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, 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 like clockwork.

You’ll need to make sure everything is safe and legal for customers and staff. You’ll also develop all the talent in your teams, making sure that there’s a pipeline of people who are motivated and equipped to move into management roles and beyond.

5S ONLY You could even be covering two worlds at once — as Store Manager in two of our convenience stores. That will mean 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 group of people to deliver even better experiences for our customers. You can also seek out and solve problems effectively by being out there on the shop floor, motivating your teams and being a properly visible boss.

Your starting point will be the valuable data we generate every day - analysing trends and translating it into actionable activities, and identifying which ones are of most value to the business you’re running. And to ensure you can operate at your best, you’ll have the best tech including handheld devices, which mean you’re never stuck at a desk or behind a screen, you’re equipped to be mobile and effective.

How you’ll progress

This role will give you the experience you need to move up into senior management in a larger Sainsbury’s store, if that’s what you aspire to. The Sainsbury’s network means there’s plenty of room in your area, and stores of all sizes, so just show us what you can do and we’ll support you in every way we can.

What we’ll give you

We guarantee you’ll have lots of opportunities to develop your career. And that’s not all.

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 store managers, including:

• 5S ONLY Private Healthcare – Eligible for single cover and to upgrade annually to family cover.
  
• 5S ONLY Interest free car loan of up to £10,000.
  
• An annual bonus scheme based on our, and your, performance.
  
• 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 and 15% off at Argos every pay day.
  
• Generous holiday entitlement, maternity and paternity leave.
  
• Pension – we’ll match 4-7.5% of your pension contributions.
  
• Sainsbury’s share scheme – build up an investment at discounted prices.
  
• Wellbeing support – access to emotional support, counselling, legal and financial advice.
  
• Colleague networks – link with like-minded people to help fulfil your potential.
  
• Cycle to Work scheme – hire a new bike and cycling equipment, whilst saving on tax and NI.
  
• Special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers and more.
