What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll create and lead a high-performing team and act as a true role model by seeing everything from the customer’s point of view. In that way, you’ll inspire, motivate and empower everybody around you. Your focus on the business itself will be just as strong. You’ll have total accountability for the store – driving performance, plans and actions; celebrating success and making sure that your teams are trained and developed to be the best that they can be. You'll be supporting nearby stores within the local area, so the ability to travel between locations is important. Holding a full UK driving licence would be advantageous.

Who You Are

A strong retail operator and inspiring people leader who thrives on delivering great results, building high-performing teams, and making a meaningful impact for colleagues, customers and the local community. Your planning and organising skills will be key. Each of our stores play an important role in serving its local community and delivering an outstanding customer experience. Every day, you’ll use your commercial acumen and creative approach to change.

Essential Criteria

• Relentless in your pursuit of better customer experiences, you'll evidence how you've changed things for the better for customers in a previous role.
• You’ve managed a fast-paced operation, delivering results across service, sales, customer outcomes and team performance.
• You use insight to make smart decisions that improve performance and customer experiences.
• You’re confident navigating employee relations and apply HR policies with consistency and care.
• You’ve developed and supported performance and capability within a team, helping others step up and succeed.
• You know how to lead through change — keeping your team motivated and focused.
• You walk the talk — showing up every day as a role model for service and values.

What We’ll Give You

Salary will be dependent upon your experience as well as the store size, complexity and location. Alongside this, we also offer a great range of benefits for our managers, including:

• Discount card – 10% discount off on your shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu and Habitat after four weeks. This increases to 15% discount off at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday.

• Wellbeing support – access to emotional support, counselling, legal and financial advice
• Colleague networks – link with like-minded people to help fulfil your potential.
