Technology Product
We want our customers to be inspired, and we’re finding bigger and better ways to provide it, using technology to drive innovation and deliver our vision to become the world’s leading retailer. You’ll be the voice of our customers from day one, solving problems, defining product roadmaps and building products that could affect millions of people across the world for years to come.
You’ll quickly discover that the variety of products we build, and the scale at which we deliver, is immense. You could be redesigning the grocery home shopping website to improve customer satisfaction or making sure our 125,000 daily deliveries to customers arrive on time, with the right products available for our customers on the shelf.
During your 10-week paid summer programme, you’ll gain lots of experience in the day-to-day role of a Product Manager. From holding workshops with stakeholders, writing user stories, or getting feedback from customers and data analysis, you’ll prioritise development with evidence-based decisions to maximise value for our customers. You'll be part of a cross-functional team of software engineers, designers and analysts, and work closely with business partners to ensure alignment to strategic goals. Our product management teams work across our London and Welwyn offices with the possibility of a placement in either location.
A successful internship with us can guarantee your place on our Technology Product Graduate Programme when you graduate - before you’ve even started your final year of study.
Who we are looking for
We’re looking for interns with a curious, creative mind, who love solving problems. You’ll need a passion for technology, an analytical mind and be comfortable translating product vision into detailed engineering requirements. You'll be working with colleagues across technology to bring your solutions to life. Communication skills are essential to gain support for your ideas and understand the wider business context.
What’s a Product Manager?
A Product Manager translates customer problems into technology product development, working with software engineers and contributing to the product roadmap and vision.

Working at our Welwyn Garden City campus
Our leafy, green campus is 10 minutes' walk from the centre of Welwyn Garden City with its many shops, restaurants, pubs and sports facilities. Close to the A1, and with frequent trains running to Finsbury Park in just 20 minutes (free shuttle buses take you between the station and office), the campus is well connected to the surrounding area.
On campus, you'll find subsidised restaurants and coffee shops, as well as a Tesco Express to pick up your lunch or last-minute essentials. We also have our Heart Building, a place where colleagues can connect and come together, to unlock innovation and collaboration and a place where they can network and socialise. Plus we have an on-site Nuffield Health gym, which has state-of-the-art equipment, studios for classes, plus treatment rooms (membership costs £23.50 per month).
Your experience with us
Welcome
We’ll kick off with you spending some time learning more about our business and your programme. It’s a great opportunity for you to meet other interns and make some new connections. We’ll then introduce you to your team, so you can get to know more about your role and the area you’ll be working in.
Programme structure
You'll start off by spending some time in store, where you'll get involved in what our colleagues do everyday to serve our customers and communities. You’ll then join your team to gain real-life experience in Technology as well as network, learn and develop your skills with other interns and colleagues throughout your programme.
Where next?
Throughout your internship, you’ll be encouraged to develop skills and gain experience that will support you in your future career. You’ll also receive valuable feedback on how you’ve performed during your 10 weeks to help understand your strengths and areas to develop further.
