Why join us

Joining Sainsbury's Tech means being part of a 150-year-old retail chain that is undergoing a transformative journey towards embracing innovation and agility. As a Tech professional, you have the unique opportunity to contribute to driving change and pushing boundaries, as we invest in creating amazing systems and technologies. With a wealth of expertise to learn from and access to vast amounts of data from billions of transactions, you will be part of a dynamic environment where things are built, made, and implemented quickly. Your work will directly impact both our colleagues and customers, creating incredible experiences and shaping the future of retail technology. Welcome to the home of Sainsbury's Tech, where you can be part of our collective journey and make a meaningful difference.

What you'll do

As Product Managers, we're listening to and acting on what our colleagues and customers want, bringing business stakeholders and engineering teams together to solve challenges and create new business capabilities, whilst keeping abreast of new technology to provide vision and direction.

You’ll join our team working to enhance our existing Warehouse Management Systems and Labour Performance System, that are critical for running our business every day. The Warehouse Management and Labour Performance Systems are integrated via our in-house built Logistics Service Platform that interconnects with the rest of our estate of technology solutions, including Supply Chain, Retail, Commercial and Finance. In addition, integrating between a diverse range of in-house built apps and third-party solutions within the Logistics division itself. You’ll be empowering our colleagues by helping to deliver modern, capable and reliable systems that are a delight to use, as well as enabling transformation within the Logistics division at a pace like never before.

To join us, you’ll be bold, curious, resilient and empathetic. You’ll be able to connect and build great relationships with both internal and external stakeholders. What’s more, you’re comfortable with making decisions, challenging assumptions and taking risks.

Your responsibilities will include working closely with software engineering teams, providing clear communication, prioritisation and focused objectives. An understanding of Agile ways of working and warehouse processes will be valuable. Strong organisational and prioritisation skills, collating stakeholder requirements, as well as the ability to analyse and solve problems logically, will help you thrive in this role. In return, you'll enjoy benefits like colleague discounts, holiday allowance, bonuses, pension plan, and access to special offers. We promote flexible working and job share arrangements, and we're committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture.
