We have an outstanding opportunity for an Associate Product Manager to join Tesco’s Price Publish service, part of the wider Retail Platform Team. Our mission is to deliver flexible pricing capabilities by building a compliant, secure, robust, performant, and scalable platform that enables our commercial business users to set, update and publish prices across our entire Tesco store and digital estate.
Reporting to the Lead Product Manager in the UK, you will work alongside other Product Managers, Engineers, Data Analysts and Technical Programme Managers, to help define the vision and strategy for your Product. In the Price Publish team, you will focus on making sure Tesco is reliably and robustly enabling the setup of base prices, which is a critical function for Tesco. You will also be helping to solve customer and business problems that span the wider pricing domain. This is a well-established product entering its next phase of maturity, with a focus on optimisation, refinement, and the transition to a scalable, well-maintained, and highly automated solution. This is part of our wider Pricing platform which powers all the colleague pricing and customer checkout transactions at Tesco, across all the countries where we sell to customers. It is in support of Tesco’s core purpose and values.
