DEGREES:
GRAPHIC DESIGNER

ARE YOU 200 DEGREES NEXT GRAPHIC DESIGNER?


If so, we need you to drive the growth of one of the UK's leading artisanal coffee roasters and coffeehouse operators.

Your base is Nottingham, a stone's throw from Notts County football ground in the old industrial heartland - the birthplace of Robin Hood, Paul Smith, Raleigh bikes, and running water (1831 apparently, if that stuff interests you.) You'll be experienced, dynamic, don't mind a challenge, and love rolling up your sleeves.

A great opportunity for the right person.


ABOUT 200 DEGREES
We are 200 Degrees Coffee, independent speciality coffee roasters, purveyors of unique coffee shops, and unashamed coffee geeks.


We think that 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 flagship 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 sell our hand-roasted beans in-store and online with five purpose-built Coffee Schools to help everyone drink better coffee.

We also work with a range of hospitality businesses, from independent cafés to Michelin starred restaurants, and supply complete coffee packages to workplaces, shops and conference centres.
