About Us:

We're reimagining grocery for the modern urban consumer — building a premium, tech-enabled convenience store chain that blends hot food, curated grocery, and digital-first experiences. With bold ambitions, we’re launching our first store this year and need strong technical foundations to scale.

We’re looking for a Technical Systems Lead with a builder’s mindset to architect, implement, and own our core technology stack. You’ll take responsibility for our ERP system (Odoo) and ensure it seamlessly connects to our wider ecosystem — POS, payments, inventory, finance, supply chain, and customer-facing tools.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll be designing integrations, managing hardware/software connections, building and maintaining databases, and extracting the data needed to power decision-making.

• Own our ERP (Odoo) end-to-end: configuration, optimisation, and integration across supply chain, finance, inventory, and retail ops
• Design, implement, and maintain integrations with other core systems (POS, payments, loyalty, 3rd-party SaaS, internal dashboards)
• Manage and integrate hardware systems (POS terminals, kiosks, self-checkouts, payment devices, IoT sensors)
• Build and maintain new databases; ensure data integrity, security, and accessibility for operational and commercial use
• Extract, clean, and transform data from systems and databases for analysis, reporting, and forecasting
• Automate workflows and data pipelines to reduce manual effort and unlock operational efficiency
• Support AI-powered use cases such as demand forecasting, reporting automation, and customer insights
• Collaborate with the team to ensure our technical stack underpins business growth and scalability

• Experience in technical systems or integration roles (retail, FMCG, or QSR environments a plus)
• Strong ERP Experience (Odoo Preferred) — Implementation, Customisation, And Integration
• Solid background in systems integration (APIs, middleware, data pipelines)
• Hands-on experience managing hardware/software integrations (POS, kiosks, terminals, IoT)
• Database experience (SQL, schema design, optimisation, ETL processes)
• Ability to extract and manipulate data for reporting, forecasting, and operational insights
• Technically fluent and comfortable engaging with engineers, vendors, and non-technical stakeholders
• Entrepreneurial and resourceful; thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments

• Be part of a category-defining retail concept from day zero
• Build the technical backbone of a national-scale retail business
• Work alongside a visionary, execution-focused team backed by top-tier investors
• Influence real-world change in how grocery is experienced in the UK
