Our People

"Developing Product Owner skills showed me how small changes can create real impact."

"I worked in talent acquisition for over six years, mainly focusing on technology and business change recruitment, before joining the Tesco Bank Talent Acquisition team in 2021.

During this time, I was involved in implementing our new Applicant Tracking System. This gave me valuable exposure to Agile ways of working and the opportunity to help shape the platform to improve the experience for colleagues and candidates.

Through the project, I began developing Product Owner skills. I supported my learning through LinkedIn Learning courses and by connecting with colleagues already working in Product Owner roles, alongside guidance from our Head of Customer Experience. I was then successful moving into a Product Owner role in one of our Product Management teams."

Matt, Product Owner
