We'd all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That's waiting for you at Sainsbury's. Think about the scale it takes for us to feed the nation.

As a Senior Product Manager, you will work closely with a variety of technology, analytics, reporting and marketing teams to advance several core strategic initiatives by building data products that improve our customer understanding, enhance our customer experience, increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our Marketing campaigns, and enable data monetisation.
