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, 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 the store’s performance. You’ll be a visible and accountable leader—finding, solving, and anticipating issues now and six months from now, so everything runs smoothly.

You’ll need to ensure everything is safe and legal for customers and staff. You’ll also develop talent within your teams, ensuring a pipeline of motivated individuals ready to move into management roles and beyond.

5S ONLY

You may even be managing two stores simultaneously, dividing your time between them and staying on top of operations in both.

Who you are

You can lead and inspire a large team to deliver excellent customer experiences. You are proactive in seeking out and solving problems by being present on the shop floor, motivating your teams, and being a visible leader.

Your starting point will be the valuable data generated daily—analyzing trends, translating insights into actionable activities, and prioritizing those of most value. To operate at your best, you’ll have access to the latest technology, including handheld devices, enabling you to stay mobile and effective.

How you’ll progress

This role provides experience to advance into senior management within larger Sainsbury’s stores, if that’s your goal. With a broad 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 and a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• Private Healthcare—eligible for single cover, with an option to upgrade to family cover annually.
• Interest-free car loan of up to £10,000.
• 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 pension contributions.
• Sainsbury’s share scheme—investment opportunities at discounted prices.
• Wellbeing support—emotional support, counseling, legal, and financial advice.
• Colleague networks to connect with like-minded colleagues.
• Cycle to Work scheme—hire a bike and equipment, saving on tax and NI.
• Special offers on gym memberships, holidays, retail vouchers, and more.
