Tesco Bank has revealed it plans to create 120 technology roles across its Edinburgh and Newcastle offices, as part of a wider investment in customer-centric solutions that will help better meet the needs of Tesco shoppers.

The roles the bank is recruiting for include: test, software and systems engineers, systems architects, solution designers, project managers and IT and business analysts.

It is envisaged that 100 of the new roles will be based in Edinburgh and 20 in Newcastle. This is in addition to the 20 roles created when Tesco Bank announced Newcastle as the home for a new technology hub in November 2019.

As well as what the bank describes as competitive salaries, there are said to be a wide range of benefits on offer to successful candidates, including the chance to work flexibly to suit lifestyles and a range of discounts in Tesco stores. Development opportunities will also be available once in role, according the the banks recruiters.

David Bowerman, COO, Tesco Bank, commented: “It’s an exciting time at Tesco Bank as we invest to develop propositions which better meet the needs of Tesco shoppers.
