Tesco Labs is at the heart of innovation enabled by emerging technologies. Joining us means playing a part in defining, building and launching an ambitious roadmap that could affect the lives of millions of colleagues and customers globally.

We need people who share our ambition. Passionate and willing to take the initiative to drive us forwards. In return we offer excitement, a great team, an excellent benefit package and significant career development opportunities.

Product managers at Tesco are passionate about solving problems. They take accountability for complex and strategic products, and are empowered to drive the product strategy, the roadmap, and the outcomes. Driven by curiosity and innovation, coupled with strong partnership with Business, Engineering, User Research and Data Science teams, our product managers create value for our Customers, Colleagues and Businesses across all markets.

About The Role

At Tesco Labs, we use our passion for innovation, to create new and disruptive retail focussed experiences and products, for Tesco customers and colleagues globally. Our products are typically ‘new to world’ or ‘new to retail’ and we work across the Innovation Horizons, from nearer term opportunities, to testing hypothesis in experimental, breakthrough innovation. We do this with a proud track record.

It really is a role at the cutting edge and no two days are the same. We’re looking for someone with an innovator’s mindset and product management rigour. You’ll need to be comfortable with complexity and ambiguity while moving products forward, often with tight deadlines. A role in the Lab means ‘no blueprints’ ways of working - we’re inventing the new. We’re looking for a real self-starter to discover, define, develop and deliver world class, new to world products.
