Responsibilities

We'd all like amazing work to do, and real work/life balance. That's waiting for you right here. Supply Chain and Logistics are the engine room for getting thousands of products from farms and factories, through the business and to our millions of customers every day. We plan around events from barbecue weekends to Sunday roasts, and who wants oven-ready cauliflower cheese to those who prefer to make it from scratch. Insight and data are everything. But so is judgement - if there's an issue or ambiguity anywhere, we're the first to spot it. There's a big transformation going on. That calls for people who champion change, bring others with them, collaborate and communicate. Because those people can go a very long way.

Qualifications

We are committed to being a truly inclusive retailer so you'll be welcomed whoever you are and wherever you work. Around here, there's always the chance to try something new - whether that's as part of an evolving team or somewhere else across the business - and we take development seriously and promise to support you. We also recognise and celebrate colleagues when they go the extra mile and, where possible, offer flexible working. When you join our team, we'll also offer you an amazing range of benefits. Here are some of them:

• Starting off with colleague discount, you'll be able to save 10% on your shopping online and instore at Sainsbury's, Argos, TU and Habitat, and we regularly increase the discount to 15% at points during the year.
• Pensions scheme and life cover.
• Performance-related bonus of up to 10% of salary, depending on how we perform.
• Annual holiday allowance with the option to buy up to an additional week's holiday.
• Season ticket loans, cycle to work scheme, health cash plans, salary advance, and access to discounts from hundreds of other retailers.
• Up to 26 weeks' pay for maternity or adoption leave and up to 4 weeks' pay for paternity leave.
