Associate Product Manager - Store Colleague Experience

We have an amazing opportunity for an Associate Product Manager to join the Tesco Store Colleague Experience Product Team, part of the wider Stores Product Team. Our mission is to make work easier for our colleagues in store, helping them serve customers through simple, effective colleague-facing tools, experiences and services.

You will work alongside other Product Managers, Designers, Engineers, Data Analysts and Technical Programme Managers to help define the vision and strategy.

This role covers a number of areas, including improving the colleague experience to help store colleagues efficiently manage stock availability for customers. A key focus is supporting the transformation of replenishment in store, helping colleagues replenish stock more effectively through improved processes, tools, and data-driven decision making. You will also contribute to how inventory and product data is captured, maintained, and shared across enterprise platforms, helping to improve the accuracy and reliability of stock information across Tesco. Together, this work supports the wider transformation of how stock is managed and replenished across Tesco stores in the future.

Whilst specific responsibilities will be dependent upon the changing needs of the Tesco business, the following provides an overview of the role’s key responsibilities and measures:

• Support the evolution of the product roadmap by writing user stories, managing the backlog and prioritisation of work.
• Understand key user personas, customers and stakeholders for the product and their pain points.
• Work alongside research, design, analytics, and engineering teams to design and develop solutions to solve real business needs.
• Develop a strong understanding of product features and support demonstrations to different audiences within and outside the immediate product team.
• Document and explain new requirements to the engineering team using user stories, personas, and acceptance criteria, helping to break down complex pieces of work or epics into smaller, deliverable chunks of value.
• Support the performance and adoption of your product by monitoring usage, gathering feedback and identifying opportunities to improve value.
• Support the management of live product issues through coordination, communication and effective prioritisation.
• Monitor competitor activity and market trends.

• An understanding of product management best practice and methodologies, including how product vision and strategy can align teams and stakeholders around key outcomes.
• The ability to build strong working relationships with peers, stakeholders, and teams across the business, using these relationships to build consensus, drive change, and deliver value.
• Experience of working with, or an interest in learning how to navigate, complex change environments involving multiple product and engineering teams.
• Familiar with key UX/UI principles, and knowledge of how to apply these, including research methods and experimentation to test ideas and hypotheses.
• Awareness of how to create insights from customer research to influence the product roadmap, and how to use tools related to managing the roadmap.
• An understanding of the product management lifecycle, including the product delivery process and agile practices to discover, design, define, develop and deliver value in small increments.
• Experience of working in a store environment and/or supporting store inventory management and maintenance would be beneficial to the role.
