About H&B
At Holland & Barrett, we're over 150 years old - and building like a startup. We've gone all-in on digital, becoming a fully cloud-native organisation using Kubernetes, containers, serverless, and event-driven architecture. Now, we're ready for the next step: building a secure, world-class internal platform - and we need a DevSecOps leader to make it happen.
About the Role
This is a greenfield platform role with real ownership. You'll lead the creation of a secure, scalable operational platform designed first and foremost for developers. Our goal? A seamless, automated, secure path to production - security built in, not bolted on.
We believe in "platform as a product". Your platform will power how teams across the business build, ship, and operate software - safely, quickly, and with confidence.
The Role
As Platform Engineering Manager (DevSecOps), you'll lead a talented team of engineers and shape both the technical direction and the DevSecOps culture. This is a hands‑on leadership role where strategy meets delivery.
You’ll be trusted to:
* Own the security, architecture, and roadmap of our operational platform
* Embed security and automation across the full SDLC
* Champion collaboration between engineering, security, and operations
* Raise the bar on engineering excellence and developer experience
What You’ll Do
* Design, build, and run a secure cloud-native platform (AWS)
* Lead and mentor a high‑performing DevSecOps / platform team
* Define and deliver the DevSecOps roadmap
* Drive security automation, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code
* Partner closely with development teams to remove friction and enable speed
Key Requirement
* Proven experience leading DevSecOps or platform engineering teams
* Strong hands‑on knowledge of cloud security (AWS)
* Deep understanding of CI/CD, IaC, and security automation
* Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and modern cloud tooling
* A product mindset and genuine passion for developer experience
* Clear communication and the ability to influence at all levels
Why Holland & Barrett?
* Real impact: You'll shape a core platform used across the business
* Modern tech: Cloud-native, greenfield, no legacy constraints
* Remote‑first: Work from anywhere, with a global team
* Purpose‑led: Helping people live healthier, happier lives
If you're excited about building secure platforms that developers actually love - we'd love to hear from you.
