Food Operations Manager

3 weeks ago


Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom Sainsbury's Full time
About the Role

This is a well-balanced management position with clear accountability, where you'll understand exactly what's expected of you and who to turn to for support. As a Food Manager at Sainsbury's, you'll be responsible for operational in-store management, ensuring that your area is running smoothly, day in, day out.

Key Responsibilities

Manage a medium to large in-store team, assigning tasks and planning breaks, creating rotas, addressing performance issues both sensitively and effectively, and helping with recruitment.

Be a visible leader on the shop floor, a role model who drives training and creates a team where everyone feels welcome, and colleagues feel safe to challenge the way things are done.

What Success Looks Like

You're supporting the Lead Food Manager to deliver improved customer and retail outcomes in your area.

You'll work closely with another Food Manager, sharing ideas and identifying ways to improve things, and provide a brilliant handover from each shift to the next.

You're confident being direct with your team - you're giving honest feedback, early and often.

You've learned how to help your team to put themselves in the customers' shoes, taking genuine pride in how we deliver a better service.

About You

We're open-minded about your career trajectory. You're probably already managing or supervising people in a similarly fast-paced setting and confident to deal with the many different challenges each day throws up - your team are depending on you.

You'll need to share Sainsbury's love of technology. We're ahead of the curve here - we do as much as we can digitally - from stock management to rotas.

What Matters Most

What matters most is you - 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.

Where Next?

The Sainsbury's in-store management structure is designed precisely to help people like you to progress, and where everyone has the support and the opportunity to deliver excellence. When joining us, you will receive a clear induction and orientation alongside a training plan specific to your needs that you'll build alongside your manager. They will support and coach you to deliver great performance, whilst having plenty of time to develop.

As a Food Manager, you could move into a Lead Manager role in Food, In-store Customer Experience, Clothing or General Merchandise. Looking further ahead, it's great preparation for a Store Management role or a leadership challenge across the Sainsbury's family: Habitat, Tu, Argos, Sainsbury's Bank and Nectar 360. Trust us - we know how to make the most of your potential.
