Supply Chain - Internal Consulting

We're market leaders in what we do. Our projects focus on delivering major improvements to Tesco's Supply Chain through improving product availability, reducing waste, removing costs, and improving our processes. You'll be joining a high-profile team within Tesco who combine analytical problem solving with the real world challenges of implementing change quickly within one of the world's largest retailers. We're looking for exceptionally able candidates who have the drive to deliver projects that improve the way we operate.

As part of our high potential graduate development programme you'll work on several projects across different areas of our Supply Chain to build your knowledge and experience. During your training you'll be mentored and supported by our Internal Consulting and Development team.

What will I be doing?

Following an initial period of training and development you'll work on a series of projects across different areas of supply chain. These projects are an opportunity to develop your knowledge further, and gain experience from putting your ideas into practice. The projects will be across the following areas:

1. Supply Chain: We manage and improve how the supply chain operates, including promotions, events and new store openings. We work across the business with marketing, buyers and suppliers to make sure plans come together and stock flows seamlessly into our stores.
2. Replenishment: We manage and improve the processes within stores to keep our shelves full and keep products available for customers. From the warehouse to the shelf, this includes replenishment operations, merchandising the stock control.
3. Development: We work across the supply chain to improve systems and processes. We work with our IT division to introduce new technology, and with the operations teams to improve core purpose and improve the customer experience.

The Programme runs annually from September. After induction and business familiarisation (including hands-on experience in store and depot, as well as systems training), you'll be placed on your first project:

During the year, you'll have a great support network. You'll have a dedicated buddy, who has recently completed the programme. You'll also have a mentor who will be a senior manager. This is complemented by a variety of development opportunities and training courses that will help you excel at Tesco.

Where could it take me?

After you successfully complete the programme, you'll either move to a management position with operational accountabilities, or join the Internal Consulting team who manage change work within the Supply Chain. You'll be given responsibility for performing an important role within the Supply Chain, taking ownership of projects, processes or teams of people.

There are many opportunities to progress at Tesco as the business is continually expanding both in the UK and internationally. Graduates have the potential to deliver high profile and tangible change to Tesco. You'll have the opportunity to progress to Senior Management as quickly as your development will allow.
