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 your team’s talent, ensuring there’s a pipeline of motivated and capable individuals ready to move into management roles and beyond.
5S ONLY
You may be managing two stores simultaneously — dividing your time effectively between them and staying on top of what’s happening in both locations.
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, motivating your teams, and being a visible leader on the shop floor.
Your starting point will be the valuable data generated daily — analysing trends, translating insights into actionable activities, and prioritising those that add the most value to your store’s performance. To operate at your best, you’ll be equipped with the latest technology, including handheld devices, allowing you to stay mobile and effective without being tied to a desk.
How you’ll progress
This role provides valuable experience to advance into senior management roles within larger Sainsbury’s stores, if that’s your goal. With a broad network of stores of various sizes, there are ample opportunities for growth. Show us what you can do, and we’ll support your development every step of the way.
