About Data at Holland & Barrett

At Holland & Barrett (H&B), we want to empower everyone to live healthier, happier lives.

Our ambition is to become the world's most trusted wellness partner, chosen by over 100 million people worldwide.

Our Analytics organisation is structured into five verticals: four embedded analytics areas aligned to key business functions, and a central Business Intelligence team focused on cross-functional reporting and performance enablement. Together with our Data Engineering and Data Science colleagues, we make data a strategic lever to achieve H&B's goals.

As a Senior Analyst in the Core Business Analytics team, you'll support the Property, Format, and Space & Range functions, using data to optimise our store footprint, layout strategy, and space performance. You'll partner closely with stakeholders across Property, Commercial, and Space Planning to support decisions on new store investments, refits, planograms, and in-store execution.

The Role

What You'll Do

• Partner with Property, Commercial, and Space Planning teams to understand business problems and help them make better decisions through data.
• Lead the development of dashboards and tools in Metabase that track space performance, location profitability, and layout effectiveness.
• Write clean, efficient SQL to transform and analyse large datasets across sales, store attributes, formats, and product hierarchies.
• Translate business needs into clear analytical questions and deliver insights that guide senior stakeholder decisions.
• Take ownership of delivery-scoping, prioritising, and executing projects aligned to estate strategy and category impact.
• Ensure outputs are scalable, documented, and embedded into team workflows.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with BI Developers, Embedded Analysts, and Commercial teams to deliver end-to-end data products.
• Mentor mid-level analysts and contribute to capability-building across the Core Business Analytics team.
• Work with a modern data stack, including Redshift, BigQuery, Matillion, and Retool.

Location:

This is a hybrid role, with 2 days per week expected in either our London or Nuneaton office.
