Group Strategy & Innovation Manager

Our Strategy Managers lead some of the highest priority, most complex work in Tesco. They help shape, mobilise and run natural work teams across all business functions to respond to challenges that are often new for everyone involved. This includes keeping focus on long term strategic outcomes whilst developing roadmaps for medium term deliverables.

The role is therefore ideal for somebody looking to build a broader network or gain experience working across multiple functions. It is a great opportunity for somebody to bring challenge, clarity and structure where no precedent exists, whilst leading peers and more senior colleagues to deliver critical business priorities.

You will be responsible for:

Contribute across all Group Strategy work through active participation in the team.
Provide subject matter support and development.
Support in scoping the strategic priorities, including the ambition, priorities and business cases.
Build cross functional programme teams to establish and embed ways of working.
Support the appropriate levels of governance to provide strategic oversight and direction for the programmes.
Drive progress in a consistent, transparent way, and to identify issues and risks, dependencies, and opportunities.

You will need:

Proven project management experience.
Experience in change management.
Involvement in strategy development.
Ability to influence senior stakeholders.

Our vision at Tesco is to become every customer's favourite way to shop, whether they are at home or out on the move. Our core purpose is 'Serving our customers, communities and planet a little better every day'. Serving means more than a transactional relationship with our customers. It means acting as a responsible and sustainable business for all stakeholders, for the communities we are part of and for the planet.

We are proud to have an inclusive culture at Tesco where everyone truly feels able to be themselves. At Tesco, we not only celebrate diversity, but recognise the value and opportunity it brings. We're committed to creating a workplace where differences are valued, and make sure that all colleagues are given the same opportunities. We're a big business with diverse working patterns and many business areas which means that we can find something that works for you. Everyone is welcome at Tesco.

We have recently announced that we will be moving towards a more blended working week – combining office and remote working. Our offices will continue to be where we connect, collaborate and innovate. Please talk to us to about how this can work for you.
