UK-based health and beauty retailer with 10,000+ employees across stores and online
Superdrug operates a large omnichannel retail footprint in health and beauty, anchored by Oracle E-Business Suite, SAP Commerce Cloud, and Azure infrastructure. Hiring is heavily weighted toward store-based roles (sales and healthcare staff), with a long tail of junior positions, but engineering is minimal — suggesting a mature business focused on operational scale and in-store experience rather than platform innovation. Current focus spans loss prevention, inventory optimization, and NHS pharmacy funding — typical pain points for high-volume retail with tight margins.
Superdrug is a UK public retailer headquartered in Croydon, Surrey, selling beauty, skincare, fragrances, and health products across physical stores and online.
