The Role

The role of Head of Product owns the product vision and roadmap for Tesco Media’s campaign management platform — the core system that enables advertisers and agencies to plan, buy, optimise and measure media across our omnichannel retail media network. You’ll lead a high‑performing product organisation, working in close partnership with Engineering, Design, Data, Sales, Media Strategy and Operations teams. This is a highly visible role with direct exposure to senior stakeholders, agencies, brands and CPGs, where you’ll balance ambitious platform evolution with reliability, security and commercial outcomes.

• Shape how brands and agencies access Tesco Media inventory through self‑serve and managed‑service models.
• Own the end‑to‑end campaign lifecycle — from insights and planning through activation, measurement and optimisation.
• Deliver a best‑in‑class, modular self‑serve platform that drives adoption, revenue growth and customer satisfaction.
• Reduce time‑to‑market and operational friction through intelligent workflows, governance and execution controls.
• Define the build / buy / partner strategy and lead secure integration of third‑party AdTech solutions.

Ecosystem & Integrations

• Use data, experimentation and rapid testing to drive continuous improvement, performance and innovation.
• Ensure interoperability with wider martech and programmatic ecosystems.
• Define product OKRs and success metrics aligned to Tesco Media’s commercial objectives.

Leadership & Stakeholder Management

• Strong commercial, analytical and customer‑centric mindset.

Leadership & Mindset

• Visionary, strategic thinker who can translate ambition into clear, actionable roadmaps.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity with a start‑up / scale‑up mindset.
