Job Description

Together, our Food, Corporate Purchasing, Fashion and General Merchandise teams make up our Commercial function - the second largest function within the Tesco business. Our teams drive and deliver the phenomenal sales and profit growth to ensure we maintain our number one position in the UK.

Decisions we make in the Commercial team directly affect all our customers and stores, as well as the rest of the business as a whole. It's our job to make sure we offer the best range of products, at the best possible prices. Put it this way - product is our lifeblood.

As a Graduate Trainee Buyer you will see yourself on a structured development programme which will ensure you have the skills you'll need to succeed in our fast-paced world. Whether you want to work with our suppliers around the globe, manage our £ multi-million budgets, or develop new products and research the latest trends - your role will be key to delivering our strategy for growth.

We are looking for graduates who are keen to develop a breadth of experience across our Commercial categories. As the programme is very much on-the-job, you could see yourself starting in Dairy, moving to Produce and ultimately ending up as a Buyer in Electricals. Likewise, you may decide that Fashion is for you and stay in Fashion for the length of your career.

We are looking for people who have:

  • At least a 2:2 degree in any discipline (or expect to receive)
  • 240 UCAS points at A Level/Scottish Highers or other equivalent qualifications (excluding General Studies)
  • Flair and excellent communication skills
  • An enthusiasm for new and exciting challenges
  • The ability to work well with others at all levels both inside and outside Tesco
  • Lots of energy and a drive to succeed
