The one who makes the data mean something.
Healf has built something rare. Half a million customers. 100+ brands. A supply chain scaling across borders. A product catalogue that powers the website, the app, Healf Zone, and everything in between.
None of it works without clean data underneath it.
Healf has scaled faster than almost any company in Europe. At that pace, the data infrastructure that got you to £100m is not the infrastructure that gets you to £1bn — and certainly not the infrastructure that takes you across borders.
Going international changes everything. New markets. New compliance requirements. New complexity in how product data flows from supplier intake to storefront. A single data error on a brand can hold up a shipment at customs. A product record without the right attributes fails to load on a new market's storefront. The stakes are real and the timeline is not abstract.
The master data foundation that makes all of it possible hasn't been built yet.
That is the opportunity.
Healf is Europe's fastest-growing company. Number one on the FT1000, number one on the Sifted 100. From £1m to over £100m in under three years, with a small, talent-dense team and an electric culture with day one founder intensity. Now we're aiming for £1bn in the next three. We curate the world's best wellbeing brands across The Four Pillars™: EAT, MOVE, MIND, SLEEP. That's the first chapter. The next chapter is harder and more interesting. We are moving from one market to many, from e-commerce to a technology platform, and from curating wellbeing to defining it. We are a health company, so we think we should act like one. At its fullest expression, Healf redefines what wellbeing means for tens of millions of people.
Why this role is Healf
Master data is not a technical function at Healf. It is a commercial one.
The Product Database sits at the centre of how Healf operates. It feeds the website. It feeds Helix. It feeds Healf Zone. It feeds every downstream customer-facing interaction the business makes. When it is clean, accurate, and governed, everything downstream runs. When it isn't, the failures are everywhere — and they compound.
Scaling internationally makes this urgent. Cross-border shipping requires product data that meets the compliance standards of each market. New country launches depend on being able to translate operational data into local requirements quickly and without error. The PIM complexity of a 100+ brand catalogue across multiple markets is not a problem that solves itself.
Healf has the ambition. It has the growth. It has the international roadmap. What it needs now is the person who owns the data that makes all of it possible. That person reports directly to the COO. The decisions they make in the next twelve months will determine what Healf can and cannot do at scale.
What you will own
→ Healf's master data, end to end. Source data quality, governance, and structure from supplier intake through to analytics. You are the single owner. The standard starts and ends with you.
→ The product data operating model. Formalise ownership, SLAs, and escalation paths across every team that touches product data. Make it clear who is responsible for what — and make sure it holds.
→ The data quality infrastructure. Live dashboards tracking data quality, onboarding performance, and compliance indicators. Reported directly to the COO. You build the visibility that lets the business act before problems cascade.
→ The PIM architecture for international growth. Map systems and product data flows across markets. Ensure that operational data can be translated into downstream use for each new country without error, without delay, and without manual firefighting.
→ The systems map. Understand how data moves from supplier intake through to every downstream output. Find where it breaks. Fix it. Build the architecture that doesn't break again.
Why you're Healf
You have been the true owner of master data somewhere before. Not the person who monitored it. Not the person who inherited a clean system and kept it running. The person who built the governance, set the standards, and was accountable when the data was wrong.
You communicate technical knowledge in a way that non-technical people understand and act on. Data management is not an abstract discipline to you. You can explain what a bad product record costs the business in terms that a commercial team, a logistics team, and a COO all find compelling.
You have done this in a high-growth or transformation environment. You know what it feels like to build structure where none existed — and you prefer it that way. A mature, well-resourced data team with established systems is not the environment that excites you. The blank canvas is.
You are systems-minded in a way that goes beyond the data itself. You see how the data flows, where it originates, where it breaks, and what it touches downstream. You don't fix symptoms. You fix architecture.
You move with urgency. Healf is going international. The timeline is not abstract. The person in this role needs to be operational fast — and needs to understand that the cost of delay is measured in failed launches and held shipments, not just messy spreadsheets.
Show us
→ A master data system or governance framework you built from scratch. What was the state when you arrived, what did you design, and what did the business look like after?
→ A data quality failure that had real commercial consequences. What happened, how did you find it, and what did you put in place so it couldn't happen again?
→ Evidence that you have owned data in a high-growth or transformation environment — not just maintained it in a stable one. What did building from scratch actually look like?
→ A moment where you translated a complex data problem into a decision a non-technical stakeholder could act on. How did you frame it?
→ Something that tells us well-being is personal for you, not just professional.
The deal
£55,000 – £85,000 depending on experience. We ask a great deal of the people who work here. We expect full ownership and a genuine commitment to give this chapter everything you have. In return, we will give you the same: everything we have, invested in your growth, your wellbeing, and the defining skills of the next decade. We have built the fastest-growing company in Europe with a team small enough that every person in it shapes the outcome. That is still true today. The next person we hire will change the trajectory of what we're building. If the most important work of your career is ahead of you, this is the place to do it.
One question
Include your answer in your CV or cover letter attachment when you apply.
Healf is launching in a new European market in three months. The product catalogue has 2,000 SKUs across 100+ brands. The data has never been validated against the compliance requirements of the new market and there is no PIM in place. You have eight weeks before the first shipment needs to leave. Where do you start, and how do you decide what gets fixed first?
