At Tesco, we believe in the power of spending more time together, face to face, than apart. So, during your working week, you can expect to spend 60% of your time in one of our office locations or local sites and the rest remotely. We also recognise that life looks a little different for each of us. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. That’s why at Tesco, we always welcome a conversation about flexible working. So, please talk to the Hiring Manager about how they can support you.
A new and rare opportunity has arisen for a Buying Manager to join the Meat, Fish, Poultry and Eggs category in the Fresh Foods Division.

This opportunity is to lead the Buying and Category Strategy for Chicken, where our ambition is to Sell More Better Quality Chicken, delivered through market leading quality, a welfare step change, and relentless focus on availability and pricing.
You will get the breadth of experience of managing Tesco Own Brand products from farm to fork.
To thrive in this position you will need a fusion of market insight, commercial acumen and great communication/negotiation skills.
