About the role

Technical Programme Managers (TPMs) deliver complex, cross-functional technology programmes that support colleagues and help serve our customers better. In this role, you will operate as a Cyber Programme Manager, leading the delivery of Tesco’s Security Engagement & Culture portfolio.

You will work closely with behavioural specialists, learning and communications teams, cyber security leaders, and business stakeholders to turn security strategy into measurable sustainable behaviour change.

This role requires hands-on experience managing cyber or risk-related delivery, operating confidently across technical and non-technical audiences, and shaping programmes where outcomes are behavioural, not just technical.
