Summary
About the role
Tesco Online is the biggest Online grocer in the UK and one of the largest in the world. Our Fulfilment Operation is fundamental to supporting the success of Online, and a significant lever in achieving our profitability objectives.

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.
