Posted 2 days 15 hours ago by Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd
Location: Bedford Place Local Store, Southampton, SO15 2DB

To be a great Store Manager at one of our convenience stores, you don't necessarily need retail experience. If you're a leader who can inspire your team to delight customers every day, by analysing reports and data and transforming that insight into actionable improvements that your team understands and can get behind, then you'll flourish in this role.
What you'll be doing
While your team of Customer and Trading Managers will run the shifts and manage the day-to-day, you'll have ultimate control of how the store performs. You'll be a visible and accountable leader - finding, solving and anticipating issues so that everything runs like clockwork.
You'll need to ensure everything is safe and legal for customers and staff. You'll also develop talent in your teams, ensuring that there's a pipeline of motivated individuals equipped to move into management roles and beyond.
Who you are
You can lead and inspire a large group of people to deliver better experiences for our customers. You can also seek out and solve problems effectively by being out there on the shop floor, motivating your teams and being a visible boss.
Your starting point will be the valuable data we generate every day - analysing trends and translating it into actionable activities, identifying which ones are of most value to the business you're running. You'll have the best tech including handheld devices, meaning you're equipped to be mobile and effective.
How you'll progress
This role will give you the experience needed to move up into senior management in a larger Sainsbury's store, if that's your aspiration. The Sainsbury's network means there's plenty of room in your area, and stores of all sizes, so just show us what you can do and we'll support you.
