The big question is. why on earth should a professional like you work for a 150-year-old retail chain?

Because we are on a journey. Changing the way we operate. Learning to think nimble. Giving our teams the time and freedom they need to push boundaries. To create amazing systems and technologies and to give our colleagues and our customers even more incredible experiences.

There are thousands of experts to talk to and learn from. We’ve got data from billions of transactions for our teams to play with. Things get built here. They get made here and they hit customers and colleagues quickly.

The Supplier Relationship Management Lead will provide organised and comprehensive support to the Supplier Relationship Manager (Technology) and SRM team to deliver the supplier governance (managing and co-ordinating multiple diaries), process and controls that support our strategic technology partners underpinned by our digital SRM platform and framework.

The focus of the role is to work with the SRMs to support the effective management of our partners contracts, optimising, and driving value and building our engagement and ways of working via our Supplier Events (scheduling these and other appointments and events), Learning Directory, Partner Innovation Hub, and Centre of Excellence.

You will develop strong relationships with internal Sainsbury’s Tech and Business stakeholders and Technology Suppliers, this is key in supporting the SRM team to ensure our suppliers are performing to requirements and expectations as well as identifying where Sainsburys Business Services can add value to the business.

This role will see you develop to become a key contact for Sainsburys tech working with our Platinum, Gold, and Silver partners.

Work-life balance is important to us, so we offer our colleagues as much flexibility as possible in line with the needs of their role. We trust them to decide how, where and when they work, combining remote and collaborative working with a flexible approach to hours, giving them plenty of time and space for life outside of work whilst delivering against our business goals.
