Description

Closing Date: 28-Nov-2024

Join us at Sainsbury's on an exhilarating journey to redefine the future of retail through cutting-edge checkout technology! We're on a mission to revolutionise the way millions of customers across the nation shop with us. As a Group Product Manager in our Checkouts team, you'll play a pivotal role in driving this transformation, shaping the customer experience, and steering our vision forward for our store checkouts.
You'll be at the forefront of our innovation efforts. Leading a team of product managers, you'll collaborate closely with stakeholders, suppliers, and cross-functional teams to drive the development and implementation of game-changing features that enhance customer satisfaction and drive commercial success. You'll dive deep into understanding customer needs, devising strategies, and pushing boundaries to deliver on the Sainsbury's strategy.
You'll be responsible for setting the technology vision for our checkout solutions, making data-driven decisions, and prioritising your product portfolio to help your team drive innovation. You'll deeply understand customer needs and preferences, crafting strategies that balance satisfaction with commercial success. You'll forge strong relationships with engineering teams, stakeholders, and partners, collaborating seamlessly to bring your vision to life.
You’ll also join one of the largest Product organisations in the UK, where you can truly develop your product skillset. Sainsbury’s product teams work across Argos (the UK’s 3rd largest general merchandise retailer), Sainsbury’s (the UK’s 2nd largest grocery retailer), Nectar (the largest loyalty programme in the UK) as well as Tu clothing, Habitat, Sainsbury’s Bank and Argos Financial services. This will provide you the opportunity to join our Product Community of Practice, Product Mentorship Program and learn from a diverse range of Product professionals and leaders.
We’re big and that's really exciting when you consider the volume of customers that will see your work, but you’ll also ship lots of value to customers, and you’ll be able to learn and iterate quickly to get the best customer experience.
More about the role
  • You’ll support the strategy and develop specific roadmaps and backlogs for products, building in complete end to end customer experiences that deliver on agreed product metrics (OKRs)
  • Accountable for end-to-end delivery in Product Management for specific products with associated benefit/investment cases, ensuring activity is prioritised in line with the agreed product goals and metrics.
  • You’ll work closely with engineering and experience design to deliver outcomes, arbitrating conflicting priorities and influencing across teams. Spearheading the collective coaching effort within product and the wider business.
  • Lead the collaboration within both the core family team, other product teams and 3rd parties to launch new product features, maximising re-use across the business.
  • Evaluation of potential partner relationships; helping to identify necessary and/or desirable third-party technology to evaluate and select vendors.
  • You’ll support the communication and resolution of live product incidents and effectively prioritise, coordinate and communicate the resolution of production issues.
What we’re looking for:
  • You nail day-to-day product processes (agile ceremonies, user stories, prioritisation) and are as comfortable in the detail as with the bigger picture.
  • Success is about balancing the customer, the tech and the commercials, articulate a compelling vision and unite a cross-functional agile team.
  • You’re courageous and can fly the flag of agile delivery methodologies, coach the team and stakeholders to test and learn, fail fast and deliver outcomes iteratively.
  • You’re technically curious, having worked directly with engineers, architects, and third parties, building real software.
  • A people person, you’ll build, lead, coach and motivate a team of Associate / Product / Senior Product Managers delivering a group of related products in partnership with multiple engineering squads; support them with definition of their product goals, guiding their focus as they build a vision and actionable backlog with associated benefit/investment cases.
  • A successful influencer, flexing your style to drive our strategy forward while always remaining true to you.
  • Customer advocate, you can create compelling strategies to improve our customer experience and know how to prioritise and deliver
In return you’ll get:
  • Colleague discount across the multi-brands – Sainsbury’s, Argos and Habitat
  • Holiday allowance
  • Bonus scheme
  • Pension plan
  • Special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers and more
