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 PERSON:

What we’re looking for?

• Qualifications – Ideally ACA qualified (ICAEW or ICAS), or ACCA, and/or CIOT, reflecting the technical depth and strategic scope of the role.
• Expertise in UK Corporate Tax - Deep technical knowledge of UK tax legislation, compliance, and reporting cycles, including SAO and audit readiness.
• International Tax & Transfer Pricing - Strong grasp of global tax principles, BEPS Pillar 2, and hands-on experience with transfer pricing policy and documentation.
• Tax Accounting & Year-End Reporting - Proficient in tax accounting standards, year-end provision processes, and balance sheet reviews.
• Broader Tax Knowledge - Solid understanding of either VAT or indirect tax areas, with advisory capability.
• Tech-Enabled Tax Operations - Skilled in using tax technology platforms (e.g., Onesource, Alteryx), with a focus on automation and process improvement.
• Strategic & Commercial Insight - Ability to interpret complex tax legislation in a commercial context, supporting international expansion and structural tax planning.

We’re ideally looking for someone who has already worked in an in-house tax environment - someone who understands the pace, complexity, and cross-functional nature of working within a business. That said, we’re open to candidates coming from practice who can demonstrate strong commercial awareness and adaptability.

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.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Corporate Tax Compliance - Prepare UK returns using Onesource, including group relief, CIR, and managing payments and refunds.
• Capital Allowances & R&D - Lead capital allowances strategy and R&D claims, working closely with advisors and internal teams.
• Year-End & Audit - Deliver tax provisions at entity and group level, and manage auditor relationships and SAO reviews.
• International Tax Advisory - Support global expansion, PE risk, DAC7, and withholding tax matters.
• Transfer Pricing & BEPS - Own transfer pricing policy and documentation, and lead BEPS Pillar 2 compliance.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration - Partner with finance on employment tax, process improvement, and HMRC engagement.
