Job Description
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. The level of data, transactions and variety it involves. Then you’ll realise that ours is a modern software engineering environment because it has to be. We’ve made serious investment into a Tech Academy and into setting standards and principles. We iterate, learn, experiment and push ways of working such as Agile, Scrum and XP. So you can look forward to awesome opportunities in everything from AI to reusable tech.
Why join us

What you'll do
As a Senior Product Manager at Sainsbury's, you will spearhead the Task Management technology vision and strategy, crucial for organizational efficiency and effectiveness over the next three years. Initially this role involves two main responsibilities: enhancing our in-house capabilities supported by two engineering teams, and crafting a forward-looking strategy for Task Management systems post-2024. Your mission includes developing a vision, strategy, and business case that not only boosts colleague productivity but also serves as a cornerstone of Sainsbury's three-year plan, impacting the day to day working of the majority of our 160,000 colleagues. Once your strategy is in place you will then move to realising it and the organisational benefits you identified and agreed.
Who you are
