What success looks like

You'll balance regional scale with local shopper needs while managing growth, profitability and trade investment. Over the next 12 to 18 months, the team will continue its growth journey, refine its new structure and develop together. You'll work closely with Tesco Central Europe buying and merchandise planning, LEGO sales, operations, demand planning, brand and trade marketing, retail customer development, field sales and regional colleagues.
