Job description

To be a great Store Manager at one of our convenience stores, you don’t necessarily need retail experience. Surprised? If you’re a leader who can inspire your team to delight customers every day, by analysing reports and data and transforming that insight into actionable improvements that your team understand and can get behind, then you’ll flourish in this role.

What you’ll be doing

While your team of Customer and Trading Managers will run the shifts and manage the day-to-day operations, you’ll have ultimate control of how the store performs. You’ll be a visible and accountable leader — finding, solving, and anticipating issues now and six months from now, so that everything runs smoothly.

You’ll need to ensure everything is safe and legal for customers and staff. You’ll also develop all the talent in your teams, making sure there’s a pipeline of motivated and capable individuals ready to move into management roles and beyond.

5S ONLY

You might even manage two stores simultaneously — dividing your time between them and staying on top of what’s happening in both.

Who you are

You can lead and inspire a large team to deliver exceptional customer experiences. You’re proactive on the shop floor, motivating your teams and being a visible leader.

Your starting point will be the valuable data we generate daily — analysing trends, translating them into actionable activities, and prioritising those that offer the most value. To operate effectively, you’ll have access to the best technology, including handheld devices, enabling you to stay mobile and responsive.

How you’ll progress

This role provides valuable experience to advance into senior management roles within larger Sainsbury’s stores. With our extensive network of stores of various sizes, there’s ample opportunity for growth. Show us what you can do, and we’ll support your development.

What we’ll give you

We offer numerous opportunities for career development, along with competitive compensation based on your experience, store size, complexity, and location. Our benefits include:

• Private Healthcare — eligible for single cover, with options to upgrade to family cover annually.
• Interest-free car loan of up to £10,000.
• An annual bonus scheme based on performance.
• 10% discount at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks, increasing to 15% on Fridays and Saturdays at Sainsbury’s and every payday at Argos.
• Generous holiday entitlement, maternity, and paternity leave.
• Matching 4-7.5% of your pension contributions.
• Sainsbury’s share scheme — discounted investment opportunities.
• Wellbeing support including emotional, legal, and financial advice.
• Colleague networks to support your growth.
• Cycle to Work scheme for bikes and accessories.
• Special offers on gym memberships, holidays, retail vouchers, and more.
