About the role

We are delighted to share that we are recruiting for an ambitious and hard-working Online Assistant Merchandiser to join our exciting new F&F Online Commercial department within the Home & Clothing teams here at Tesco on a permanent contract. 

Tesco is a leading multinational retailer and as an Online Assistant Merchandiser at Tesco, you will play a huge role within the team. Working in the Merchandising department, you'll help support your Online Merchandising Planning Manager to ensure products are ranged and launch online at the right time.

We also recognise that life looks a little different for each of us. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. That’s why at Tesco, we always welcome a conversation about flexible working. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.
