About

I am passionate about hiring the world's best talent & nurturing a passionate high performance culture that creates lasting competitive advantage. But most importantly, I am passionate about hunting for talent, engaging with talent, developing talent and partnering with talent. Built on a foundation of industry-leading technology, a world-class team and a scientific approach to building global brands, The Hut Group are fast becoming the world’s most important online retail organisation. We are in the early stages of a once in a lifetime journey that will see the Group become the biggest Internet company to ever emerge from Britain, reaching global scale. We're working on building some very cool products and I am always keen to speak to anyone from a technology background (Software Engineers all the way through to Engineering Managers...and anything inbetween!) Our growth plans are impressive if not a little daunting, but certainly appealing to anyone who has an established career in ecommerce or those thinking about a career in online retail.
