Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

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 over the store’s performance. You’ll be a visible and accountable leader — identifying, solving, and anticipating issues now and in the future, ensuring everything runs smoothly.

You’ll need to ensure all safety and legal standards are met for customers and staff. Additionally, you will develop talent within your teams, ensuring a pipeline of motivated and capable individuals ready to move into management roles and beyond.

5S ONLY

You might also manage two stores simultaneously — dividing your time between them and staying informed about each location’s happenings.

Who you are

You can lead and inspire large teams to deliver exceptional customer experiences. You are proactive in seeking out and solving problems, motivating your teams, and maintaining a visible presence on the shop floor.

Your starting point will be the valuable data we generate daily — analyzing trends, translating insights into actionable activities, and prioritizing those that add the most value to your store. To operate at your best, you’ll have access to the latest technology, including handheld devices, allowing you to stay mobile and effective without being tied to a desk or screen.

How you’ll progress

This role provides the experience needed to advance into senior management within a larger Sainsbury’s store, should that be your goal. Our extensive network offers opportunities across various store sizes and locations; demonstrate your capabilities, and we’ll support your growth.

What we’ll give you

We offer numerous opportunities for career development and a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• 5S ONLY Private Healthcare – available for single coverage with an annual upgrade option for family coverage.
• Interest-free car loan up to £10,000.
• An annual bonus scheme based on performance.
• Discount card – 10% off shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks, increasing to 15% at Sainsbury’s on Fridays and Saturdays, and 15% off at Argos on paydays.
• Generous holiday entitlement, maternity, and paternity leave.
• Pension scheme – company matches 4-7.5% of your contributions.
• Sainsbury’s share scheme – opportunities to build investment at discounted prices.
• Wellbeing support – access to emotional support, counseling, legal, and financial advice.
• Colleague networks – connect with like-minded individuals to support your potential.
• Cycle to Work scheme – hire a bike and equipment while saving on tax and NI.
• Special offers on gym memberships, dining, holidays, retail vouchers, and more.
