We have 4 Procurement Buyer roles available, across multiple tech categories. You'll come into an office in London, Coventry or Manchester twice a month on average, with the rest of your time working from home. You'll play a crucial role in supporting the development and execution of commercial sourcing strategies to deliver value for the business.
You will collaborate with various functions to source technology services and products that align with Sainsbury's agendas, leading multiple commercial tenders and negotiations while ensuring compliance with Sainsbury's Procurement Policy. You'll develop complex commercial strategies, conduct supplier appraisal and selection, and provide analytical support across category areas, ultimately taking ownership of the end-to-end procurement lifecycle.
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.
