Principal Product Manager – Project Beyond
We’re a confidential (NDA), AI‑first team inside Tesco, operating with startup urgency to create new customer growth. Expect end‑to‑end ownership—rapid experimentation, fast shipping, and leaning in wherever the work takes you, beyond your job title. If you’re ambitious, hard‑working, and excited to build 0 → 1 against tall ambitions, you’ll thrive here. Own and realise our product vision—turning insight into products customers love while advancing Tesco’s growth strategy. Move from idea to impact at venture speed, aligning teams to deliver measurable growth.
Responsibilities
* Partner with UX to run continuous discovery loops with real customers—design, test, learn, repeat.
* Rapidly prove or disprove our next inflection points—frame hypotheses, ship scrappy experiments, decide with evidence.
* Own the backlog end‑to‑end—prioritise ruthlessly, write crisp stories, and unblock delivery.
* Build and communicate a living roadmap that aligns squads, leadership, and Tesco’s business strategy.
* Define, instrument, and drive our North Star metrics—create a clear path from experiments to measurable outcomes.
* Balance now vs next—deliver value today while de‑risking and realising the long‑term vision, always customer‑first.
* Partner with internal and partner engineers to deliver at venture speed—balance quality vs speed; design for scalability, robustness, and secure, production‑ready releases.
* Craft, evolve, and evangelise a living, customer‑anchored product vision and strategy—tell a compelling story that excites stakeholders, aligns teams, and ladders into Tesco’s growth strategy.
* Bias to action: move from idea to test to live quickly, and learn in the wild.
* Scrappy and resourceful: ship with the tools at hand; progress over perfection.
* Customer‑obsessed: validate with customers and let insight drive decisions.
* Ownership: take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks.
* Transparent communicator: keep the team and stakeholders in the loop, early and often.
