About the role

At Tesco, we believe in the power of spending more time together, face to face, than apart. During your working week, you can expect to spend 60% of your time in one of our office locations or local sites and the rest remotely. We also recognize that life looks a little different for each of us. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love, and others are going through life-changing moments. That’s why at Tesco, we always welcome a conversation about flexible working. Talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.

This is a fixed term contract for 12 months.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Finance Manager to play a crucial role in the delivery of our program to shape, develop, and embed our ESG reporting process strategy and our risk and control framework across our core ESG processes.

Passionate about sustainability and process & control improvement, this role will work closely with the different ESG and Finance teams to understand, document, and assess data flows, risks, and controls in the production of ESG information. You will help ensure data reliability in the context of increasing regulation and enhanced attention from internal and external stakeholders. The role will also be the point of contact with our external auditors for queries on the assigned ESG processes.

This is a project-based role, supporting our readiness for new regulation, with two core components: mapping the end-to-end processes for multiple ESG KPIs and data points. The role will have exposure to various ESG and Finance areas, such as Environment, Sustainability, People and Communities teams, Investor Relations, Group Communications, Treasury, and Finance Controls.

You will be responsible for

Partnering with the business to review and document the end-to-end ESG core processes for capturing, calculating, producing, and reporting ESG-related information (KPIs and other data) across different business units.

Identifying and assessing reporting risks and likely sources of misstatement for key ESG processes, and the controls in place to mitigate those risks.

Identifying potential control gaps, discussing them with the business, and agreeing on remedial actions.

Testing the design and the operation of the controls, and of the remediated control gaps, according to the Tesco testing methodology and reporting on the results.

Promoting process and control standardization and efficiency across business units.

Liaising with internal and external auditors on queries and requests regarding the processes reviewed by the role.

Working closely with the Finance Change and technology team who will use your work as the basis for improving or automating the production of ESG reporting.

You will need

Core understanding of business processes and associated risks and controls.

Practical experience of internal controls (either in control design, implementation, and testing).

Knowledge of ESG issues is desirable: key topics, regulatory landscape, standards, etc.

Knowledge of Reporting and Corporate Governance.

Strong communication skills to include report writing, presentation, influencing, and relational skills.
