Technical Programme Manager - Body Worn Video Programme

Technical Programme Managers (TPMs) are responsible for delivering complex, cross-functional technology programmes that directly contribute to ensuring colleagues can serve our customers better. They work collaboratively, influence Product, Engineering, Operations, and business colleagues and lead the programme to deliver value quickly and often.

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, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.
