Design Manager - Store Implementation

As a market leading grocer with over 1,300 stores, Sainsbury's strives to provide our customers with the shopping experience they want, depending on their lifestyle.

We reflect this in the way that we design and layout the store and continually look to meet the needs that our customers tell us are important to them.  

As a Design Manager, you own the execution of the external and interior design principles to ensure the best possible store environment for our customers and colleagues.

Working closely with our Property colleagues and supplier base, you will provide expert guidance and coaching to shape the store design to achieve the optimum experience across a diverse set of retail environments.

Signing off store designs with a diverse set of internal and external stakeholders, you need to demonstrate leadership, judgement and team working in order to effectively create the best possible retail experience.

  • An outstanding communicator, able to use a variety of techniques to ensure understanding 
  • Stakeholder management 
  • Project management skills
  • Experience of leading and managing external agencies and consultants
  • Budget management experience
  • Collaborative and adaptive to working with all levels of the organisation
  • Ability to work without direct supervision and to take responsibility for the delivery of key projects

You’ll need:

  • Ability to engage, influence and challenge across the business up to a Senior Manger level and be confident presenting to Department Director level
  • Ability to lead and influence across formats and design and property to deliver through others, to ensure the best possible customer and colleague environment
  • Proven ability to prioritise, organise and deliver, balancing time, cost and quality
  • Ability to build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders and agencies
  • Proactively manage and performance review the external agencies
  • Self-motivated to work effectively as an individual and influence others from across the business

You can expect:

  • Discount at all Sainsbury’s stores and online shopping
  • Sainsbury’s Matched Retirement Pension Plan
  • Bonus scheme enabling you to earn an extra annual payment on top of your basic salary
