Overview

Data is the beating heart at Holland & Barrett. Our data teams — Data Engineering, Data Warehousing, BI, Data Science and Product Analytics — enable the company's vision of becoming the world leader in personalised wellness journeys. We aim to provide access to quality data at the speed of thought and to enable data-driven decision making across the organisation. We build and deploy advanced data products that deliver a world-class user experience to our customers.

We are looking for a passionate Senior Data Warehousing Engineer to join our growing Data & Analytics organisation. You'll be part of the Data Warehousing team, collaborating with Data Engineering, BI, Data Science and Product Analytics colleagues to shape the future of data at H&B.

About The Role

As a Senior Data Warehousing Engineer, you'll play a key role in building and scaling our data environment. You will integrate raw data sources — such as sales, supply chain and clickstream data — and design data models that enable BI reporting, customer segmentation and content personalisation. Your work will directly influence how H&B delivers for our customers. You'll work with technologies including Amazon Redshift, Matillion and the AWS ecosystem, and you'll be hands-on with SQL, ELT workflows and data modelling.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a big impact in a high-growth business, while collaborating across product, tech and business teams.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Integrating raw data sources into the H&B data environment
  • Building and scaling our data warehouse in Amazon Redshift
  • Designing, building and maintaining ELT workflows
  • Developing data cubes and applications to support BI, marketing and analytics
  • Writing high-quality SQL and ensuring system health across our data stack
  • Partnering with product, tech and business teams to deliver impactful projects
  • Contributing to the vision, culture and strategy of the Data & Analytics organisation
  • Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
  • 3–4 years' experience transforming large datasets into analytics and BI solutions (e-commerce experience is a plus)
  • Highly advanced SQL skills
  • Strong experience with cloud data warehouses (AWS Redshift preferred)
  • Experience with at least one programming language (Python preferred)
  • A broad technical skillset and eagerness to learn — from Git and Linux to APIs, Docker, NoSQL and serverless tools
  • Bonus: experience in data visualisation, analytics or serverless data stacks (Lambda, Kinesis, API Gateway)
  • Entrepreneurial mindset, strong communication skills, and a drive to deliver in a fast-paced environment

Benefits

  • Technology Incentive Scheme - bonus schemes for all grades in Technology, starting at 10%
  • Learning and Development opportunities
  • Career progression
  • Pension contribution
  • 28 or 33 days holiday per year
  • Refer and Earn Scheme

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.

Data Science Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data science in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re far from alone. Across the UK, businesses are investing in data science talent to turn data into insight, support better decisions and unlock competitive advantage. But with all the hype about machine learning, Python, AI and data unicorns, it can be hard to separate real opportunities from noise. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on data science careers for mid-life career switchers — what roles really exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining typically takes, what UK recruiters actually look for and how to craft a compelling career pivot story. Whether you come from finance, marketing, operations, research, project management or another field entirely, there are meaningful pathways into data science — and age itself is not the barrier many people fear.

How to Write a Data Science Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data science plays a critical role in how organisations across the UK make decisions, build products and gain competitive advantage. From forecasting and personalisation to risk modelling and experimentation, data scientists help translate data into insight and action. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data science candidates. Job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the mix of analytical skill, business understanding and communication ability the role actually requires. At the same time, experienced data scientists skip over adverts that feel vague, inflated or misaligned with real data science work. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data scientists are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and immature data practices. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data science job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a strong data employer.
