Deputy Store Manager

at  Sainsburys

WHO YOU ARE

We’re flexible about your career trajectory. Maybe you’re already leading a team with one of our competitors. Or perhaps you’re running a smaller operation, like a convenience store. Either way, you’re almost certainly at the point where you’re looking for the right step forward towards a Store Manager role of your own.
What matters most is you – we don’t expect you to have all the answers from day one, but want to see that you’re motivated to develop, dedicated to bringing out the best in others and, like all of us, passionate about customer service. After all, that’s what our stores are all about.
Tech skills are high on our list – we see ourselves as ahead of the curve (and the competition) when it comes to using data and digital apps to improve our in-store experience. You’ll need to be flexible too – essentially your job is to support and cover for the Store Manager, so your hours will often need to fit around theirs.

Our purpose is that driven by our passion for food, together we serve and help every customer.
Being the Deputy Store Manager in one of our larger, more complex stores means just that – leading the store in the Store Manager’s absence. You’ll be a visible leader on the shop floor, building trust and ensuring an inclusive culture.
Your focus will be on store operations, steering your Lead Manager to solve the day-to-day issues, driving and improving store performance across a shift whilst also looking forward across the next few months using data and insights to identify priorities for achieving our Retail and Digital outcomes.
