We’d all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That’s waiting for you at Sainsbury’s. Corporate Services is made up of specialist teams, namely Legal, Information Security, Safety & Insurance, and Company Secretary & Share Management. While they’re distinct areas, we all deal with risk. This covers how we identify risk to the business, people, stakeholders, and shareholders; assess and evaluate the impact of risks; and mitigate or accept them. What makes us different is that we have real exposure to other specialisms; we don’t operate in a silo and can move laterally into other opportunities. We also have an amazing leadership team — which is 50% women — and a genuine passion for Sainsbury’s as a brand and as a place to be.
