We’d all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That’s waiting for you at Sainsbury’s. Here, everything in our Sainsbury’s stores starts out in Sainsbury’s Commercial.

Who You Are

You’re someone who genuinely loves product, especially womenswear, and has a natural curiosity for how great fashion comes together. You thrive in detail‑focused work, enjoy organising information, and take real pride in accuracy.

With a positive, proactive attitude, you’re confident building relationships across teams and keen to develop your skills in a buying environment.
