About the role

TESCO’s fulfilment operations are powered by one of the largest distribution and fulfilment networks in the world. Store Fulfilment is the backbone of the business and at the forefront of serving our Customers. Our fulfilment network ensures our Customers get their shopping, when, where and how they want it. Our fulfilment operations are on a progressive journey to embrace automation and modernise our applications, with technology at the heart of our industry leading plans.

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to be part of this journey, sharing our ambition to deliver for our Customers; be curious and passionate about unleashing the potential of Automation in our Distribution and Fulfilment network. We are looking for a product manager who has a proven track record, ideally in fulfilment, across both Front (e.g. Colleague & Management Applications) and the Backend which drives them (e.g. API, business logic & algorithms). If that sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you.

You will be responsible for

• This role will best suit an individual who enjoys working as part of a team, is well organised, pragmatic and a lateral thinker with a curious mind who is motivated to challenge the status quo, make change for the better and, most importantly, puts our customers first.
