This isn't a strategy role where you'll spend your days in meetings talking about growth. It's a doing role. You'll be the one actually driving it.
Holland & Barrett is scaling its Marketplace range. That means more suppliers, more products, and more complexity. We need someone who knows how to manage that -someone who's worked in a Marketplace environment, understands the mechanics, and can spot commercial opportunities and act on them.
If you're looking for a role where you can make things happen, keep reading.
The Role:
What You'll Actually Be Doing
- Owning the Marketplace strategy and driving growth across new and existing ranges.
- Building and nurturing supplier relationships that go beyond transactional - think strategic partnerships that unlock stock depth, speed to site, and killer listings.
- Using data like a pro to spot trends, optimise performance, and make decisions that move the needle.
- Collaborating with commercial, digital, UX, product, and ops teams to ensure our Marketplace feels seamless to customers and aligned with our wider strategy.
- Forecasting demand, managing replenishment, and finding smart ways to shift excess inventory.
- Making sure our Marketplace doesn't just grow - it thrives.
How We Know You're Nailing It
- Marketplace sales are up. Way up.
- Our product listings are optimised, our conversion rates are climbing, and our customers are coming back for more.
- Suppliers love working with us - and we're their first call when they've got something new.
- Our Marketplace complements our core range, not competes with it.
- You're the go-to person for insights, ideas, and action.
Location:
This role can be based in Nuneaton or London, and occasionally required to travel to any other location of H&B. We?support flexibility and productivity of our employees by hybrid working arrangements with minimum 2 days presence in the office.
The Person:
What You'll Need
- Solid experience in supplier management and Marketplace trading. Amazon, eBay, Mirakl, or similar - you get how it works and how to win.
- Commercial acumen and negotiation skills that make suppliers sit up and listen.
- A data-first mindset - you know your way around analytics platforms like GA, Tableau, Metabase, and you use them to drive decisions.
- A deep understanding of eCommerce - from customer journeys to trading cycles.
- Experience with CMS and merchandising tools to optimise digital performance.
- The ability to work cross-functionally and bring people with you - even when the pace is fast and the pressure's on.
What we offer:
Let's be honest - no one applies for a job just for the mission. You want to know what's in it for you. Here's a taste:
- The salary's competitive - we'll talk numbers early
- 25% off everything at H&B - even the fancy supplements.
- Pension contributions - because future-you deserves a break.
- Perks from other retailers - discounts, advice, and savings from brands you actually use.
- And more - we won't list every perk, but it's more than just free fruit and a pool table.
