Tesco are undertaking an ambitious and exciting program to bring the customer and colleague checkout experience in house. With over 50,000 tills globally, over 15,000 of which are outside of the UK (i.e. in Ireland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary) the opportunity to create a bespoke checkout experience that draws customers back again and again has significant bottom line potential in terms of improving the customer journey and step-changing our ability to innovate for our customers.
We have great Product, Engineering and Programme teams who are responsible for building the technology solutions (both the “Retail Platform” of Enterprise Services, and the User Interface that colleagues and customers will engage with) needed to support and deliver the Tesco Till initiative. Great progress has already been made in the UK and Ireland, where there are already many tills live in stores demonstrating the potential.

This vacancy is to lead the stream of work aimed at landing the first major step of moving the international market’s till systems onto the Retail Platform, a stream called the “Interim Till”. This involves the first step of deploying parts of the Retail Platform onto tills in all countries and through that proving that they are ready and accurate, at all necessary volumes, to unlock future value streams (including the move to Tesco Till, but also numerous other initiatives requiring the Retail Platform).
Great progress has already been made in Ireland, however there is more to do to complete that work here and then to focus on the Central European countries.
