Commercial Development Programme - Food Buying
Within our Commercial division in Head Office were always looking for new talent.
If youve identified that University isn't the path you'd like to take, but you believe you have the drive and the ability to develop a career within Tesco, then we can offer you the opportunity to get on.
Trainee Buying opportunities are open to students who have completed their A Levels, have 240 UCAS and are looking for an alternative to university.
It isn't an easier option, just a different route. You'll have shown through your exam results that you have the drive to succeed.
Now this is the opportunity to prove it.
Our business is fast-paced and challenging so expectations will be high.
The responsibility of a real job within the Commercial team will be daunting and exciting, but its your can-do attitude and resilience that will ensure that you stand out.
There's more to shopping with us than meets the eye. Our Commercial teams, based in our Cheshunt Head Office, work behind the scenes to enable us to remain competitive within the marketplace.
Putting the customer at the heart of everything we do, our buyers ensure we source the right products at the right price for our customers.
Our Buyers work to source and deliver a great range of quality products that our customers want to buy.
What is Buying?
Using a combination of product knowledge, in depth customer insight and previous sales results, our buyers source, negotiate and manage our range of products to ensure we continue to give our customers what they want at great prices.
Developing relationships and negotiating with suppliers is an essential part of the role, as is great understanding of your customer and the product you are buying.
The commercial division is incredibly fast-paced and challenging. There will be a lot to learn but we will support you all the way to give you the training you need to become an expert within your field and develop your career at Tesco and realise your potential.
