Partnership Insights Co-ordinator

This role can be based from any of our Store Support Centres (London, Coventry or Manchester), with the rest of your time working from home. There are no set office days, with office attendance and store visits expected around once a week on average to support collaboration and business needs. 

Why join us

Help turn data into decisions that shape one of Sainsbury’s most strategically important supplier partnerships. Joining our new Partnership Management team, you’ll help shape reporting and ways of working from the outset, supporting a partnership with a key role in improving how the business operates, driving technological change and unlocking the opportunities that AI can bring.

What you'll do

You’ll bring together information from multiple teams and the supplier, turning operational, financial and service data into a clear view of how the partnership is performing. Working with Partnership Managers, you’ll check data, investigate inconsistencies and identify trends, risks and opportunities for improvement. Your dashboards, reports and PowerPoint presentations will do more than describe what’s happened: they’ll drive insights, helping people understand what matters, where action is needed and what the options are.

Alongside the analysis, you’ll help keep the partnership’s governance running effectively, preparing meeting packs, capturing decisions and following up actions with colleagues across Procurement, Technology and the wider business. As this is a new team, not every process or answer will already exist. You’ll help develop practical reporting governance forums and ways of working, while gathering evidence on improvements and new opportunities so Partnership Managers can make informed decisions and track the value being delivered.

Who you are

You enjoy solving complex problems and making sense of ambiguity. You’re naturally curious, able to quickly get underneath an issue and comfortable combining data, insight and different perspectives to work out what really matters. You’ll ask constructive questions, challenge assumptions and use evidence to help shape practical solutions.

You’re equally comfortable creating structure where it doesn’t yet exist, bringing different stakeholders together and turning ideas into action. You’ll build relationships across teams, influence at different levels and adapt as priorities evolve. Experience in consulting, transformation, technology, outsourcing, managed services or supplier governance would be useful. And you’ll be curious about how technology and AI can create new opportunities, improve services and unlock value.

Essential criteria

• Experience supporting supplier, account, service, commercial, project or relationship activity within a business environment, with an understanding of how service or supplier performance affects business outcomes.
• Demonstrable ability to combine and validate data from multiple sources and stakeholder input, identifying trends, inconsistencies or risks and producing evidence-based recommendations.
• Evidence of producing accurate reports, dashboards or presentations that explain findings clearly.
• Proven ability to coordinate information and activity across multiple teams without direct authority, building working relationships and following up agreed actions.
