Leading in our stores:

Our management teams don’t just run stores - they’re the driving force behind our business. With bold leadership, a passion for service and an eye for opportunity, they empower teams to raise the bar every single day for our customers. Whether it's product availability, safety standards, or delivering seamless daily operations, they’re hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up changemakers. And the impact? Work becomes more rewarding for our colleagues, and shopping becomes a next-level experience for every customer who walks through our doors. This is how we bring our purpose to life, one powerful action at a time.

What you’ll be doing:

Taking responsibility for the overall customer experience across the store from the checkout to back of house ensuring we deliver on our customer commitments
Managing the front-end checkout operation, ensuring all our customers are served in line with our expectations
Managing operations in our petrol station (If your shop has one)
People management is a big part of the role, managing performance and capability, conducting disciplinaries and ensuring scheduling and pay are accurate.
At times you may assume overall responsibility for running the store, making sure that all colleagues are given direction and support to deliver for the customer.

What makes a great customer experience manager:

Previous line management responsibilities in a fast-paced, operational environment.
Someone who is truly obsessed with customers and service, and coaches a team to do the same.
Delivers KPI's or other performance indicators.
Can manage disciplinaries, performance issues or other similar employee relations issues.
Leads operations and comfortable doing this alone in the absence of more senior management.

Essential Criteria:

A track record of delivering exceptional customer experiences, with evidence of coaching others to consistently raise the bar.
Experience leading teams in a dynamic, customer-facing environment — you’ve inspired others, driven high performance, and created a culture where colleagues thrive.
Leadership experience in a high-volume, fast-paced operational setting — whether in retail, food service, or hospitality — where you’ve overseen daily operations, solved business problems, and kept teams focused on what matters most: delivering for customers.
Proven success in delivering against a wide range of KPIs — from sales and stock availability to customer satisfaction and colleague engagement, you’ve made a measurable difference.
Experience managing complex people matters, including performance, absence, and formal employee relations cases, with confidence and fairness.

Working for us has great rewards

Salary will be dependent upon your experience as well as the store size, complexity and location. Alongside this, we also offer a great range of benefits for our managers, including:

Discount card – 10% discount off on your shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu and Habitat after four weeks. This increases to 15% discount off at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday.

Free food and hot drinks provided for Colleagues in all our stores.
Generous holiday entitlement, maternity and paternity leave.
Pension – we’ll match 4-7.5% of your pension contributions.
Sainsbury’s share scheme – build up an investment at discounted rates.
Wellbeing support – access to emotional support, counselling, legal and financial advice.
