PM – F&F Planning Apps

Job Description

hackajob is collaborating with Tesco to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role

• PM – F&F Planning Apps

Role Summary

This role supports the expansion of the F&F technology team and backfills the current PM as they move into a newly created role. It focuses on the apps and back‑end systems that underpin F&F’s planning, buying, and product lifecycle processes.The PM will work across a highly interconnected ecosystem where changes in one area can impact multiple others. This requires someone who is comfortable navigating complexity, collaborating across product teams, and driving clarity in a tangled landscape.

What Makes This Role Distinct

• Highly interconnected systems: nothing exists in isolation; every change has downstream impact
• Greater autonomy than the MyProduct Range role — fewer programme structures around it today
• Deep domain complexity: planning, buying, branching, ordering, and product lifecycle flows
• Ideal for a PM who thrives in ambiguity, can self‑start, and can shape direction independently

Core Responsibilities

• Own the product strategy for F&F Planning Apps, spanning both apps and back‑end systems
• Develop a clear understanding of today’s complex landscape and define the future‑state vision
• Work closely with other product teams to manage dependencies and avoid system breakage
• Drive alignment across teams where processes and systems are tightly intertwined
• Lead discovery, prioritisation, and roadmap creation with a high degree of autonomy
• Partner with engineering to ensure solutions are scalable, stable, and aligned to long‑term goals

Experience & Skills Needed

• Strong PM experience in complex, multi‑system environments — ideally with back‑end exposure
• Ability to understand and work with big data, complex data flows, and legacy systems
• Comfortable operating with less programme structure and driving progress independently
• Excellent collaboration skills — this role interacts with many product teams
• Strong strategic thinking: able to map today’s reality and chart a path to the future

Nice to Have

• Experience in clothing, fashion, or retail product lifecycle — helpful but not essential
• Understanding of end‑to‑end retail flows: product development → branching → buying → ordering
• Experience in environments where apps and back‑end systems are tightly coupled
