About the role
About Marketplace
Marketplace is a brand-new online venture for Tesco, designed to give our customers the opportunity to use our website to shop for a wide range of third-party products in addition to the groceries they already know and love. Join us on this exciting new journey, and you'll be a key member of a hardworking, collaborative team that's delivering on our promise to serve our customers, communities and the planet a little better every day.
Life on the team
As a creative pioneer and inspirational manager, you'll be an innovative business owner. The key to the Marketplace team's success will be its ability to work with many other teams in the wider Tesco family, including Finance, Digital Product and Online Operations.

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.
