Job Description

Holland & Barrett is growing fast - and we're just getting started.

With double-digit growth for the past two years, we're on a mission to help people take control of their health and wellbeing. Backed by a bold three-year strategy, we're investing in our people, expanding our store footprint, modernising our digital platforms, and launching innovative, science-backed products. In the past year alone, we've opened 36 new stores, refreshed over 320 locations, and grown our customer base by 9%, reaching record levels of satisfaction.



Our growth isn't limited to the UK. We're expanding internationally, with strong momentum across Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, and beyond - driving a 19% increase in global revenues last year. At the same time, we're transforming our digital experience: replacing legacy systems, modernising our supply chain, and launching personalised wellness solutions that make it easier than ever for customers to access the support they need, wherever they are.



If you're looking to be part of a business that's growing fast, embracing innovation, and focused on making a real difference for its customers, Holland & Barrett offers a unique opportunity.

The Role:

Purpose of role:

As our Senior Tax Manager, you'll start by leading on corporate tax compliance and reporting. It's a hands-on opportunity to build a deep understanding of how the business operates, working closely with teams across finance and beyond. You'll be helping to lay the foundations for a robust, forward-looking tax function - one that can support the pace and ambition of our growth.



As your knowledge of the business grows, so will the scope of your role. You'll take on broader responsibilities across VAT and other taxes, and become increasingly involved in strategic and advisory work. Whether it's supporting new commercial initiatives, advising on international expansion, or helping to shape our approach to risk and governance, you'll be at the heart of the conversation.



This role is designed with progression in mind. As the business scales, so will your influence - opening doors to senior leadership and strategic decision making.



This isn't just a next step - it's a chance to shape what comes next.
