Location & working arrangement
Nuneaton / H&B hubs, UK | Hybrid
We offer hybrid working, with an expectation that you'll be present at one of our Holland & Barrett offices in Nuneaton or another designated H&B hub (London) for a minimum of two days per week. If London based, Nuneaton travel would be required min 1 day per week - International travel may also be required.
We're creating a stronger, group-wide approach to product data, and this is an opportunity to shape it from the ground up.
As Head of Group Product Data Compliance, you'll set the strategy, governance and operating model for product and supplier data across Holland & Barrett. You'll bring together currently fragmented ways of working, establish clear sources of truth and build the foundations for greater automation, efficiency and growth.
This is a role for someone who can set the direction and make it happen: building the roadmap, leading change across functions and markets, and creating a product data capability that can scale with our ambitions.
What you'll be doing
- Define and deliver our group-wide strategy and roadmap for product data compliance, governance and quality.
- Create consistent standards, processes and controls across markets, channels and business units.
- Lead the end-to-end product data lifecycle, from supplier and product onboarding through to maintenance and retirement.
- Build clear product data structures, hierarchies and sources of truth across the organisation.
- Lead and develop a multi-location team of around 15–20 colleagues, bringing together capabilities as our group model evolves.
- Partner with Product Integrity, Supply Chain, Commercial, Manufacturing, Technology, Data & Analytics and Digital teams.
- Shape and optimise our MDM, PIM, PLM and related technology landscape.
- Develop an automation roadmap, using data, analytics and AI to reduce manual activity, improve quality and increase pace.
- Strengthen product data compliance to support regulatory requirements and the movement of goods across borders.
- Establish meaningful measures for data quality, accuracy, completeness and timeliness, using insight to drive continuous improvement.
