Product Manager – Boots Brand Health & Wellness

Role: Product Manager – Boots Brand Health & Wellness

Contract: Permanent

Shift pattern: Full Time

Location: Nottingham

Closing date: 27th Feb 2026

Recruitment Partner: Matthew Nelligan

What you'll be doing

As Product Manager, you'll be responsible for developing & delivering the 3-year product pipeline within our £350m Boots brand Health & Wellness business, the beating heart of the UK's #1 Health & Beauty brand. You'll have full accountability for the end-to-end product development across your own set of categories: from concept to shelf - building an elevated & modernised range that's sufficient to deliver our ambitious growth target. You'll react fast to changing healthcare market dynamics and wellness trends, identifying opportunities to add value & meet customer needs better than ever before.

Key responsibilities

• You'll strengthen our core - nurturing & evolving our existing ranges, balancing an increase in specialist product range to emphasize our medical authority, with efficiency in trend-led range extensions.

• You'll also handle the non performing segments of our range, replacing products we aren't proud of with products that we love.

• You will work hand in hand with your technical, sourcing, commercial and supply colleagues to create market-leading range plans, that set your product portfolio up to grow ahead of the category.

• You'll build relationships with our design and artwork agencies and marketing teams, collaborating to launch inspiring, unique propositions, taking a disruptive approach that grabs attention and airtime for our brand.

• You'll tell inspiring product stories throughout the organisation, sharing product plans for the future that really excite people.

• You'll be the go-to expert in your range dynamics & hierarchy, role of product and consumer-led positioning.

• You'll lead by example, nurturing your direct reports' talent to drive high performance in product development, positioning & delivery within the categories they work on.

What you'll need to have

• You're able to demonstrate 5 years+ experience in end-to-end product development. Experience in health and wellness is preferable, demonstrating how you can navigate a tightly regulated environment across multiple product classifications. You're passionate about good design, with an understanding of consumer-led product positioning, message hierarchies, claims wording, iconography and colour.

• You spot opportunities where others don't and are determined to see your new product ideas through to delivery, demonstrating your completer-finisher mindset. You have ideas about what you'd do differently in healthcare space and you're able to autonomously prioritise your work according to value generated for the business.

• Excellence in communication: Experience communicating complex technical concepts to a variety of audiences and your storytelling is of a high standard, both verbally and written. This role is pretty copy-heavy, from pack copy writing to sell-in presentations.

• Strong impact & influencing skills are key. With the right resources available to you, you can demonstrate an in-depth understanding of your categories and markets. Your work is clear and easy to follow, and your rationale for decision-making is powerful and hard to dispute, making partner alignment as easy as possible.

• You have experience in leading a team. You're a role model for leadership behaviours, setting a good example to those around you. You're able to demonstrate your ability to deliver through others, by unwavering support, confidence to lean into challenges and commitment to their personal development.

• You build & nurture productive relationships and can demonstrate experience working well within teams. You recognise that collaboration with other experts you can navigate conflicting targets to achieve a common goal.
