**Milton Keynes and Home**

**Take everything you think you know about Sainsbury’s, and think again**

Really. We’re still the place that’s been around forever, and where you or your mates do the big shop every week. But we’re so, so much more than that. Because we’re not going anywhere, we’re better equipped to push boundaries and give people like you a lot more freedom to take risks. You can take on a big job and run with it. You can challenge the norm. You can try new things at scale and set yourself up for all sorts of career moves. Yet you’ll be surrounded by nice people at every step. You’ll be trusted, and you’ll belong. Does that sound like an average supermarket to you?

**Why join us**

Everything we’ve already said, and more. There’s such breadth and scope here that you can afford to be curious. You’ll effectively be owning a business unit, having real autonomy and becoming more rounded as a result. It’s your chance to make big decisions and get involved with things that might have been outside your job description before. As importantly, we operate differently. If you don’t need to work in the office, don’t. If you want to work in stores or depots to get closer to the customer, feel free. And when there are other calls on your time, you can flex your day and work at home. We’re all about internal promotions too, so look forward to even bigger challenges sooner than you think.

**What you’ll be doing**

You’ll translate and execute the category strategy for a given product range/series to deliver profitable growth and own the delivery of agreed KPIs. Buying OB and Branded ranges, you’ll trade a customer-focused proposition through your team and build relationships with key internal and external stakeholders at a senior level. Throughout, you’ll have a firm focus on the customer and encourage others to do the same.

When you’re not supporting the Senior Buyer and Head of Buying, you’ll work closely with Product design and Global sourcing on cost-effective sourcing routes. You’ll also manage Assistant Buyers and Buying Admin Assistants and look to bring out the best in them.

**Who you are**

You’ll have commercial awareness and buying experience, ideally in a digitally led business, and be keen to be more involved in project management. You should know all about systems and processes in a complex multi-channel environment and have a good grasp of the legal side. Financially astute, agile and happy under pressure, you’ll also be able to identify market opportunities and influence people at all levels. Drive and motivation will be key, of course, and there’s more than enough room for your initiative.

Beyond that, just be who you are. This is an amazingly inclusive business where trust and respect are a given. We welcome different opinions and different views. We have colleague networks which simply don’t exist in similar organisations. And and people don’t just come here because of the culture — they come back because of it after a move.

**What you could do in future**

Development and progression don’t have to be linear. Feel free to move up or across, play to your strengths, see what you find the most rewarding and learn everything you can. There’ll be no limit to growth here at all — not this year, not five years from now — so do things differently, just like us.

**In return**

You’ll enjoy all this and more:

- Colleague discount across our brands - Sainsbury’s, Argos and Habitat
- Holiday allowance
- Bonus scheme
- Pension plan
- Special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers and more
- Flexible working
