WHY WORK AT JOE THE JUICE JOE THE JUICE is a people-centric food and beverage company built around culture, not just juice, sandwiches, coffee, and much more. When joining us, you step into a high-energy community where the music is loud, the bar is your stage, and your personality matters as much as your skills. We believe in four simple virtues that shape everything we do: Positive Attitude Inclusion Social Ties Growth For us, this means that when you choose a cup-half-full mindset, welcome people from every background, build real friendships across the bar by creating great guest experiences, and use every shift as a chance to learn something new — you become more than just a Juicer; like us, you continue to search and find purpose and meaning in what you do.

From your first day, you’ll be part of an international network of Juicers who support each other, celebrate wins together, and push each other to grow. ). If you love fast-paced service, music, people, and the idea of turning a job into a lifestyle, JOE can become a place to build skills, friendships, and a career that can take you across cities, countries, and roles.

Your Mission This is a hands-on, senior individual contributor role at the heart of how Joe the Juice plans, prioritises, and delivers change across the UK market, a market that is actively scaling and maturing its operational infrastructure. Based in London, the role sits within the UK, working closely with Technology, Supply Chain, People, Training, Finance, Construction, and Store Operations. Reporting to the UK Senior Leadership Team, this role owns the infrastructure that keeps the business moving, from how projects are initiated and evaluated through to how they land in stores and across functions.

It combines strategic portfolio governance with hands-on cross-functional programme delivery, ensuring the right things happen in the right order, with every team informed, prepared, and aligned. With real scope to build a best-in-class project management function from the ground up, this is an opportunity for someone who thrives at pace and wants to leave a genuine mark on how a high-energy brand scales.

Key Responsibilities

Own and evolve the project intake and prioritisation framework for the UK market, including standardised intake forms with defined ROI cases, resource asks, and cross-functional impact assessments. Build and scale cross-functional PM capability across the business, educating functional teams on PM principles, tools, and disciplines through coaching, toolkits, templates, and playbooks. Design and manage a live project pipeline and portfolio governance suite — dashboards, intake trackers, and RAG reporting, that gives leadership a clear, real-time view of everything in flight.

Lead operational readiness across all functions ahead of any new initiative, system change, or store opening, establishing clear lead times and cross-departmental sign-off processes. Oversee and improve the UK meeting matrix, including agenda design, pre-reads, and action log ownership, balancing global alignment with local operational needs. Ensure compliance with project governance standards, challenging proposals that lack sufficient commercial justification or operational readiness.

Partner with Copenhagen global teams to represent UK operational needs, flag where global initiatives require localisation, and push back where timelines underestimate UK complexity. Drive clear communication and change initiatives across the UK and global organisations, acting as the connective tissue between the UK Leadership Team and global stakeholders.
