Job description

You'll work closely with our Senior Spatial Analyst (your manager) and our Senior Spatial Data Science Engineer to develop, maintain and monitor the data, tools and apps our planners rely on. You'll build new products in ArcGIS, Tableau, Alteryx and Excel that improve location insight and support decision making. You'll also look after our in-house apps, macros, ESRI service layers and enterprise GIS platform. When something needs fixing, you'll be the go‑to person, troubleshooting technical issues and handling data requests from colleagues across Sainsbury's.,
You understand spatial data and the complexities of handling it, and you have working knowledge of GIS systems, ideally ESRI products. You're numerate and logical, you enjoy solving problems and using data to support decisions, and you're comfortable working on your own: planning your workload, managing projects and meeting deadlines. Experience with Alteryx, Tableau, SQL, Snowflake, VBA, Python or GitHub would be a real plus, but we'll provide training. Retail experience and confidence presenting to stakeholder groups would be an advantage.,

• Demonstrable working knowledge of GIS systems (ideally ESRI products such as ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online/Enterprise), including evidence of handling and managing spatial data.
• Evidence of using data, analysis or visualisation to solve problems and support decision-making.
• Proven ability to plan, prioritise and deliver your own projects and workload to agreed deadlines.
• Demonstrable experience creating clear documentation, supporting materials or training that help others use data, tools or products.

We are committed to being a truly inclusive retailer, so you'll be welcomed whoever you are and wherever you work. Around here, there's always the chance to try something new - whether that's as part of an evolving team or somewhere else across the business - and we take development seriously and promise to support you. We also recognise and celebrate colleagues when they go the extra mile and, where possible, offer flexible working. When you join our team, we'll also offer you an amazing range of benefits.

Here are some of them

We'd all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That's waiting for you at Sainsbury's. For a FTSE business, we move incredibly fast. When we're not handling projects, we're helping all corners of the wider group with what they're trying to achieve. And around here, you can see the results of your work as soon as you walk into a store, which gives you a real sense of purpose and responsibility. Better still, the team around you will listen to your ideas and opinions, and you'll have every chance to try something new. The sheer scale and complexity of our set-up means there's always something else around the corner, and we'll help and support you every step of the way. We're trusted to get on with it. So get ready to make things happen here.

• Starting off with colleague discount, you'll be able to get 10% off at Sainsbury's, Argos, TU and Habitat after 4 weeks.
• This increases to 15% off at Sainsbury's every Friday and Saturday and 15% off at Argos every pay day.
• We've also got you covered for your future with our pensions scheme and life cover.
• You'll also be able to share in our success as you may be eligible for a performance‑related bonus of up to 10% of salary, depending on how we perform.
• Your wellbeing is important to us too.
• You'll receive an annual holiday allowance, and you can buy additional holiday.
• We also offer other benefits that will help your money go further such as season ticket loans, cycle to work scheme, health cash plans, pay advance (where you can access some of your pay before pay day) as well access to a great range of discounts from hundreds of other retailers.
• And if you ever need it there is also an employee assistance programme.
• Moments that matter are as important to us as they are to you which is why we give up to 26 weeks' pay for maternity or adoption leave and up to 4 weeks' pay for paternity leave.
