Senior Frontend Engineer - Supply Chain

Holland & Barrett International is striving to be the world's leading health and wellness business. Currently the largest in Europe and growing in other markets, the health and wellness of our colleagues and customers is at our heart.  

Technology at H&B 

We're on a mission to make health and wellness a way of life for everyone – and technology is at the heart of our future plans to become a leading omni-channel retailer. We're building some great products, and we're investing in the rapidly advancing technology that is helping our customers meet their health and wellness goals. We're delivering more speed in the retail experience, greater convenience in service and delivery, and increasing personalisation in our brand and product propositions, both in-store and online. 

We are hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer to join our Supply Chain department, within our Space and Range squad!

We are building amazing 3D space planning tools in-house, while our backend services process, store and surface the data to make all this work for us and our partner teams. We're building new tools to simplify the job of our merchandisers, enabling them to graphically allocate a range of products to a set of shelves as well as planning the store configurations at large. Store planners then use our software to organise those shelves of products in every one of our stores, adapting to the available space.

Looking forward, we'll be integrating data science models to propose better-performing products and layouts to our merchandising teams and our target is to replace third-party software packages with our own tailored solutions.
