Senior Product Manager - Cost Domain

At Tesco, we believe in the power of spending more time together, face to face, than apart. So, during your working week, you can expect to spend 60% of your time in one of our office locations or local sites and the rest remotely. 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.

Our role is to support the delivery of the commercial strategy through building and delivering best in class technology solutions. Through our differentiate and transform strategic focus area, we are prioritising data and AI capabilities which will allow Tesco to differentiate and drive operational simplicity.

Our role is for the Tesco group, delivering re-usable capabilities to the group, to drive value at scale.

The Cost Domain provides a critical role in managing the costs between Tesco and its supplier partners. As a core business API, the Cost Service will become the single source of cost data and cost agreements.  

By providing a platform to understand the breakdown of our costs, the service will enable Tesco to predict and respond to inflating and deflating markets, whilst enabling other teams to engineer applications to optimise value for Tesco, supplier partners and customers.

As the Senior Product Manager, you will join at a great time to create the vision for the product, help define the domain of cost and be responsible for building a new strategy for the transformation of handling costs across the Tesco business.
