Overview
Tesco UK • Shire Park, Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire • Apply by 22-Oct-2025
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 are delighted to share that we are recruiting for ambitious and hard-working Assistant Buyers to join our dynamic Home and Clothing (F&F) teams here at Tesco. Tesco is a leading multinational retailer and as an Assistant Buyer at Tesco, you will play a huge role within the team. Working alongside a Buying Manager, you will be responsible for ensuring we plan and deliver the most commercial and profitable ranges to meet our Customer's needs.
These roles would suit someone who is already an established Assistant Buyer looking for a new challenge.
