Who we look for

As a buyer, you'll help to develop and manage the supply of whatever area of our business you'll be working in. More than that, you'll make sure we deliver excellent customer service by building relationships at all levels.

That means working closely with other departments, developing product ranges and maintain a sustainable supply base - It's obviously important we meet financial targets as well as our customers' expectations.

You'll also develop supplier strategies and objectives, setting specific targets and boosting our performance through the buying plan.

What you'll need

You'll need to be a good negotiator, customer focussed and possess strong communication skills. On top of all that, you'll need to be adept at supplier management, with a solid grasp of how to analyse management information.

Of course, purchasing experience would be great, but we're more interested in your influencing and business skills as well as your desire to succeed in a business that's constantly moving forwards.

Where next?

Just as in every other part of our business, an opportunity for our people to get on is important to us. In the past, members of the corporate purchasing team have moved across to other parts of Tesco.

Bring the right attitude and abilities, and there's no holding you back.
