The Role
The role of Head of Product owns the product vision and roadmap for Tesco Media’s campaign management platform – the core system that enables advertisers and agencies to plan, buy, optimise and measure media across our omnichannel retail media network.
You’ll lead a high‑performing product organization, working in close partnership with Engineering, Design, Data, Sales, Media Strategy and Operations teams. This is a highly visible role with direct exposure to senior stakeholders, agencies, brands and CPGs, where you’ll balance ambitious platform evolution with reliability, security and commercial outcomes.

* Shape how brands and agencies access Tesco Media inventory through self‑serve and managed‑service models.
Self‑Serve Platform & AdTech Development
* Own the end‑to‑end campaign lifecycle – from insights and planning through activation, measurement and optimisation.
* Deliver a best‑in‑class, modular self‑serve platform that drives adoption, revenue growth and customer satisfaction.
* Reduce time‑to‑market and operational friction through intelligent workflows, governance and execution controls.
* Define the build / buy / partner strategy and lead secure integration of third‑party AdTech solutions.
Ecosystem & Integrations
* Build integrations with leading AdTech and retail media platforms (e.g. Skai, Pacvue, DSPs such as The Trade Desk).
* Ensure interoperability with wider martech and programmatic ecosystems.
Data‑Led Product Management
* Define product OKRs and success metrics aligned to Tesco Media’s commercial objectives.
* Use data, experimentation and rapid testing to drive continuous improvement, performance and innovation.
Leadership & Stakeholder Management
* Build, lead and inspire a global product team, partnering closely with Design and Engineering.
* Act as a trusted advisor to senior and executive stakeholders across dunnhumby, Tesco Media and the wider Tesco Group.
* Navigate complex technical, commercial and operational trade‑offs with clarity and confidence.
Industry Leadership
* Represent Tesco Media externally, positioning us as a thought leader in retail media and AdTech.
* Develop product playbooks, collateral and thought leadership content to support market adoption.
What We’re Looking For
* Proven senior product leadership experience within retail media, AdTech or B2B platform environments.
* Track record of defining and delivering large‑scale platform products from concept through launch and scale.
* Deep understanding of AdTech ecosystems, platform architecture, APIs and data models.
* Experience leading complex third‑party integrations and build / buy / partner decisions.
* Strong commercial, analytical and customer‑centric mindset.
Leadership & Mindset
* Visionary, strategic thinker who can translate ambition into clear, actionable roadmaps.
* Comfortable operating in ambiguity with a start‑up / scale‑up mindset.
* High technical fluency, able to bridge business and engineering conversations.
* Confident influencing senior stakeholders without formal authority.
* Passion for building, scaling and continuously improving platform products.
Why Join Us
* Shape one of the most sophisticated retail media AdTech platforms globally.
