Senior eCommerce Manager - Food and Sports
Holland & Barrett
Date: 2 weeks ago
City: Nuneaton
Contract type: Full time

One of our team is heading off on maternity leave.
While they focus on something far more important than eCommerce metrics, we're looking for someone to step in and be a leader in our digital department with confidence for 12-months.
Yes, it's a maternity cover. No, it's not a placeholder. This is a chance to take the reins of a fast-moving growing digital retail business and make a real impact. It's big. It's visible. It's strategic. And it's yours to run through period of huge digital transformation for H&B.
You'll be the one who sets the direction, puts the plan into motion, and keeps a close eye on the numbers. When things are working, you'll know why - and when they're not, you'll know what to do about it.
You'll be leading a team, collaborating across departments, and generally being the person who knows what's going on in your corner of the digital universe.
The Role
What you'll actually be doing:
We're looking at the numbers that matter - the ones that show your strategy's not just working, but winning:

The Role
What you'll actually be doing:
- Building and executing digital category strategies that drive revenue, not just PowerPoint slides - specifically across our food and drink ranges, where customer habits shift fast and margins matter.
- Owning the P&L for your categories. You'll know what's working, what's not, and what needs fixing.
- Leading a team of four - mentoring, challenging, and developing them to be even better.
- Driving performance across our website and app in the UK & Ireland.
- Owning the Marketplace from top to bottom - listings, pricing, ads, vendors, inventory, the lot. Especially in food and drink, where availability and visibility are everything.
- Collaborating across the business - Digital Trading, eCRM, Social, Commercial, Finance, Supply Chain. You'll be the connector, not the bottleneck.
- Using data as your compass - uncovering trends, solving problems, and spotting opportunities before they become obvious. Think seasonal spikes, basket behaviours, and what's flying off the shelves.
- Improving the customer experience - from first click to final checkout, and everything in between.
We're looking at the numbers that matter - the ones that show your strategy's not just working, but winning:
- Revenue, margin, EBITDA - the big stuff.
- Conversion rates, AOV, IPB - the stuff that tells us if your plans are working.
- Customer growth - new, returning, and sticking around.
- Bounce rates and interaction times - because we want people to stay, not sprint away.
- Shopper frequency - because once is nice, but twice is better.
The Person
What you'll need:
- Experience in a big D2C environment - ideally in food, drink, or FMCG, where pace, precision, and product availability really matter.
- A track record of spotting growth opportunities and actually doing something about them.
- Comfort with data - not just reading dashboards, but acting on them.
- Leadership - you've led teams, developed people, and made things happen.
- Marketplace know-how - you've worked with vendors, optimised listings, and driven performance.
- Strategic thinking - you can zoom out, plan ahead, and still get stuff done today.
- Stakeholder skills – you know how to build alignment and keep momentum going, with purposeful conversations and clear direction.
- A healthy disrespect for “how we've always done it.”
- 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 ping-pong table.
