Our team plays a central role in everything we do at Tesco, while nurturing talent and crafting pathways for growth – and, most importantly, we know how to have fun along the way!

We are actively recruiting for our Business Partnering and FP&A teams and would love to talk to you about how these roles can fit your career aspirations. In Business Partnering roles, you'll provide insights, challenge decisions, and offer strategic support to key areas such as Product, Customer, and Channels. Your financial and commercial expertise will help shape the business, drive value opportunities, and influence decisions.

As a Lead FP&A Manager, you’ll work across key areas such as Customer, Property, Technology, Procurement, Telecoms, and Trade Analysis, ensuring accurate performance reporting, co‑ordinating our management accounts and leading on strategic planning and budgeting.

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.

We’re all about the little helps. That’s why we make sure our Tesco colleague benefits package takes care of you – both in and out of work. to find out more!
