days’ holiday, including your birthday off, plus flexible bank holidays
  • Unlimited coffee and discounts on merchandise and partner products
  • B Corp certified and proudly independent
  • People-first culture with meaningful, values-led work
