Technical Programme Manager (Payments)

Tesco Business Services & Technology (TBST) was established in Budapest in 2019, supporting the Tesco retail business in Central Europe and the Tesco Group. TBST is part of our global business services and technology organisations within Tesco.

In Budapest, our Technology hub currently employs near 200 – and growing number – of highly trained software engineers and product managers who are implementing global software development projects across fulfilment, pricing, supplier management, online and in-store loss prevention, and our online grocery sites.

Our teams consist of individuals who can truly make a difference. Focusing on building a world-class business services centre alongside cutting edge technology capability, they are working towards our goal of serving our customers and colleagues a little better every day. We are expanding our operations locally and we are looking for the best talent. Let’s shape the retail technology landscape together!

Currently, at Tesco Technology we work in a hybrid model. We love working from home, but we also love connecting, collaborating, and innovating with our colleagues in person. We meet in our office in Budapest for 3 days a week.
