RESPONSIBILITIES
We’d all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That’s waiting for
you at Sainsbury’s. Everything our Nectar team does is powered and fuelled by
data — and by great relationships with some of the UK’s favourite brands. The
Nectar 360 team focuses on developing loyalty programmes, turning amazing data
into something that makes a difference, traditional media and digital. It’s like
an agency-within-a-retailer, and retail media is crucial. The culture might not
be what you expect either, because there’s no set-up quite like this one. The
team is a real priority because it’s connected to everything the business does
and drives profitability. It’s where you can take risks, learn from them and be
recognised.
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 get 10% off at
Sainsbury's, Argos, TU and Habitat after 4 weeks. This increases to 15% off at
Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday and 15% off at Argos every pay day. We've
also got you covered for your future with our pensions scheme and life cover.
You'll also be able to share in our success as you may be eligible for a
performance-related target bonus of up to 10% of salary (which may vary for
Nectar360), depending on how we perform.
Your wellbeing is important to us too. You'll receive an annual holiday
allowance and you can buy additional holiday. We also offer other benefits that
will help your money go further such as season ticket loans, cycle to work
scheme, health cash plans, pay advance (where you can access some of your pay
before pay day) as well access to a great range of discounts from hundreds of
other retailers. And if you ever need it there is also an employee assistance
programme.
Moments that matter are as important to us as they are to you which is why we
give up to 26 weeks’ pay for maternity or adoption leave and up to 4 weeks’ pay
for paternity leave.
Please see www.sainsburys.jobs for a range of our benefits (note, length of
service and eligibility criteria may apply).
