The Senior Cyber Incident Manager leads Tesco’s response to significant cyber security incidents, coordinating detection, containment, investigation, recovery and post-incident improvements. The role typically requires strong experience in cyber incident response, security operations, major incident management and risk-based decision-making, together with knowledge of frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001 or ITIL. Familiarity with SIEM, EDR, threat intelligence, cloud environments and digital forensics is valuable. Candidates are expected to remain calm during high-pressure events, communicate clearly with technical and senior business stakeholders, manage response teams and external partners, and provide accurate incident reporting. Experience building playbooks, running exercises and improving organisational resilience would also be expected.
Tesco is one of the United Kingdom’s largest retailers, operating supermarkets, convenience stores and online grocery services, alongside businesses such as Tesco Bank and mobile services. Founded in 1919, the company serves millions of customers each week and employs a large workforce across the UK and other markets. Tesco’s operations depend heavily on digital platforms, customer data, payment systems, supply-chain technology and online shopping, making cyber security a strategically important function. The company promotes customer focus, teamwork, inclusivity and responsible business practices. Its technology teams support large-scale retail systems and use modern cloud, data and security capabilities. Employees may receive benefits such as colleague discounts, pension contributions, wellbeing support, flexible working arrangements and performance-related rewards, although specific terms depend on the position, location and employment contract.
The United Kingdom is an island nation comprising England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with strong opportunities in technology, cyber security, finance, healthcare, retail and engineering. London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, Edinburgh and Belfast are major employment centres, though housing and commuting costs vary considerably. British culture generally values punctuality, personal privacy, queueing, humour and a healthy separation between work and personal life. Lifestyle options range from busy cities and diverse communities to quiet rural areas, coastlines and national parks. International applicants normally need the right to work; eligible sponsored roles may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa, subject to salary, occupation and employer sponsorship requirements. Applicants should check current rules on GOV.UK because salary thresholds and eligible occupations change. Relocating involves arranging accommodation, a National Insurance number, banking, healthcare registration and tax matters. Public transport is extensive in cities, while a car is often useful in rural areas.
