Job description

While you may start by rolling up your sleeves with user stories and backlogs, your ultimate mission is to create an environment where your team can thrive, innovate, and transform the way Tesco approaches cyber data. You’ll also be the voice of your products to senior leadership, ensuring they see the full picture and the business value you’re driving.

• Strong understanding of data analytics, AI technologies, and standard processes.
• Knowledge of cybersecurity principles and best practices.
