Additionally, you will conduct competitor shop reports and provide feedback to the team. Your strong numerical skills, proficiency in Excel and Word, great stakeholder management, excellent administrative and organisational abilities, and interest in commerciality will contribute to your success in this role. You should also be adaptable to fast-changing environments and stay knowledgeable about market trends, the competitor landscape, and our target customers. At Sainsbury's, we value work-life balance and offer flexibility and trust in how, where, and when you work, ensuring you have plenty of time and space for life outside of work while still achieving our business goals.

Your strong numerical skills and ability to analyse and interpret data allow you to effectively review competitor pricing, maintain data integrity, and contribute to maintaining our competitive position in the market. With your proficiency in Excel and Word, you ensure accurate and timely completion of tasks, adhering to buying milestones within critical paths to ensure on-time launches. Your excellent stakeholder management, organisational ability, and adaptability in fast-changing environments enable you to effectively liaise with suppliers, chase samples, and provide valuable support to the team.
