Customer and Trading Manager Opportunity

Sainsbury's is committed to helping you develop an exciting retail management career. Our convenience stores provide the perfect platform for you to gain all the skills needed – and more.

You will be responsible for everything that happens in-store during your shift, with great training giving you the confidence to lead your team, plan resources effectively, and ensure customers are always satisfied. Our purpose is driven by our passion for food, and together we serve and help every customer.

You will run the shift during the day, managing your team's performance and time, demonstrating a decisive, organised, and inclusive approach. Reporting into the Store Manager, you and the small team of other managers will be planning ahead, including shift patterns, product availability, and busy times throughout the day, so that essential products are available for our customers and everything runs smoothly.

This is a great way to start your management career in retail or develop your existing skills and make them first-class.

The salary will be dependent on your experience, as well as the store size, complexity, and location.
