Community Executive (upto 12 months FTC)
Argos · London
Why join us
At Sainsbury’s, our purpose is to make good food joyful, accessible and affordable for everyone, every day. As our Community Executive, you'll play an important role in bringing that purpose to life through community programmes and partnerships that help more families access good food and support our ambition that no child goes hungry.
This is a great opportunity to work on high-profile initiatives that create meaningful social impact, collaborating with charity partners, colleagues across the business and stores nationwide. You'll help shape and deliver programmes that make a genuine difference while developing your skills in partnerships, project delivery, communications and impact measurement.
What you'll do
Working within the Community and Partnerships team, you'll support the delivery of our community strategy and Plan for Better priorities, managing projects from concept through to execution and evaluation.
You'll build strong relationships with charity and community partners, ensuring programmes remain on track and deliver positive outcomes. You'll coordinate campaigns and activities across our stores and wider business, bringing together colleagues from multiple teams to deliver brilliant experiences for customers, colleagues and communities.
A key part of the role will be measuring and communicating impact. You'll use data, feedback and case studies to evaluate programme success, identify opportunities for improvement and help tell compelling stories about the difference we're making together.
You'll also support the management of community budgets, donations and operational processes, ensuring activity is well-organised, efficient and delivered to a high standard.
Who you are
You're passionate about creating positive social impact and enjoy working with a wide range of stakeholders to make things happen. You're highly organised, able to manage multiple priorities and confident working in a fast-paced environment where plans can evolve quickly.
You're equally comfortable working with data and insight as you are building relationships, and you enjoy turning information into meaningful stories and recommendations. Most importantly, you're a collaborative team player who combines attention to detail with a strategic mindset and a desire to continuously improve.
