About The Role

A fantastic opportunity for Café colleagues has arisen (6-month secondment) to work within the Buying & Supply Chain team as a Buying Admin Assistant.

Reporting into the Buying & Supply Chain Manager this central team role will include a range of buying and supply chain duties including stock management, product costing and availability, data and report analysis and responsibility for Café stock allocations.

The successful applicant should be organised and a great communicator, with a good understanding of the Fourth system. Experience using Excel is essential as this role will include data analysis and reporting.

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.
